Crashing the Gate

A long time coming, but thanks to purple inflation and the announcement of the difficulty changes the Goat finally cracked the billion mark by not buying anything for a while.

Prices are falling and I may not be able to restrain myself much longer, so I figured I'd commemorate his moment in the sun in the traditional way. He couldn't get to DA, so I went for the next best thing. =P

Gratz and I like how goat-like you got your character to look.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Gratz! You really do look like your namesake, too. Nicely done.

(And all this while, with your many helpful posts, I had thought you had already done it!)

Stylish! Gratz and Kudos, Goat!

And was it the Ninth Gate?

I have a bad spending problem that manifests in shopping binges any time I get near the 600 million mark. The stars aligned just right for this to happen- MA farming drove the price of purples through the ceiling right as I was getting ready to slot a couple of sets and the devs announced that I16 would let us set our own spawn sizes.

I did the math (counting on my claws and hooves) and opted to wait for the inevitable price drop once the farmers returned to their homeland in PI.

Logging in a few times a week to tend his flipping made the inf pile up fast- a lot faster than I thought it would. I actually have two other billionaires right now- I should take their pictures for posterity, it'll probably never happen again.

That's not tea he's drinking. It's cup-o-musk.

Grats, Nethergoat!

In all honesty, I'm a bit shocked you aren't a charter member of Club Ebil.

Yep, money's no good unless you can spend it on something. Nice job, Nethergoat!

I wish I could see how much my warshade has made the past few months because I know I have spent billions.

I rather enjoyed just buying that LotG: +Recharge I wanted for 125 million just because I could. And I knew it would enrage the market haters.

I think I will buy another one at lunch so get your cups ready for the tears (not mine) lamenting the evil sellers who force me to pay such outrageous amounts.

true market tale:

I wanted a low level Celerity +stealth for my plant/fire dom (low level because he's low level, not because I really like paying a premium). Looked around, none for sale anywhere. Put out a bunch of bids around 20 million.

It took a while, but one finally came through. I happily crafted and slotted it and went about my business.

Logged him in about a week later and had ANOTHER one because I forgot to cancel my bids. Remembering my admonition that anything with 0 for sale is underpriced, I re-listed it for 50 million.

Checked back a few days later, it sold for 51.

So, if you get a low level Celerity from somewhere, list it for more than 50 mil. =P

Grats Goat.

At least I beat you there. I too have the general habit of spending as fast as I earn.

..and then use that 50 mil to buy 10 of the +stealth from the Jump set to slot in sprint.
