I'll be re-listing all my 'extreme' overpriced junk for as much or more.

There's going to be absolute anarchy. People who haven't been paying close attention to the pre-merger market will have NO IDEA what things are "worth".

Also I expect the sudden disappearance of factional barriers to generate an unprecedented buying spree by ultra rich villains who can FINALLY buy stuff NAO.

people who value their game time over their play money.

As the only comprehensive reform possible it was always an inevitability, assuming they did anything at all about the discrepancies.

That isn't going to stop those of us who saw it early and took every opportunity to keep it in the public eye in the face of endless naysaying from devs and others from taking a well deserved victory lap.

1: given categorical dev statements (see my sig for an example) that merging was not an option we can be forgiven for not "seeing it coming".

2: Geko and a couple of us other regs have been battling the stupidity of segregated markets in the face of backward devs and uninformed players for as long as there has been a market. We have absolutely had an impact on the debate, as merging went from a fringe belief promoted by a handful of lunatics to a widely accepted solution to Black Market problems.


and free market tip, everybody on earth is buying up pet sets. my heroes have already stocked away all the IOs my masterminds will ever need, and I know I'm not alone.

I mean, you'll still make inf- the release of GR is going to see a market tsunami the likes of which we've never experienced. But there are many, many other areas that will be more profitable for a longer period after the transition.

I'm sensing some sarcasm in those tags...


=D

the market in a nutshell.


=)

I have the same evidence in hand and yet manage to consistently pay much less than what things are 'worth' when the mood strikes me.

Thinking a little bit about what to bid is faster and more efficient than taking shots in the dark and then watching them with puppy eyes for 'weeks on end' instead of revising them when it's obvious you were off the mark.


making a pile of inf so huge that the price of stuff effectively doesn't matter is much easier than kitting out a character by waiting around for stuff you want to drop.

Fury has made nearly 500 million inf in a few days using tactics available to anyone. I make 100 million every time I step into the MA building. All from taking a few minutes to craft drops. However little you enjoy the process it's clearly the most efficient way to get what you want.


*shrug*

No, it's flawed because it lacks any basis in the reality of how markets work.


I mean, you're free to hold any crazy, wild eyed opinion you want, I'm not going to stop you.

But when that nutty opinion touches on a subject I know inside out, I'll call you on it.

That's not a user problem, that's an interface problem.

Players are gonna do what they do regardless of what we post on the forums. Why else would all the various schemes and plans exposed here over the years STILL WORK?

The solution is improving MA's search functionality, not complaining about what people post on the forums.


I was traipsing through Atlas last night and people were spamming broadcast for "ugly man" teams and "punching bag" farms.
I have no idea what these things are, but I am positive that my mentioning them here does the game no great harm.

why should they have to?

it saves me the tedium of writing my own.

I found the map I use via the crafty tactic of pulling up the search tab and typing in


ticket farm



0.0

and on a similar map my ar/dev runs at +0/x8 and can cap it in ~30 minutes.


Note to skeptics:

MA LETS YOU PRINT YOUR OWN INF.
