I emptied my VG's bins recently, which involved taking a pile of unused IOs that had sat fallow for months, and putting them on the market for the lowest price I could bear. We're not generally talking real dog sets here, at least as far as I can see. End mod sets, knockback sets, sleep procs, debuff sets. Stuff like that. You know? Nothing platinum, nothing I was going to charge much for. For the most part, the prices range from 250k to 1-2m (in some rare instances where the salvage to make them would have cost that much). And what I'm finding is... Even if you're trying to sell stuff cheap, the Great Chain Of The Market turns you into an ebil monster marketeer flipper dupe hacker. I have at this point, hundreds of millions of inf when all I asked for was maybe a million or two, and not all of it's sold. The only possible explanation I could work out is that people are paying what they want to pay, and therefore have their own reasons for spending what they did, or I am somehow an ebil genius who is mind-controlling the populace into over-bidding on property I posted for cheap from a dozen alts just to drive up the price or something. So I demand to know: Which of you monsters made me into an ebil person? What horrorshow is this, where I have a lot of money in my pocket that has been put there clearly by the works of the machinations of bad people being immoral and jacking up the prices? What am I to do? And can I use these powers to get better shows on TV? |

We need more transaction slots!^Y
You can't determine a base inf for a crafted IO without flipping all the items involved!^Y
[strikethrough]We'd really like a strikethrough code sometimes![/strikethrough]
Bets are on hold until I17 goes open beta; no mention yet of more history. (Or some kind of purpose-defeating auto-creeper. Maybe the near-500ms delay in cancelling a bid will go away?)

To return from the ebil path, you need to buy common slavage and relist it for 15 inf.
Try not to make a profit this time.
*straight face*
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 ):

Of the two, the second explanation certainly seems more likely. <nod nod>

You are not ebil. The tide raises all boats.
