The way I'd do it is through PayPal. (You and your friend would both have to have accounts.) Just send them the amount+tax to their account, then in turn, they can use PayPal to purchase their pack of choice.

I just made Buffalo Buffalo (on virtue no less!)

So he's going to set out to make that better. His only text will be combination's of Buffalo with punctuation.
Such a silly idea! -
If you have time to think about whether you are or are not casual, you're not casual.

I clicked the city of heroes button (in the sidebar) with a copy of city running in the background and error:
An unhandled exception(''console' is undefined') occurred in NCLauncher.exe [5416]
After telling my debugger to go away the button works fine but still. There's an error Visual Studio 2010 is catching.
While installing test:
An unhandled exception(''console' is undefined') occurred in NCLauncher.exe [5092]

No. Bad! WRONG! You should still have posted. It's all the people who don't post, and sit around muttering about "evil marketers" that exacerbate the problem.
THIS!
Also if you'd have replied to me I'd have set you up for a dozen toons worth of SOs.. was all set to send you the 200m I just made from a single sale... -

And the thread takes a hard right onto Did-you-just-call-everyone-here-unoriginal/uncreative Avenue.
Fabulass was an original creation. I thought of it entirely on my own. But it's been my experience that what I think of on my own has usually been done before in some shape or fashion.
Looked through all my names and.. not a single one would make sense for anyone but me :x -
*shrugs*
Think first hit post later. -
You are aware ratings are client side only, right?

The good mid-level recipes seem to exist as often and in the same quantity as the Contaminated in RV. Spending A-merits (if possible) or R-merits on some non-LotG-grade piece feels excessive but seems to be the only way to fix the non-existence problem without the help of the RNG god.
"Sort of purple" sets at 50 would be nice, bonuses that exist from 1-50 but otherwise normal non-purple values. And more diversity than just accuracy and recharge. -

Chaos Creator, I don't know the "88's" but I do know their stated intentions. You guys hired a friend of mine to expand your base. Unfortunately, said friend's computer died and he hasn't made a comeback as yet.
I'm sorry if I misrepresented you. I have a knack for long-winded posts, and sometimes I don't speak well or clearly.
The fellow that buys the stuff then deletes it...when 15,000 people are in line to get them to USE...that's a griefer.
The folks who buy cheap and sell dear are just doing what others have done for ages. The difference? This is a GAME...not LIFE. It's a recreational activity.
There has to be a way to balance the equation. I'm just not smart enough to "figger out" what that may entail.
Thanks for your response too. Sorry if I slandered you folks. Wasn't my intention.
Happy gaming!
Now I'm curious what about buying something with thousands for sale and no bids? If I buy those to delete is that griefing? -
RISE.
I dunno if 23X is still doing this or not but I'm willing to do the same. I mentioned this thread in another thread so I figured I should dig it up. -

I do think people are fiddling with the market. I've heard of the "Crazy 88s" to whom the market IS the game. Do I have a solution? No...I'm not that smart.
I just wanted to offer the viewpoint of an actual new player. It's hard.
Sure...I can go without slots. I can get killed in missions that others smoke without effort. But why? This is a game...supposed to be fun. Frustration isn't fun...so I try to make my characters as good as may be within my resource pool.
That pool is getting larger...but I haven't forgotten what it was like getting my tookus handed to me in the Hollows when having a million Influence seemed like an unattainable fortune. I will not buy influence. That's against the EULA, and it's wrong on many levels. I'm doing it right. Trying to, anyway.
If "market griefing" is happening, and it seems it is, I have to wonder what kind of person takes pleasure in causing problems for others. The term "schadenfreude" comes to mind.
Second, the following is my opinion (generally) and is not sugarcoated in any way(I don't waste my time with it)
We (The Crazy 88s) do not believe that the market is the game. We believe that the market is a trivially simple mini-game the devs gave us that allows us to rake in inf with barely any effort. You may have heard about us in passing but you seem to have the wrong idea about what we're doing.
The Crazy 88s exist for two reasons:
- To buy our way to the #1 prestige on Virtue(and crush a certain other sg in the process)
- To remove from the game all the inf we spent buying prestige thus combating inflation.
You should check out the market forum, we make no secret of our methods to wealth. Not only that but there is a thread where one of us will buy you your SOs from 1-50. Just ask us.
Regarding a million influence being a fortune, or not;
Back in issue 9 when the market and inventions came out You could get an entire build fully purpled for under 2 billion. Now you can pay that for a single purple damage set. This is inflation.
If you have any questions about the market, why I do what I do or anything else feel free to hit me up @Chaos Creator or come talk to us by typing (without quotes) "/chanjoin theMarket" -
Fired off two PMs to developers begging them to come give their stance on whether this is illegal or not soon. I'm done with the discussion until then.

Shrug. I'm a system administrator / programmer by trade. I automate away any boring task I can.
This argument is therefore invalid. -
Great article, not a PR piece just an honest review.

To put it another way if the system is set up such that you must manually enter everything. That's fine
The AUTOMATION is what I and, I believe, others take issue with.
