Yes, and the OP is offended that people have the nerve to sell things for less than he thinks is appropriate.

Couldn't he just send them a /tell, and buy them for a higher price via the Trade window?

Heehee! Appropriate!

Breathing is repeatable.

My brain starts to stutter when someone suggests removing vendoring. Not, however, because of removing an alternate path of disposing of loot. It's because I wouldn't know what to post it for.

Crafting level 50 commons ... is.
  • 40-50 salvage is so common it can be bought.
  • The discount for memorising means the enhancements can be sold.
Save it! The above means I'm blithering mad, yes? However, I'm unique in my madness.

In particular I'll address the most used component of the atmosphere, its 20.946% oxygen.

Living in an atmosphere composed of 20.946% oxygen is not very clever. At the rate you’re breathing (only accounting for the time and energy you actually spend inhaling and exhaling) you’d be far far better off breathing concentrated bottled oxygen than this mix of mostly inert gases you have to inhale about 600 million times in a lifetime.

What you’re doing is a relative waste of your time. You'll find animals who can hold their breath for a very long time and animals with slower metabolisms who breathe hundreds of thousands of times fewer than you do -- if you had a lower metabolism or breathed a mixture much richer in oxygen, you could be getting a much better return on your investment of time.

PS. If your intention is to breathe the air everyone else is breathing and keep a reasonable metabolism, to drive other life forms out of the environment so you can then raise the oxygen content and have the whole planet then you can forget it, because I’m not going anywhere (and I very much doubt I’m the only aerobic life form on Earth). I’m going to keep metabolizing atmospheric oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and other gases, forcing you to grind away with your lungs and diaphragm trying to compete for the same resources. You want to work at this like it's a real job? Be my guest. It's your time to waste. When I'm not inhaling, I'll be the one exhaling and making your rate of respiration look pathetic.

Truly awesome! Hehehehe....

I'm still waiting for the OP to realise that anyone with that recipe memorised is making profit on any sale that goes through for 240,001+ inf.

Sounds like those ebil, ebil people with crafting badges are trying to price people out of the market!

The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Drat, my ebil plans have been discovered.

I actually deleated a lot of the ones I made for the badges, because they didn't even sell for 1 Inf
