I can barely stand it with subpar IOs any more.

I did not know that. But I still think there would be younger guys to play the part.

However towards the NA to play NA stuff. I prefer men to play men and women to play women. "Roots" with the Africans played by latinos, Asians, and caucasians would be a bit silly as well. So I am going to dispute where you took your "logic" up to a point.

Remember I am a big Depp fan (I cannot wait to see The Tourist) but I don't need him in everything I see.

I'll try one last time though I know it is a waste of my time.

Flippers waste the time of those who cannot afford to buy it now.

Flippers save the time of those who want to sell it now.

Flippers save the time of those who can afford to buy it now.

They use their slots to save me time and I pay them for that privilege.

They cannot raise the price above what people who are willing to pay will pay. If you think they can then you go do it. We'll wait.

I happen to value my time over that of the whiners who aren't willing to place patient and meaningful bids or willing to pay for the privilege to buy it now. If the game company felt there were more of the whiners they would do something.

What they have done is at merit and alignment merit and ticket stores for the whiners to go shop at.

Prior to those additions for years I told the whiners if you think there are more of you then by all means form your own alternative market. With the addition of gleemail it should be easier than ever.

tl;dr version: Use merits, alignment merits, tickets, gleemail, patience or influence to get what you want. Apart from patience the devs provided the means to obtain the rest to you.

You're insane. I like it but you're insane.

I used to do that but now I won't waste my time.

Jafar from Aladdin was darn good too.

But that's the thing. The reason there aren't active flippers in all niches is they can only flip things where there is a floor to ceiling ratio they can profit from.

Flippers don't make niches they just move into them.

I agree with DB and would add that since Atlas has newer players they need to up the enforcement of the rules there because of them.

I am a big Johnny Depp fan but I am more than a bit unhappy and put off with him cast as Tonto.

I would think there are hundreds of qualified young Native American actors who could do a good job on it.

I confess I cannot follow your point(s) here however it seems to me that you are on the anti-flipper side since you say if you were in charge you would make major changes to prevent someone from doing something.

"wasting people's time". No matter how you slice it this is not universally true.

Some people come to the market to list items and make bids while some come to buy and sell. There is a difference between those actions that most seem too ignorant to grasp and what it boils down to is the mindset of the buyers/sellers is to NOT leave up bids on items. If they cannot buy it now for what they want to pay they fume and if it doesn't sell now for a price they like they are unhappy.

The bidder/lister goes in not expecting immediate gratification of a purchase or sale.

You may believe that the first group is more important than the second group but stores vs markets indicate a developer interest is not on your side.

However even in the sell/buy-it-now crowd there are distinct attitudes and views. For example I don't care what I get as long as it is more than my floor and I don't care what it costs up to my personal ceiling. Floors and ceilings vary by every player.

So you cannot afford an alchemical silver at 100k? I don't care. I can and I want it now and I don't want the quantity to be 0 so you can have it at 250 whenever someone bothers to sell it.

You cannot afford a Panacea proc at 2 Billion? Again. I don't care. I can and I want it now when I want it and I am willing to pay for it.

So in the world of people willing to pay more to get it now versus those who think some group moving the items from the quick sellers to the buyers willing to pay are bad I laugh and get my stuff and I don't care about those fretting they cannot buy it now.

Leave up a reasonable bid or go get one as a drop or go earn merits or tickets to buy your own if the price bugs you. Me? I will do that if I want or I'll pay the "high" prices.

But what you want does not trump what I want just because you cannot "afford" the good stuff. It's a game and I have the inf and interest to get what I want. I win.

I like where this is headed because it has always bothered me somewhat that my character can do what he would know as virtual missions yet gain exp and inf as if they were real missions.

Now I understand this is all a game and all that but it just bugged me from a logical point of view that Joe on the street would even know who a hero is who never saved one 'real' person or did one 'real' deed from 1-50.

Spike definitely had his emo phase. It was horribly annoying. I think it was about the 5 or 6 episodes following getting his soul back before he got some sense slapped into him.

Keep in mind, pre-vampire Spike was pretty emo when they were showing his flashbacks.

I remember when that used to be how people seemed to want to "audition" to be a teammate. Good time, good times.

When I see this I can only imagine they were using someone else's account who had foolishly paid for a power level or they had subbed using the credit card of someone who had bought inf.

Generally they are comparing it when the SO is your level or higher because at even to your level an SO is 33.33% Purely a strict numbers thing. Of course they are probably looking at when you are using +3 SOs and getting 38.33% boosts. I cannot imagine the cost to pull that off.

You just have to remember in his language 'fun' translates into the English word frustrating.

Yeah, I don't see a zombie attack as a Merle move.

They could have smelled the fish cooking. They could have been slowly following Glen's noisy car.

Good episode. I kept wondering at the beginning if the bite on the fishing line would be a zombie popping up out of the water so I was somewhat glad my suspicion was off base on that.

Remember when the stores weren't there and then when though they were there they were not on the map?

Remember when the markets weren't merged? When we couldn't trade between heroes and villains? When we couldn't email our stuff?

I look forward to one day writing "remember when SOs had those meaningless yet specific names?" But on that day I won't care because I haven't used an SO in a year or more.

I saw stills from it at Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) and the first still I saw was Natalie taking aim with a bow and arrow which looked very intense.
