I just want to make the observation that while people who hate the market have occasionally changed their mind and decided that the market is fun (or at least useful), I don't remember anyone ever going the other way and suddenly decide that the market is evil and immoral after having enjoyed playing it.

Well i find having certain IO sets makes playing certain characters more fun, so even in video games you often do unfun things to further your eventual fun. :P|

I flip numinas. It isn't fun, I never use them, just flip them for cash. Since I don't build billion-Inf characters, i never need these particular high demand recipes. It tastes bad but I do it for the Inf so i can buy Thunderstrikes and Crushing Impacts for my doezens of alts

Considering that I'm planning to outfit my WP/DB tank almost entirely in purple and PvP IO sets (she already has the Numina and Miracle sets), I'd better danged well be having fun with playing the market, or I'd be in for a hell of a time!

That is, on villain side anyway. Whoever is dumping uncommon salvage by the bucketloads on blue side and driving down the price, just stop! lol
