Oh and that reminds me, it seems my ignore list didn't come along for the ride.

Already got my first response that was...I won't call it trollish...but let's say someone who doesn't understand the market mentality misinterpreting our ironic jesting. You know, "Oh crap, I'm not making money hand over fist, just hand over hand! Whatever will I do?" "Well, <smarmy smarm smarmenstein>!"

Yeah but AP and Cap are gonna be lag central. You don't actually WANT all those people in one zone.

Crap! I hope I can get home in time to pull down my purple recipe! It's gonna sell for WAY low!

How's this for the first post back...LAME! And why is there a thread looking for a gay SG at the top of this forum? That's neither here nor there!

PS - Good lookin forums!

poked my head into the market today, almost no Nevermelting Ices, over 1k bids and a 'last 5' of 250k.

Needless to say, I rolled a few hundred tickets and did my part to curb inflation!

A true patriot, thinking only of others.

Man you know what they need to do? Put a price cap on common salvage! That will solve this problem once and for all!

Okay let's try this again since my old one got pruned. I'm building a DB/Nin stalker and I'm not sure how best to go about it. This is what I have to start with. What do you guys think? Supposedly it's soft-capped on all positional damage types, but I have a feeling Mids is accounting for Hide wrong somehow...

Well if we're going with arbitrary rules here, choosing a PB/WS seems like cheating. If you're not accepting DIRECT help from your alts by way of starter influence, you shouldn't accept INDIRECT help by using an AT that's unlocked by a L50.

Looking back over the thread, I have a question for you...

Did you ever get that Portable Crafting Table?



Cheers,

[/ QUOTE ]
I got halfway there on my original "main" and haven't thought about it since I switched. My SG base has a table and it's not a far run from Wents to the Base Portal in Atlas. Now that I have a SG Base with a grey room, a yellow room and a orange room each full of salvage racks (guess how I organize them?), I get the recipes I want, run to the base, grab up the needed salvage (writing down anything I use up so I can refill later), craft everything, run back and post.

Really, I've just learned to be more efficient in my old age. I don't need the table so I'm not gonna bother with it. I MAY work on getting it just for the extra salvage slots (I mean once you do all that, might as well get them all right??). It'll be nice to have all the recipes memorized on one toon so I can twink alts more efficiently.

[ QUOTE ]

* sniff * How will the casual player ever purple their warshade with this kind of ebil on the loose?



[/ QUOTE ]
I happen to know that the only reason Flushots (who got started at the same time as me in this very thread!) hasn't posted his own eBil thread is that he's been buying purples. Not for his warshade tho...

...noob.

[ QUOTE ]
Is it me or I can I just buy recipes cheap, craft them and repost the crafted items, and make TONS of cash?! I'm used to playing the market on Eve Online where you NEVER see opportunities this obvious. Usually if it looks too good to be true, you forgot to move a decimal. But I really think this looks to be the case here. Am I missing something or are consumers just really stupid in this game?

[/ QUOTE ]
Original post 5/19. JUST over 2 months to get to 1bil, which includes a 300mil false start on my old "main". I mean, I know it's nothing special, but it feels good to read this and look back at how far I've come...and how eeeeeebil!

[ QUOTE ]
Nice. Welcome to Billionaire City.

[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks everyone for the gratz. And big thanks to 4 and the others who wrote guides and helped me get going. I got here in less than 4 months (only had about 2 mil after the first month, mostly from selling ONE piece of rare salvage that I got as a drop) and worked up about 300mil on my brute before switching servers and starting from scratch.

I am upset I was enjoying Comic Con and missed this thread.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't be. I'd have much rather have been there, than in this thread.

[/ QUOTE ]
QFT. Maybe there will be an epic fail thread I can miss at PAX in a month.

Sorry, I haven't been in the Stalker forum for a few months. I was looking for an old post I made with a DB/Nin build and it's gone. I flipped back a few pages and there's almost nothing before May 09. &gt;.&lt; On top of that there is not a singe DB guide in the guides section.

Can anyone tell me which moves do what combos? There's nothing in the description that says which move starts the Sweep combo, for instance.

Does anyone have any advice for building a DB/Nin stalker? This guy will be mainly for teaming in PvE with some solo work thrown in occasionally. Any advice or links to informative threads would be welcome!

TIA!

In other news: JDouble, you are going on /ignore. You don't have a shot at the arguments, so you're taking a shot at the posters.

