Ouch, zero style points! 
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.

So for the last month I decided to lazily try and make my first 2 Billion. I'm usually pretty bad about spending influence as fast as I make it, but two things happened - 1 I finally finished two builds - a Bots/Traps MM and a Stone/Axe Tank, but I knew I still wanted to play them to be incarnates. So I figured I'd use those two as "banks" for my alts - I would get a character to 50 and then seed those new 50's with 100 million to make their money and then play them to be incarnates as well, so the alts would "pay back" the loan with interest. Well, this really only worked for one alt because I got obsessed with her - a SS/WP brute. I got her to 50, and had about began to IO her out. Her build isn't finished, but I managed to make smart buying choices and yo-yo'd between 50 million and 250 million bidding on things that I wanted and sellling things that I didn't want (and selling stuff that I gained by grabbing Hero Merits). Well, I finally got the build to where I thought it was great (but not finished) two weeks ago and began to focus on just earning money. In 1 week, I made 1 billion on her, and then "paid back" the loan to my bots/traps MM, bringing me up to 2 billion on one character for the first time. That felt kind of good.
Now I know I'm not the best person to play the market - I somehow have patience enough to be a teacher, but not enough to play the market - but I can do enough to break even most of the time. And when you play TF's and the like you're likely to get great recipes to either drop, or you can get them in a more deterministic way by converting merits into hero merits. The process has been fun. Especially since I don't really like doing AE (although I do sometimes use it to get salvage).
Anyway, this was fun.
