Come all ye haters

I don't play the market, but I don't really get the market hate. I know I couldmake tens of millions a day doing whatever, but I don't want to. It feels like a job, and that's not what I play this game for. I get my money, buy what I want if I can afford it at whatever price I need to to get it then, unless it's just ridiculous. I'm not bothered by not having an ultra-purple with Numina's and LotGs everywhere. It'd be nice, and one of my characters did get drop-lucky enough, but it's not nearly worth it for me.

By the time my characters hit 50, I've usually got enough to buy them nice effective sets. Not the best, but probably 80% of performance at the cost of one decent purple recipe.

Sometimes the high prices of things bug me, but not so much I'm going to complain about it. If people really want that one recipe that much, fine. I lose nothing, I probably wasn't going to ever see one drop naturally, so not gettin one artifically is the same deal. The only things that get to me are salvage shenanigans, because it's an embuggerance to spend so much time buying recipes only to not be able to craft them. I'd like to be able to buy specific ocmmon salvage with tickets.

My god.

They bought inf to convert to prestige to create their SG base?

And you think these people are good indicators of anything?

These people are indescribable morons. Like to the extent that we need to make sure they don't breed, to save the gene pool from them.

Mathematically, it's not bad. The thing is, having to do it is a nuisance. Time wasted trying to get X pieces of Y and Z is less time I can spend actually having fun. I don't think specific-purchase common salvage would have any real impact on the market other than making price gouging less effective. There'd be less incidental salvage sold, but when you have the capacity to take any specific salvage you want, there's no real impact to that change.

? as it has become easier for regular players to earn inf, the same thing is true for RMTers. What you are seeing is that inf is no longer worth what it was. A purple that used to cost 35 million is now going for 350 million, inf that used to go for 15cents/million now goes for 1.5 cents/million

Your premise may indeed be correct, but your anecdote isn't really evidence.

Edit: Lack of email may have something to do with the new ability to turn it off.
