When people are playing their 50s more again, there will be more supply, and prices should drop.

I suppose hoarding could be part of it, but I somehow doubt it. As far as I know, they haven't announced a release date for I19 yet, so I don't know what would have happened in the course of a week to cause prices to shoot up so high so suddenly.

I realize that correlation doesn't imply causation, but it's hard not to suspect something to do with the halloween event, since that's really the only thing that changed in the last week. I'm just not sure why that would drive purple prices up.

I don't think we're wrong for wanting better, and retorting in a snarky and condescending manner won't change that.

As for the rest, I stand by my points. If you don't like it, that's fine, move along... I'm not holding a gun to your head making you read it or waste your time carefully wording a hostile and spiteful response to "not read as a personal attack". If you have something constructive to add, that's wonderful too

See, soloing is boring. I really enjoy playing on teams! And yet, I can't seem to do that either.
I have lots of time, and none of it is very close together. If I want to join a team I either A) Hope to dear god that I see one looking for people and have a character I actually want to play with them, or B) Start a team, spend more than half the time I have forming it, then have to leave halfway through the first damn mission.

And hell, C) Finding a steadier group of people to join up with whenever I'm on doesn't work either- In addition to liking team play, I also like actually following the story of story arcs, and with the completely random times I can be on or have to suddenly leave.. well, nobody has the patience for that kind of sticking around, and It'd be cruel to want someone to.

So I end up doing E) A jar of almonds.
Er, D) Solo for a minute or two and then get tired of being level 7, or 11, or 27, and fighting nearly-identical groups of foes a hell of a lot because I can rarely up the difficulty solo and live.

Global channels? Yeah, I keep those up, and once in a while I'm glad I do, as Virtue LFG makes A) up there actually possible. But only once in a while. Most of what's there is task forces which, if you hadn't guessed from my description of available playtimes, are right out.

What the hell should I do?


And I swear to god if you tell me to join a Supergroup I will bake your innards into a quiche and feed it to your SGmates.

And I like how the argument shifted from everyone needing to use them and finding a way to abuse them to no one will use them. You don't like the idea, great... say so and move on. Don't make up arguments and speculate facts to shoot down an idea that wouldn't affect you at all if you don't choose for it to do so.


And now to counter your argument with your own way of thinking: I think you're wrong. I think everyone would use them. Yes, even you and you're lying right now because you don't like to admit that you're wrong.

You make it sound like I'm ordering everyone to stop farming because I don't like it.

(No confusion at all right?) If others find farming fun thats fine but I would really prefer if there were two zones for Atlas Park this way they can have their fun while I can have mine. It's not a huge problem because most players who don't farm rarely visit Atlas Park, it's not a huge problem but I just wanted to see reactions and arguments. Sewer teams are not farming, if this was farming the size of enemy groups would have been reduced long ago. I've also never paid for a sewer team

Theres currently a lot more stuff that has far higher priority.
Like, I dunno...making PvP not suck? Mebbe? Before even thinking about adding more zones for it.

Oh, and all that PvE stuff too. Because theres a lot of it.
