Heck, even those of us who only sort of play the market have made tons.
I mostly only make generic IO's and I have done well.

The people who played the market to get rich now are paying for their greed. I say things are balancing out just nicely. One could almost call it Karma o.@

There is so much wrong with this I don't know where to begin.
But I will leave you with this, the people that got rich playing the market for greed were smarter than you in I13, nothing in I14 has changed that.

Wow, three replies to me, that certainly struck near a nerve. :P
I conceed to that theory that the players were smarter then me, but I also point out, that I'm not in this game to make money. I'm not entirely sure if that makes them smarter then me if i have a different priority?
Thanks for the feedback however ^_^

....yes. I'm totally poor now with i14. ignore the fact I'm still making millions upon millions daily for no effort.

In my experience, it's true. Noticeable, perhaps, but necessary? I do fine against reasonably-sized PvE spawns with just SOs and regular IOs. My friends who PvP more than I do have told me that's all I really need for most of this game. I don't need an Indy car to go to the supermarket.
Now, if you're the sort of player who's frequently out there on the edge of what you can handle, in PvE or PvP, then yes, you are going to want and need more. But then, as I said, I submit that you are not a "casual" player; you are a "serious" player, and should expect to put in the time and effort required to improve your personal skill and equip yourself properly.

key word, reasonably sized. . .say you are the lead brute (BRUTE NOT TANK!) on something like the ITF or RSF with an 8 man team. . .sadly with plain IOs you will be destroyed, unless of course you have several buffers capping everything you have, or one healer dedicated to only you.
And honestly. . . most of the PvPers I know don't use purples. . . they use other things to get the defense bonus (which only what. . .1 purple set gives?)
*please note EVERYTHING I POST is my opinion, or noted from my personal observations! please don't go shouting about how wrong I am. . . everyone is entitled to their opinion. On that note, please also don't take offense to anything I respond on your posting about =]. (now I know the sarcasm will ensue. . .)

RSF can be done with any brute....all it requires is a little stratagy, same with ITF. If you are infering you can't go stand toe to toe with mulitple AV's without being tweaked out...I agree. But there is no need to do that in either of those instances. You CAN fight the AV's in the RSF one at a time. You CAN fight Romulus without his little buddies helping him out. Does it take longer or better precision to do it...yes..but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
Also...The RSF is also argueably the hardest SF challenge in the game...I mean, heck, the thing had to be toned down because noone, not even the dev's, could beat it. They offered free subscriptions to anyone who could. Hmmmm...and you want to go in there willy nilly?
the offered free subscriptions to anyone who could beat the RSF? when was that done? If I would have known I'd have a free sub right now 
beat it the second day it came out :/
And I have done the masters WITHOUT the vengbait trick (which was fixed) :/ I know that they can be fought seprately, but they are actually set up NOT to be. . .they will chain unless you get lucky :/
and actually as far as the ITF goes. . .the brutes I see (and my own.. .) actually have more troubles with the cims than the AVs O.o
Another little note. . .yes before we could go on just SOs I'll agree. . .but also note a couple of things.
1.) there didn't used to be ED
2.) Defense and Resistance caps!?
3.) The release of several new villain types*
*IOs were released fairly shortly after villains was**
** With villains came the Longbow (sonic grenades, and then wardens which can have pretty much any debuff), Arachnos (PSI dmg used to be called 'rare' before these guys, who have it starting at level what? 20?). Then came vanguard. . . then the cimeroreans. These are all particularly NASTY groups for the solo player, a small team, or poorly prepared large teams!
