Huh. Now where did I say that their advice doesn't work?

Oh yeah... I didn't.

I just meant that there's other ways to make money in this game, ranging from awesome to decent. Ways that seem to rub certain goats the wrong way. *shrug*

It's too late to try and explain things now. You've trampled all over their dogma so the haters are gonna hate. All the goat is gonna do is continue to bray at you very loudly about how stupid he thinks you are. It's the one thing he's really good at.

You think the rest of us are imaginary?

Perhaps a team of seven Thug/Dark MasterMinds, and one Warshade?

All the MMs activate Gang War...

It's server crashing time!

In light of your first sentence, I'll modify my original statement: Now I know how you would have stood on those two issues back when they were hot.

Your second sentence makes no sense. No truth is universal; you're confusing it with fact.

Regarding your third sentence, I think you are doing the same thing. What is wanted and what is needed are usually intertwined. If you want something, then you usually need to do or get something in order to attain it.

And that leads me to your final sentence. And now I'm rather convinced that you've been in the trenches of working retail for far too long, haha! You're making a far to gross of a generalization if you think that all players complaining about the price of common salvage on this game's market are suffering from delusions of self-importance!

Just for sake of argument, what if this overpricing of common salvage on the market has caused something of a negative reputation on the game as a whole, and thus deterred a large number of people who might have otherwise maintained a subscription to the game? I'm not saying that's so, but then again I have no idea what other people say about this game on other boards. For all I know, the problems with the market are small compared to, say, the problems with PvP. Then again, maybe somewhere there are people who talk about the "crazy prices" on the "crazy market" and how that was the straw that broke the camel's back for them.

I do sometimes wonder about that. It might be part of the reason why the devs have worked in ways to get things in the game in many different ways.

Now I know what side you took during the whole ED and GDN debacles!

You have to learn to think five dimensionally.

It sounded more to me like he was saying, "I don't care about anyone else's perceptions and if they don't agree with mine then they are stupid!"

But then again, that's just my perception.

I see that you've worked in retail.

Just to spite you, I leave my bids up for 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds before I take them down and declare that no one is selling at that price!

Never confuse truth with fact. Truth is always relative, but the facts are objective.

The problem is that no one ever has all of the facts. In the absence of such data or empirical evidence, people are prone to filling in the gaps based on their own beliefs.

You see so many Non-Maskable-Interrupts for sale, but you have no idea what the asking prices on any of them are. You see so many bids for them, but you don't know what prices those bidders are asking. You also see that just recently a whole bunch of them sold for an incredibly outrageous price.

The conclusion you come to with only those three bits of information will be largely based on your experience, intuition and beliefs. Obviously, anyone who thinks the market is too unfair and too complex will have those beliefs reinforced; they'll remember that and similar events in a long list of evidence that the market is broken and needs to be fix because of "rampant and runaway prices".

This is kind of why anecdotal evidence is unreliable, but it's also why so many people swear by their own experiences while at the same time dismissing others' differing experiences.

I keep reading 'NMI' as "Non Maskable Interrupt". :P

Just an observation, mind you, but it sounds like you have no problems waiting at long traffic lights.

I have this set on my WP/DB Tank. That little proc is what pushes her perception to the hard cap. It's pretty neat.

Just like a certain Mister Phelps! You'll have to guess which one.

Declare them uncivilized, and then invade them and claim their lands in the name of your God and Country.

Gee, where have I heard that before?

Meet the new boss.

Same as the old boss.

So what have you done today to remove Kim Jong-il from power?

Oh, in this case I think we'd do better with a few American examples.

"Love and compassion" indeed. Historically, people preaching such things tend not to get the wrong kind of attention.

Basically it's a choice between living in a Lawful Evil empire, or face certain death at the hands of giant monster mutant things. I guess that's not much of a choice.
