An enchanter that spends time servicing cheapos is not a good market to cater to. Poor profit. Better to service good tippers or simply sell enchanted vellums on the AH.
Go ahead and spend more time finding the dumb enchanter that doesn’t value his profession and will provide services to strangers for chump change. No skin off my nose.
And at this point in the transaction it is no longer a tip, it’s a fee since you are requiring a specific amount.
Exactly, which means they need to state it up front.
When I provide tailoring services, I don’t ask for a tip. I just tell people to bring me the mats and then “it’s yours”. Most people end up tipping anyway, anywhere from 20g to 250g depending on how excited they are. Actually asking for tips when you’re not providing any mats for the service (especially when the customer comes to you) is actually a service fee and not a tip. So, why not just say “service fee of Xg” instead of trying to guilt people into giving you tip?
I got 1g tip for SP to Bracer enchant in TBC.
You know, the one you have to go hunt down Geomancers that share a spawn with Skirmishers (or whatever).
On my Holy Priest.
I wasn’t bitter at all. No, nah, nuh uh.
Imagine never getting a customer because you are being boycotted for a forum post showing how much of a Karen you are about offering enchanting services
Some people would tip higher than a stated fee. A stated fee would discourage good tippers from going beyond the minimum fee.
I think the better solution is to not be cheap at tipping.

Well notice they are not posting this on their actual enchanter either. They knew exactly what the community’s reaction would be and if they had posted on their real enchanter, they would already be blacklisted on their server.
I am altruistic I try to refuse tips, its a game I enjoyed lvling the prof and the interaction of your group and gettin you your enchant. And often my tip refusal is refused and i have to accept it. But thats just me.
I think the disconnect is that you think a “good tip” and a “bad tip” are both tips if you only take the good tip on the value that you’ve pre-set for yourself which is in turn a service charge, not a tip.
i am not tipping 20g in this economy you’re insane
Yeah you’re right! Let me give you 20g for you to click in your spellbook and find the enchant I asked for. This is exactly why I only buy scrolls, to avoid dealing with people like you.
This is why I just buy the inscriptions now and avoid whiny enchanters all together.
And here I am not complaining after I craft 200 potions taking 10mins and not getting tipped anything. But yeah, enchanters have it so bad…
Oh, hi there Drini (the OP). I see you are pulling the old “OP hiding behind an alt to bump their own threads” routine.
How do I know you are the OP you might ask? Well if I put the OP on ignore, then you also go on ignore, “magically”. That means they are the same account.
How lame is it that you resort to bumping your own threads with an alt.
Thanks for the laugh!
Problem is that people don’t value their own tradeskills.
Also tipping is stupid just charge people 20g.
I do that with guildies. I don’t accept tips/fees from them.
Randoms? Unless it’s a rare enchant that I have and can profit well on it, I just use the AH these days with vellums. Less hassle, more profitable.
I kind of get this, but also not because the value in my tradeskill is crafting and posting on the AH, anything else I do for players is because I have time to do it.
