Perhaps (re drasticaly inflated opinion). Or you vastly under rate how many lurkers use marketing posts for information, or how that information is dasiy chained along.

I spent a lot of time and energy in here blowing the horn for Dark Astoria, back in the early days of the market when "everything" was too expensive and "only 50's" could afford anything.
Farming DA and selling drops could make anyone rich.
The thread went on and on, and eventually I convinced all but the most cement-headed reprobates that it worked.
The result?
DA was still empty every time I went there.
I did turn on quite a few people to the joys of blowing up zombies, but the number wasn't even a drop in the ocean of the larger game world.
I'll agree that with things that are super simple with zero entry requirements there can be a snowball effect. Meow farms, fer instance.
But for anything with higher requirements, the #'s won't be meaningful.

But street sweeping DA is hard work when there is much easier ways to collect the INF raining down. 
I think PVP io farming is close to a case of zero hard work, with the needing two accounts being the harder entry requirment.
That said, if you had two accounts, and saw the threads listing the huge inf they generate with PvP farming, you'd try it.
The 1200 odd views this topic has had, your right about it not being on radar in terms of greater game though.
I agree with you though, that most market posts make very little impact.
That the flipping of generic IOs still is profitable despite the many times its been outed as a steady money maker shows to me not too much notice is taken.
In short, I think you are probably right.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Yah, the core market regs have 'outed' so many ways to print your own inf over they last couple years there's no reason any of them should still work...but they do.

yes i use pvp i.o's and yes they arent dropping now..and yes the devs are sure not worried about it.
im sure their too busy taking days off..(most likely their off today im betting) and going to movies and planning on field trips to cons to worry about their screw ups at work.
priorities ya know..
Hey now, I'm not all excited about the problems either but I won't begrudge them some time off for a national holiday. I have to work on days like these so to me it seems a little unfair, but I'm glad other folks don't have to.
It will get fixed, I will gnash my teeth until it does but everyone it entitles to some time off.
So I bought a total of 40 pvp recipes when i first read about the bug for a billion infamy. I've sold back 17 of them and have broke even now.
I have 23 pvp recipes left to sell and I suspect this won't be fixed for at least another week. Everyone go buy pvp recipes this weekend ... daddy needs a new pair of shoes!

Today is the national observance of the holiday, which falls on a weekend and would not otherwise give a weekday off.
For regular 9-5, 40 hour week types, that means they get today off.
I work for a bank, and it was not open. Neither were government offices.

Besides because today was the day of national observance since the holiday actually fell on a weekend?

It's times like this when you have to take a deep breath, count to 10 and repeat after me: "It's only a game. It's only a game. It's only a game." Ahhhh....doesn't that feel better?
Back on topic, I sold my jackpot for 600m but most of my other ones haven't sold yet, even tho they're priced comparable to all the others on the market. Not sure how other people are moving so many, and at a profit.

No worries, it'll be fixed by ish 16. If not then, then by Rogue without a doubt. 
Hmm, figured something like this would have been fixed by now.

I heard that the devs will start working on holidays once everyone starts using proper English in the forums. I guess it is all your fault.

fixed in arena?

# Fixed PvP rewards to function once again. Now, influence, inspirations, and other normal rewards occur on every PvP kill, while PvP IO recipes can only be rewarded on rep-valid kills.
# Fixed rep-validation to function in arenas, even though it doesn't give you any reputation in arenas.

Drastic cut back on the rate of dual box farming.
I would expect this to go live fairly fast, maybe even tomorrow to keep the decks clear, its all bug fixes.

Been on Champion redside most of the past 3 months, but 3+ years before that was primarily hero-side Freedom with a bit of Virtue and Justice thrown in. Basically, wherever TopDoc makes a superteam, and wherever Repeat Offenders play will be my primary spots, but I'm a mostly solo-focused villain right now, so I'm on Champion with my stalkers and brutes for most of my evil ebilness.
