    A little delay, and it might launch early September - not sure if that'd be better or not

    I've only recently gotten into more serious marketeering as I've realized how long it would take me to acquire a set of purples the way I acquire most invention sets: waiting for drops or low bids on the market. I don't have till infinity. At least not any more.
    I don't play the market that much, anyway - I want the last Inf badge, and that's only with earned Inf, so selling doesn't help at all.
    Plus, I'm full up with IO sets, and while I have purples in storage, I'm not sure if they're relaly that much better than th set bonus I have now.

    No, if it was secret police, it'd be you who'd vanish
  5. I think it counts trial accounts too.
  6. I see he mentions it going live "summer/fall" - would the closed and open betas really be done before the end of this month?

    I'd just like to point out that the info I gave is mroe or less word for word what I was told by a friend when the markets were added to the game - I asked him how they worked, and he gave me a detailed and confident reply, so I've been using the info I posted here for my own market playing - and it did seem to work, so I never thought he was wrong

    That's a heck of a bumper sticker you've come up with there.
  9. The filter used to/still does filter "god", which is often a typo of "good" - so telling someone they were good, or were doing a good job, or had come up with a good idea could seem insulting if you didn't add the extra "o"

    Yeah, same here - I always think of PMs as being private from other forum users, not from the mods.
    I'm pretty sure they can read them, and search a list of them, espeically to check if closed beta info is being passed around

    If someone bids 10 Inf, they'll get the item ahead of those betting 200,000,000 million, because 5 is way closer to 10 than 200,000,000.
    The reason why most people don't bid low is because most sellers set the price high - unless a player who gets a purple drop either doesn't care about making a profit, or is unaware of the value of the purple, it's very unlikely they'll set the price low.

    That's what the last 5 sales window is for - it shows sellers and bidders the market worth of an item - if you see that an item is being bought for 200,000,000, then if you're a buyer, you'll bid that or higher for it, and if you're a seller, you'll set that as the price, or maybe even set it sligtly higher.
    The last 5 sales window is a big factor in driving the constant price rises in WW/BM.

    They're slower than horses, and don't look as nice

    It's ok to get them confused - there seems to be just as much CO chat here as GR right now
  19. I've maanged to avoid any obsessive kind of tells - usually, they just ask what chat program I use, and what chat name I use, and then invite me to chat before they even hear my polite refusal

    The Chat Bug may have other ideas.

    No, put it in the corner, so no one walks into it

    Other players generally just run around practicing cranial-fundament insertion and screaming to hear the echo, with zero consistent understanding of what constitutes a farm.

    Seriously. Bring on these merciless NCSoft employees, because that would force the publishing and deliniation of what exactly a farm is, what a farm isn't, what punishments can be handed out, and exactly when each punishment applies.

    No more of this "Well, we know it when we see it" garbage.
    It'd be kinda funny if they listed being merciless as one of the job requirements when they were hiring new GMs
