I'm not talking about random acts of kindness, I'm not talking about dumping stuff on the market that was made for badges. Did I suggest for one second that stuff like that doesn't happen? No. Did my original message seem even remotely like I was talking to you if that's why you post stuff cheap?

I'm talking to the person who's treating this like a poorly paid job, who's churning off cheap IOs like they're in a sweat-shop. I'm not telling you that manufacturing IOs to make influence is a bad thing. I'm just suggesting that you might want to make a reasonable profit out of it.

This is an open message to anyone prepared to sell basic IOs in Wentworth for very little profit.

In particular I'll address the most used level 50 basic IO - Recharge.

Selling level 50 recharge IOs for 300,000 or less is IMO not very clever. At the rate you're earning (only accounting for the time you actually spend making the enhancements and posting them) you'd be far far better off spending your time doing task forces for merits (and inf) and then spending the merits on Miracle +Recovery IOs and selling them for around 200 million a shot.

What you're doing is a relative waste of your time. You'll find players will pay 400,000 and even if you aren't the only one selling at that price you'll still be getting a much better return on your investment of time.

PS. If your intention is to undercut everyone else trying to make a reasonable profit, to drive us out of the market so you can then raise your prices and still have the whole market then you can forget it, because I'm not going anywhere (and I very much doubt I'm the only one). I'm going to keep checking the prices in Wentworth, forcing you to grind away your time as that's the only way you're going to keep me from making a reasonable profit from my time. You want to work at this like it's a real job? Be my guest. It's your time to waste. When I'm not checking the market I'll be the one doing TFs and making your rate of return look pathetic.

Regarding Multistrike - sure you can add 1.8% to your defense, but you sacrifice too much to do it I think. By maximising the recharge on your aoe attacks you get the stun and knockback effects more frequently, not to mention finishing off opponents faster. For these sorts of attacks where the secondary effect can be the difference between standing and falling I sometimes emphasize recharge before damage. Note however that there's an endurance cost involved with this approach.
