Marketeering feeling like work for the first time

For hours now I have been just logging in to one mule after another to supply the market with candy canes.
My goodness, how hungry the market is!
As soon as I get one shovel's worth in, and log to a different toon, it has eaten up all that I gave it.
I have adjusted my price point a few times in attempts to get a chance to freaking play the game!

I wish there was some way to auto list.
Sheesh!

And yeah, I have gotten new market slots and sales badges on my mules.

And, I am not exactly complaining.

I keep telling myself, "Every shift ends." If I can just get through these last 11,000 candy canes it'll all be over 'til next year.

The devs must've decided to let me take a lunch break, calling it 'server maintenance'

Most of my mules started w/ only 10 market slots. I have been selling thousands ~100 at a time.

Of course they have more slots now from market badges lol

My original evil plan was to corner the redside market entirely. Muwahahaha


But the Devs thwarted me by merging the markets cuz they hate villains.

11,000? That's one hell of a sweet tooth you have there...

After the market merger was announced, but before the merger happened, I move about a bil [iirc] blueside to cash in on the cheaper canes before they hit the main market.

I have finally sold all the canes from my blue mules.
Brought in 1.6bil & 40 lvl 10 Winter's Gift 20%s. I'll hang on to the WGs til the season is over and some double xp weekend or some such and unload them for 15-30mil a pop [I hope]

Redside I have cleared out 6 mules, but idk how much a started with and I haven't totaled it yet. and I still have thousands more I am selling as fast as profits will allow.

I finally feel truly ebil.

Are there any guides on how to handle inf over the cap?
If I try to claim inf that puts me over cap, do I get a warning? Does all the inf disappear? Do I get w/e takes me to cap and then the rest disappears? Or what?

inf. over cap cannot be claimed - email some to yourself or bid on some level 51-53 IOs.

I didnt think to buy canes before the market merge. I bought 6 or 7 600-800m pancea procs instead and sold them for 1.5-1.8b each after merge. Seemed the best thing to do.


I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

So nothing will happen except I won't be able to claim it? It'll still be available for when it won't put me over cap?

Currently I am reinvesting it, but it's coming in faster than it's going out atm.

My apologies to everyone who was unable to buy low priced candy canes or who had to pay higher prices for their candy canes.

I had to take a break and get some sleep. And I know that my supply sold out quickly after I logged off.

I have restocked, but sadly I have to go and have some fun outside with my family for several hours.

I promise I'll get back to work bringing you reasonably priced candy canes right away.

I know I made about 1 billion inf selling canes the first day. =) I had about 1k saved up from last time, and went clicking presents, getting more... That is pretty much all I did on Friday.



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Woot!

We're working retail for the holidays. lol

The sale will remain in the sold tab and be there until you claim it successfully. Just throw 500m-1b into email or into an impossible IO bid and claim your inf.

Each set of ten had a total price of 1.5 bil. I had just put something else up for 150mil and didn't reset my price window. I put up pretty much a full set of market slots @ 10 x 150mil.

Doing your little part to fight inflation by destroying influence through marketing fees!

In all seriousness, my sympathies on that one.

Just for that, I will peruse your comics.

Candy canes have a special place in my heart since it was one of the ways I got "rich" at first when the markets came out by just selling them from my present hunting for the Toy Collector badge.

I remember being so rich with my low level peacebringer (20M) by time I got Toy Collector.

Funny how things change.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I subbed during winter event and saved around 10-20 mil per new toon with candy funds.
After that, built up more infamy with marketing.
