After all this time, I expected a little love from Wildstar, since this profession has been broken since day 1. Now I log in and rush to get me some new patterns to find out that for a core... that NO ONE will buy, cost me 5 EPIC signs of logic! Are you kidding me! I don't know why technologists are hated by the dev's. Did one of us kill your Mom? Maybe keyed your car? whatever it was, and whoever did it, does not mean the rest of us should suffer.
 
There are thousands of us who have waited patiently for our profession to get caught up with the rest of the game. We have sat by and watched others make stacks of platinum while we made a little here and there. Let me give some small examples of how we have been the joke of the game, financially.
 
1. Our relics plots: 4 nodes MAX! Survivalists 5-6 trees +food +leather... Miners 4-5 nodes
2. Vendoring stuff we farm: a full stack of 100 Kinetic Omni Plasm vendors for LESS THAN 8 gold! My guildees make 1-2 Plat a day, just from farming neighbors!
3. Medi-Shots... seriously. a healing aid, that you have to be level 45+ to farm the mats, was designed for a level 35. Then they made the medishot available at vendors, cheaper than we can make it?
 
I have always loved and bragged about this game. I have waited with anticipation of something to finally change about the technologist profession. I have never been this mad with the designers of a game before in my life! people are leaving the game, because of it being broken in different ways... I never thought I would be one of them, or even contemplating leaving because of how much of a challenge the game is, and how much fun I have had playing it.
 
Simple FACT: you kick someone in the privates, that person doesn't respond well.
 
WILDSTAR DEVS: QUIT KICKING US, OR WE WILL RESPOND IN KIND!

Are you trolling?
 
OMG 5 Signs of logic!!! Dude go play the game kill some mobs they drop all the time. Everything isn't free and sometimes you have to spend some time to succeed.
 
Post like this make me cry and wonder to myself when the era of everyone gets a trophy will be over.

			Well I lvl'd up my technologist today kinda excited about it.. had read on ptr and stuff and knew the boosts and medishots were going to basically be worthless (not enough of a increase over the old ones to justify the cost increase) but I was looking forward to the gadgets... Made a nice armor gadget for my tank (who is my technologist) then went to make one for a guildy AND IT WAS SOULBOUND TO ME... Are you kidding me????   I seriously hope that is a bug and not intended.  So basically we get a few possibly useful field techs, the ability to combine for the flux and a really expensive core...  No other crafters are stuck making something that's soulbound <cry>

I made 63 plat as a Technologist yesterday, just selling fluxes at 2g50s each. It was a good day to be a technologist.
 
As for boosts, they are a LOT cheaper. Run the math. 10 bloodbriar can make you 21 of the new boosts. Pre-patch 10 bloodbriar made you 4 of the old boosts. I'm sorry, but you completely misunderstand your tradeskill if you claim the new boosts are more expensive.

With the herbalist talent point (which has been fixed) you get 7 essences for 5 bloodbriar.
With 2 essences, you make 3 flasks.
 
Hence 10 bloodbriar -> 14 essences -> 21 flasks

I've been a technologist sense day one.  I've made lots of money pre Drop 3 capping at around 400p.
 
After prepping for Drop 3 I was down to 200p.  As of last night I'm at 700 plat.
 
I'm pretty happy with the technologist love.  I'm sorry you are unable to make mad stacks of money.  I don't think its the profession holding you back though.
