I blame the RMTers they're the reason why prices are going up

The following parties/phenomena* are responsible for the destruction of the game:
1) Jack Emmert and his Vision
2) ED/GDN
3) PvPers
4) Marketeers
5) RMTers
6) AE Farmers
Seriously, with all these nefarious forces at work, I can't believe the servers can even boot anymore. I look forward to adding the RPers to the list as Rogue Rage gets into full swing.

I blame Role-Players. How the **** am I supposed to buy Pangeon Soil for a reasonable price when those RP "super" heroes have to look both ways before crossing the street and have to emote-warmup for 10 minutes inside the mission before it starts.
why did you have to put that image in my head already....*starts thinking of rainbows and lollipops*... damn, still there. give me another image squez.... pretty plz?
If you were the sharkest of the quints, I might be able to oblige. It's always best to work with the top dog, y'know.

You are right on the money. This is, in my opinion, why so many lottery winners go bankrupt almost immediately. By and large, I think a large number of people who play the lottery don't understand finances in the first place.

Yes, play fewer toons so you can get burned out on the game. That would kill the game faster than the anti-farmer threads. imo.

Well, after about 35 hours i got my purple horse. It came in the form of an Apocolypse: Dam/Rech. Nice one. 35 bidding and 0 for sale atm. Last 5 are between 140-155mill crafted. Options as followsl;
A) Craft and sell.
B) Hold CC for it.
C) Sell to vendor.
D) Sell for 5 million to set a trend. (though unlikely) It'd more than likely just be flipped.
Decisions, decisions....

I've already got in my bid for 10 mil for it.

Alas, you can't stop people from bidding more than you want them to. The only 'trend' you could start is a higher price floor.
35 bidding and 0 for sale says to me it's undervalued and to list it substantially higher than 'last 5'.

So, maybe 200mil?
I'd list it at the break point between the highest 'last 5' sale and 200.
I/e, the price at which an impatient buyer will give up bid creeping and go straight to 200.

C) Spite the marketeers. Oh and create some marketears.
The best way for you to lower prices is to delete it. That will stop flippers from ever getting their dirty hands on it.
Smurph's right.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
Yea. I took Smurphs idea. It went to delete can. I dont have a ranged toon, so it didnt hurt me any.

Did you really delete it?
You told me too and since i'm so ignorant, i figured i'd listen to some of teh market people moar. Hope i helped some.
People have, in seeming sincerity, said they deleted items to prevent marketeers from flipping those items and thus prevent prices from skyrocketing to "ebil arbitrator" level. There's some saying that comes to mind, though. I can't remember the whole thing at the moment. "When supply goes down..."
"...the tough get going?"
No wait, I think that has something to do with the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor.

Daily, i would see the SAME ladies and men walk in and buy a hundred dollars worth of lottery tickets, and rarely win anything back. And when they did, they immediately bought more tickets with it. At first this puzzled me. Why on earth would you waste hundreds of dollars on a very unlikely chance of ever regaining any of that cash?

Lottery is a tax on people that are bad at math. I have never bought a lottery ticket, once as a gag gift all my firends bought me a stack. I think I "won" 20 bucks on the 30 dollar investment.

Guess that means I can cancel my bid. Oh well. Some people just can't be saved from themselves.

So, you're saying i'm illogical because i'd rather be able to get drops than to buy them in WW?

Well, yeah. You have essentially built a financial plan contingent on winning the lottery, except that Posi gives better odds.
If your goal truly is to just log in and kill stuff, you should be using generic IOs, and you should have had them back at level 32 for the most part. Regular posters here know the Goat has advocated getting your cheap bids up for these things and walking away. Within a few logins you'll have what you need (I tend to just place cheap bids on the recipes and salvage, but it's the same principle; and especially villainside I'll lay in a pittance on a generic I'll need soon--I have yet to be disappointed).
You boasted a little while ago that you do okay in both PvE and PvP, so why the purples? It's your $15, you can continue to attempt to win the lottery, but after 2 years (IOs and the market have only been around 2 years and change) I'd think you'd have looked at your personal data and realized it's not going to happen.
Now if you're the type of person that thinks after 2 years of failure, you're "due," for goodness' sake stay away from slot machines. That's what got eryq1.

Quoted for truth. I worked once in a convenience store.

After a while, I realized, that some people simply have no concept of how probability works. This is also why people who get 2 7s on a slot machine and the third in the wrong row think "aha, I'm almost there!"
Its because they dont understand that chance is just that, chance. it owes you nothing, and expecting a payout from it is illogical and insane.. Anyone who's farmed items on a more traditional mmo like wow can tell you that. Just because an item has a 3% drop chance doesnt mean I'll get 3 for every hundred mobs I kill
