So clearly this had to be fixed because ebil marketeers would buy the IO, slot it, toggle it, respec it out, and flip it for huge profits, yet were still able to walk away from the market with 120 seconds of stealth.

That said, I'm in as soon as I rebuild my bank of inf. I've gone a little destruction crazy, burning off a couple billion so my 7 year old could play base builder and buying high/selling low (or giving away) some upper mid-range IOs just for kicks. I don't think I have a single character with over a billion inf now.

All from ten minutes of "work" on two characters, buying cheap recipes and salvage overnight then listing expensive enhancements. If that doesn't count as free money, nothing does.

Like CC pointed out, I don't want SuperDuperRichyRich taking over just to troll us and rip it apart for ShizzenGigglez.

As far as leadership, all you really need to do is let it run itself and perhaps build a base or let others in the group build it.

This group doesn't strike me as the social event of the season. It strikes me as a business deal with a purpose and a set of goals. Ambition and unbridled marketeering will run this group.

My first thought on the ranks:

Leader: Grand DeFulmenestrator
Commander (5B Contributed): Marketeer God
General (4B Contributed): Peasant Flogger
Captain (3B Contributed): Marketear Brewer
Lieutenant (2B Contributed): Truly Ebil Marketeer
Member (1B Contributed): Ebil Marketeer

Other suggestions? This spitballing, mind you, is just for fun. It's very possible that I'll only be in one of the lower ranks. I'm not THAT rich.

I had no idea there were "ranked" supergroups out there. Is it like EQ or WoW where people have to apply to join and you have to have some minimum level of "gear" and attendance is mandatory. Or where they say "taking applications for two Dominators (perma-only please!) and a soft-capped Shield Scrapper or Brute." or "all members must take Vengeance."

Man, I don't miss those days. My current supergroup is just a place to hold my loot and have teleporters to all of the zones. I shudder to think what my ranking is.

1) Who or what is ranking SGs so that one of them can be considered the #1 SG on a server?

2) How does "destroying" inf cause a SG to be ranked higher?

3) How does this relate to the Market? By "destroying inf" do you mean buying things for your SG? What base items are sold at the market, or sold at all for that matter?

On the other hand, I'm fresh out of marketears for my marketea.

Edit: Perhaps Champion would prove enough of a challenge since you don't really want to tangle with Freedom and Virtue.
