Are Server Transfers still free? If so, you could put the Inf on a temp character and Transfer it to save a Market fee.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
yeah, but only until the end of the month. but if he took 1 toon of each faction to the other servers with 2 bil on each he might be able to keep transfers going at no cost also. although he would only be able to hit up 6 servers? i think before the free transfers are done.

What if there was no need to transfer servers? Would you remove the 10% fee? I'd happily transfer a lowbie to and from you in order to trade.

So my new rates are: 10 gets you 9- Virtue and Freedom, both sides. 10 gets you 8- any other server for either side of the transaction. These rates are still symmetrical: you could give me a billion infamy and get 900 million influence, or give me a billion influence and get 900 million infamy. I am on all US servers- so I can take Champion infamy and give you Freedom influence, or take Pinnacle influence and give you Protector infamy, or whatever. Those are at "10 gets you 8" prices. The additional 10% fee for "any other server" transactions is not additional profit for me- it's a Went-fee, because I will probably have to move the influence or the infamy to the other server, through the market. (Worst case, I have to move my money THERE at a 10% fee, and your money BACK at a 10% fee, and I break even.) I'm @Boltcutter in game. |
Xanatos: If you show up on Virtue or Freedom with money, I don't care how you got there.
Sharker: Money inevitably ends up somewhere other than where it starts. Someone moves money on Infinity, someone moves money the other way on Pinnacle, someone gives Virtue influence and gets Champion infamy, and all of a sudden I still have servers with no money on one side or the other- even if I did have 12 billion influence and 12 billion infamy. The point of "home servers" is that MOST of my transactions will be either Freedom or Virtue, and if they aren't - you pay a small convenience charge.
I was doing this with my home servers being Infinity, Victory and Pinnacle but there's a lot more business on Freedom and Virtue. So for MOST people my rates will have gone down.

Hey Fulmens, people ever give you any grief for this? I'd been offering free transfers either way on Virtue for forever and the harassment I get just wasn't worth it. I don't volunteer my services any more--too much frustration. I don't need the money, I just help people move it...and somehow I'm the inconvenient jerk.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

That sucks, Dumple. There are few players I'd trust with large inf transfers. I pretty much would restrict it to folks whose names are long-time familiar on the forums. As such, I'd never give someone like you or Fulmens grief for providing a service like this. Sorry to hear you took heat for basically being a nice guy.

I assure you, speaking from vast amounts of experience in this field **touches his nose twice, winks once**, the harassment is a sign that you are doing a good job and that many people are very appreciative of your work. I found the harassment quite amusing and at many times was the highlight of my day. I found the best way to handle it was simply to keep asking the person questions trying to get them to explain their point. They vent their steam, you read some funny logic, and nobody gets hurt.

I think I did a trade with Fulmens a few months ago. Def trusted.

Second thing is, I generally tell people that they're likely to get a better deal somewhere else.
Third thing is, I have no problem walking away if people try to bargain or invent their own exchange rate or whatever. Lazy beats greedy for me, every time.
Fourth, I suppose, is that people are paying me for a service, not asking for a favor, and that might limit their feelings of entitlement somewhat. They're getting, say, 100 million worth of service on a billion-inf deal. They're not getting "all the service they deserve."
So yeah, your problem might be that you're NOT a jerk.

Transfered 2 Billion for 1.8 Billion using the Bank of Fulmens. Went off without a hitch. Will be using his services again. A++

10 gets you 9- Virtue and Freedom, both sides.

I am on all US servers- so I can take Champion infamy and give you Freedom influence, or take Pinnacle influence and give you Protector infamy, or whatever. Those are at "10 gets you 8" prices.
