Of Respecs and IO Sets...One possibility

First few I came across I "fought". Now just the mention of it makes me skip the thread entirely (unless I become bored and have read all the unread stuff I was interested in). 
I do think people need to be told "No" in dead horse threads rather than just ignored, though. But there's enough around who will that I don't need to bother.
Dec out.

If we were able to remove the low level IO's to replace them with high level IO's most people would keep those low IO's handy for their next character to use, rather than sell them. THAT's hoarding.
This removes the need for the user to purchase more, meaning less INF destroyed, prices plummet because of over supply. We are still generating these, but everyone has a few sets hoarded for their low characters so don't need to buy them.

Boredom is usually what gets me to post in most of the dead horse topics too. I read and participate in these threads for pure entertainment value.

I mean, all of yall should be smart enough to realize that if people don't post in these thread then they will go away. Then again, yall are stupid enough to think complaining about the threads does any good, so maybe everyone is too stupid and idiotic to actually ignore these threads.

Truth that is key to improving the suggestions board.

First, respecs aside is a funny thing to say since it's pretty much the core of the question.
Second, hoarding and using are both supply issues. If some can't understand this, then it's obvious you are speaking a whole other language. It's like trying to rebut my statements about C# development by arguing that voice coaches are expensive. Words mean many things. But most arguments Internet and otherwise get dominated by petty pedantry because people would rather pretend that using a dictionary made them win, rather than thinking about the purposes and ideas behind others' points of view.
Third, the suggestion here would lead to mass hoarding, but not in the way some said. It would make much easier to use slots to hoard. Bases would not even be necessary. Coming back to this a week later, I thought this was that topic about getting 20 instead of 10 after a respec. Oops, wrong topic! Regardless, my initial involvement was simply to rebut a market statement:

| Horsepuckey. What will really happen is that players will use respecs to rip out their current IO's and email them to a mule character which will store them in base storage. This will in turn make desirable IO's harder to find on the market because everyone will be hoarding them, and their absence will cause market prices to become even more inflated. |
At the time that I first posted here, there were numerous statements going around misidentifying IO-locking as an inf sink. It's instead supply sink, and those who are saying that the suggestion posted here would drop mid level prices are correct.
From this simple rebuttal to a market assertion, I got Project reading between the lines for what I'm actually thinking about, incorrectly (I never even considered that), and LISAR's assessment of Bill's post's appropriateness to high school English classes. Internet arguments FTW!

Anyway, I've got some HOs sitting in my sprint powers I have to go sell.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
Also, person I'm quoting, this wasn't directed at you specifically. It was directed at anybody that comes to these dead horse topics and complains. Honestly it makes me wonder if the internet is 90% six year girls.