[/ QUOTE ]
Second this. Now if only there were a way to block out avatars too without just shutting off image loading in my browser.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm way ahead of you guys. Actually it took me longer than usual to put JDouble on ignore, but Lacrymosa got on my ignore list within hours! *slow clap*

BTW, Milady's Knight you are awesome. You remain one of my favorite posters in these forums for your unending patience and willingness to educate people (even those that don't want to hear it) across any subject. Props.

Read, read, read, insult. My job here is done.

*rolls eyes*

I think the mods are on vacation. There have been plenty of opportunities for them to jump in here and they haven't yet. I think they're all at Comic-con with Megan Fox.

OK, I'll come back to answer this.

I just figure that a person willing to pay real money for in-game currency is more likely to dump a large sum of said currency on a single item. In other words they have less respect for the currency than a person who actually plays, farms or marketeers to earn it. And tracking down the players who purchase inf thru RMT sellers would lead to the sellers themselves, making it easier to get rid of them. I realize some people have honestly earned very large sums of inf and they can do what they please with it. I just see 100mil inf = 5 hours work, and I base my bids on that. Whereas a person who's willing to pay whatever the going RMT rate currently is, simply sees 2bil inf as easily earned and easy to spend. I do believe RMT has a destabilizing effect on the market, especially in low supply areas such as purple and PvP recipes. I can't say how big an effect, and I don't believe eliminating RMT will seriously reduce prices, but will only alleviate incidences of crazy spending (like Beefcake's 1.2bil Panacea proc sale). So I simply had the idea that flagging large purchases for investigation would help track down RMT sellers, much like police will look for large luxury purchases to track down thieves and drug-dealers.

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't understand your point tho. RMT sellers put their websites in every spam email they send. They're not hard to find. Tracking large purchases is used to find RMT buyers, not sellers.

Quick update, about 5 minutes ago I got my first purple drop. Armageddon Dam/Rech. This is the second time I've been out of MA on my L50. Niiiiice!

EDIT - Make that Apocalypse. I always get those Amarr Battleships confused. &gt;.&lt;

You can't have an opinion on objective facts...they're either right or wrong! I have a relative who posted on Facebook, "It's 103 degrees outside and my landscapers are doing the lawn. I'm glad I'm not Mexican!!" I called her out as a racist and she said that was my opinion and we'd have to agree to disagree. (TRUE STORY, BTW) No, she is a racist. There's no opinion involved.

[/ QUOTE ]

....or maybe she was trying to say that 99% of the people that work hard outdoors in the sun all day around her community are Mexican and she is glad she doesn't have to do that stuff BUT just did a poor job at getting her message across and your the one that is an over sensitized politicly correct nub that jumped on her and accused her of being a racist when in fact her only crime was not acutely clarifying the intention of her post.

If you can't see that your little analogy was complete opinion you shouldn't even be posting your thoughts.

[/ QUOTE ]
...or maybe she actually is racist, since anyone who wasn't would have apologized and edited their post right away, not having realized how racist they sounded. Your personal attacks have the same inattention to logic as your posts about the game.

Racism as a belief system is scientifically proven to be incorrect, whether you're "an over sensitized politicly correct nub" or not.

Here's an easier to understand analogy. You can not spell correctly and have poor grammar. There's no opinion involved. You used "your" instead of "you're". You used the word "acutely" in the wrong context. Your entire first paragraph was one run-on sentence. I could go on. These are all facts. You can't say that it's my opinion...well you can, but it just makes you look like an idiot. Was that simple enough for you?

EDIT - Oh and since the entirety of your post was a personal attack, that's called trolling, which is against the forum rules. Another couple "opinions" I'm sure you'll disagree with.

[ QUOTE ]
You come in here like your [censored] dont stink end all market genius and expect me to just be like Ok smurphy said no so I'll shut up now. You voiced your opinion...I voiced mine. We disagree. Get over it and calm down. Your taking this [censored] way to personal Smurph.

I think drop rates need increased on purples, and there needs to be some sort of price cap wether it be 150 mil or 500 mil. That is MY OPINION. You disagree and have stated that like 10 times now. Got it. You can go back to your ITFs on test now.

Price caps would create a black market and things would be more expensive, that's just a fact. "Market manipulators" don't make the prices climb. Prices climb because people have more money than they know what to do with from farming AE...which btw cause purple supply to decrease! If you coose not to believe in economics or evolution or a round planet or anything else that's objectively true, you should probably get used to people getting upset with your obtuseness.
