This was my experience, I sent the /petition in with the items and the approximate date they were sent, it was bumped yo SR support he ashed who sent it, answered and items returned a couple hrs later.

I think last 5 is fine on high volume items ie: popular salvage to track 24 hours would be pages of data. where last 5 can cover days if not weeks of sales for expensive and less popular items.

I wonder if showing the last 5 at all is a mistake. if it was a blind market people would bid and sell based on what they felt an item was worth, and in general there would be a lot less volume but everyone would be buying and selling items at the individual's preconceived value.

I am very confused; you list something on the market and get cheesed when someone buys it for TWICE what you asked?


I wish I had those problems.

Is the Crazy 88s art? performance art maybe? ...

guilty no? I offer 5.5 million to anyone that asks.

and I do that almost comically

I am very impressed with our base architect ( to call him a builder I think is belittling his talent)

and I thought expense very much factored in ... I mean I just added the Perrier taps to the executive wash room, personally I can't stand to flush with common tap water.

I'll get the 5.5 million to you in the morning, because you asked.

but if you need 40 purples, I don't think any are running over 1/2 a billion right now so that's less than 20 billion should be doable is a month less if you get lucky.

I know it will be slow to start, and I personally am not going to advertise the offer in other parts of the forums, in game, elsewhere or do any work but I encourage others to do so.

it's a bit harsh but honestly it is worth 5.5million if it stops just a few people from ******** about not being able to afford anything, and if it honestly helps one person that just hasn't been able to figure it out.

are you sure on that last part, no real way to test it considering the drop rates. but I never heard there was a 10 minute drop cool down. just the 5 minute rep cool down .

I assume it is a concept / roleplay build. and maybe he is frustrated that he can't make Dr. recharge

instead of putting all this energy into his own build he should be befriending a team of 7 kins/ so that he is always at max recharge regardless of his build.

maybe he could call it Snow White and the 7 really speedy people of small stature

I sure hope some of the staff at PS are reading this and laughing as much as I am.

Possible sure, but that would be one terrible build.

The realm of possibility in this game is pretty freaking huge. however the edge cases shouldn't be held as the expectation.

From the mouth of babes ....

that's great and I wish you the best.

The point of this project isn't to educate, inspire, influence or train.

it is simply a pressure release for people that say " I can't afford anything in this game"

now you can buy all the SOs your toon can hold no muss no fuss just ask.

Well there are many different ways to play the game, and they all directly or or at least indirectly affect ones ability to kit out a toon, and when you add in the Ultra rares those differences tend to get magnified. I don't think the way anyone plays is wrong, as long as they are having fun. but by the nature of the play style some will earn faster than others.

achieving goals is the whole point of any game. So yes to some players working towards the goal of getting ultra rare gear in part keeps them playing. Others enjoy other aspects of the game.

You ask how long it should take to get a bleeding edge ultra rare filled toon. That is very hard to answer. It depends a lot on the play style of the player, and their ability to earn both while playing and not.

Any answer I give here will be easily refuted with " that's not how I play" or " you shouldn't have to play like that" etc and I will agree with you but if your goal is to get the ultra rare gear in the least amount of time you may have to do things that you may not enjoy as much, or even some things that are down right repetitive.

If you feel that you shouldn't have to do anything more than playing the game how you want and get the ultra rare gear in the same time then I would say that is a disconnect an ask why someone that produces less should be rewarded the same?

I consider myself a top tier inf producer, I am not sure what numbers Nethergoat, or Fulmens, or other market forum regulars generate in a week, (nor do I want to know, or be inclined to really believe them if they did tell me) but I would guess I am in the same ball park.

I don't play alts often, but when I am inspired to make a new toon, I'll roll it up, run content and focus on that toon, getting them to 50 in about a month or so and that is playing ~14 hrs a week. I am lucky to have a great group to play with, and running TFs is an excellent time:xp ratio. running 3 or 4 a week and some solo time to learn my character.

In that month if I think I am going to want to kit out this toon in ultra rare gear during down time or off hours I'll run a 50 through some proven inf earning exercises (ie: farming) but I am pretty bad at that and can only do that for 45-60 minutes at a time before I have to stop. Then using the drops I won't need I exchange them on the market for ones I can use. and often I have the gear about a month after I hit 50.

Now I am an edge case, I am what one could do if you crunch the numbers and find some of the best inf:time ratio. if you play less, slower, don't enjoy crunching the numbers on the market looking for time:inf and slot:inf ratios then you'll take a lot longer, and there isn't a dam thing wrong with that.

also my ultra rare geared toons aren't all that more survivable than my lesser geared ones, but I enjoy succeeding is kitting out my toon.

also I will say casual players at best dream of ultra rare gear, once they really start working towards that goal they are no longer casual as they are "WORKING" towards a goal.

you right they should sort and colour code the bonuses and maybe add something like WOW look how awesome you are! after your 10th Ultimate bonus

my ego needs a lot of stroking ....
