Player driven economics.

I believe that processors will be most in demand supply-chain function.

I believe that If they work it right they would be hands-down the wealthiest players.

It just seems so boring.

Anyone got any other ideas?

Just some pointers.

1- You can only get 1 character per server per account. So, for a second character on the same server you will need a second account and a second subscription (I'm not entirely sure about this but I remember hearing it on an intrepid stream from several months ago.).

2- SInce procesing and crafting are both tied to taxes (both a crafting tax and a selling tax) on the end gathering is the most profitable one (despite being the most risky and the one that needs the most work).and this will be much more evident the more mastery the gatherer has since he will end up wasting less time on more profitable resources and as you cannot drop all your inventory when dying gathering will mean plain profit allways.

3-We still do not know how repairing will work, we dont know if it will be a service provided by the game and you only need resources, or you will need a proceser/crafter you can trust.

4-Consumables starts as the branch with less profit but remains more stable due to constant consumption so it is generally the best branch to get constant profit with a good market outflow that allows you to keep buying materials fast in order to increase your crafting level. They are also less popular so there is less competence at the beginning, especially with cooking.In my experience it is the second best crafting branch loosing only to enchantments (but leveling enchantments is expensive, very expensive, so much so that leveling without having a stable source of income is suicide).

5- Coca-cola still better than Pepsi.

But DrPepper beat them all (dont tell cocacola, they will stop sending me burn)

Hey thanks for that.

You said "You can only get 1 character per server per account."

That from the wiki? I might have missed it.

Your other points are important to consider also.

Pce!

Alts are a thing.
You only get one free hold per account.

Right. Do we know how many alts per account?

From the wiki:
Warehouses may enable a player to transfer non-material goods between alts. This excludes resources, materials or anything that relies on the caravan system.

I’ll be happy if they keep this. Alt crafting ladder is undesirable for the community aspect of the game.

"It's worth mentioning that you will be limited to 1 freehold/account. Your skills can be different between your toons - but your ability to drop different processors on your Freehold will not."

Aaaaahhh...
Right, that does seem to be the gate keeper in my alt-step ladder approach to crafting. I'm glad you pointed that out so I can stop thinking about it!

Get some friends from your guild to put their freeholds next to yours. You each choose a different processing station for your freeholds. You've just made your own mini-village of processing stations that you can all use.

Enjoy!

They said a comfortable amount.
Speculation is 8 based on the 8 archetypes.
Don't think they gave a solid answer yet. But maybe and I missed it.

Ok! Thank you. I sure hope they feel 8 is comfortable. I do!
