#### Why can't we make everything?

I am very frustrated by our inability to make so many of the things we need to play the game!
Why can't we make bags, toolboxes and animal sticks? Why can't we make (or grow or harvest) honey, olive oil, mushrooms and ice?
I know that this has been discussed before but I just want to bump bump bump bump bump this back into consideration!
I want to make bags for the newbies and I want to make butterfly eggs to replace my constantly dying butterflies and it just makes me all twitchy and grumpy that I cannot do these things on my own the way I want. Hmmmpf! Hmmpf! Grrrrr! Argh!

- not sure what to say about bags, but you can make butterfly eggs....

- I think the intention is that eventually (farther away than "soon") we will be able to make everything. (There have been persistent rumors of vendors being removed.)

- Recently 8 upgrade cards involving vendor buy and sell prices have been released, so the rumors of vendors being removed seem less likely now. If vendors are going to disappear, it probably wouldn't be every single vendor.

- (butterfly eggs require honey which must be bought from a vendor)

- why can't you make butterfly eggs?
  Edit: oh. so you just hate vendors then. I mean, honey isn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things.

- I don't hate anybody.
  I just really enjoy being self sufficient or relying only on other Glitchen. It isn't about the money. It is about having our own self-contained world. DIY appeals to me in the real world and I think Glitch could be a perfect expression of it if we could make or grow everything ourselves. I guess this is one of the aspects of the game that is just really gratifying to me. I think it would be super-neat to be able to play the whole game without ever buying anything that wasn't created by one of my fellow Glitchen. And I get a special pleasure in giving gifts that I have made myself.

- I don't think it's about the expense as much as the gratification that results from sheer ability.
  Besides which, I want Honey Badgers, grump grrrump.
  **lol, missy self sufficient :D

- Well until that day when you can make everything, you might want to look at things a little differently. I don't know, maybe find something that's gonna be worth all the stress and frustration your having over this. Those really aren't 'necessary' items except maybe the bags, which you probably already have.
  Remember...there aren't any hospitals in glitch so you have to stay happy and healthy!

- I have some sympathy with this self sufficient view, but then I think of how many great new players I meet on my trips to Grand Mile for honey or beer, and decide that the vendors are good to have around.

- I agree, I wish we could make more of the items that already exist. I was disappointed when butlers were introduced that we couldn't make them too.

- There could be a quest to find doll parts, and then we'd need string and honey to stick them together to make butlers.
  I agree with the OP; my understanding is that your wish will be fulfilled eventually.

- Eventually most of those things were supposed to harvest some where or from something. I doubt that all the vendors will go away, but i have the feeling eventually most will. Until then, we'll just have to wait and see :) But i'd try and relax about it, it will happen, just gradually.

- I honestly never thought ALL vendors would be removed (nor would I want them all to), just most. I do believe TS has said they do plan on making many things attainable from the world and not vendors though.

- That is what i had heard as well these items are supposed to come form somewhere in the world, most likely new wild animals...but still gradually introduced, eventually:)

- Hey - you used to have to buy hooch. It'll happen sooner or later.
  I can imagine honey badgers. you would have to nag them to give you honey. They would have a 'badger' verb, and after listening to you for awhile and showing ill-disguised contempt (like most Ur-ian animals) it would give you honey and tell you to shut up and go away. Here's hoping!

- We will be able to make it all in due time as more of the world opens up.

- + 1M to honey badgers! (I am so ready for the propaganda campaign)
