Hehe. Marketing as an excuse for altitis! WOOHOO!

Three measly minutes. *PBBBBT!*

No, you were reading mine. I was just more verbose about it than you were.

SO NYAH!

LOL! The VERY first link in reference to _igyv.dll on Google links right back to this thread!

The everyflv is some sort of Browser Helper Object (BHO) for playing or possibly recording flv video streams (like YouTube).

Ideally HJT should be run on a freshly booted system or one where all the other apps have been closed down (including web browser windows, etc).

By choice. Not enforced.

Even so, simply because people in other venues on other services use real identities, it doesn't mean that it's applicable here.

That you know of.

And you're full of ****.

Do yourself a bit of a favor and do a little research on how stalkers and rapists acquire their victim's profiles. Then come talk to me about your statistics.
Never mind that it was pitifully easy to anonymize pertinent details about your personal identity on Usenet. I only ran for 5 years where the only legitimate thing other Usenet users could get about me was the originating network of the machine I was remoted into.

So tell me again about how much of a panopticon it was. I need a laugh.

Your argument is that, simply because someone has the technical means to compromise your anonymity, so it doesn't exist at all is as childishly simplistic as it is wrong.

My personal data is just that. MY personal data. I choose what, where and with whom I share it. I also place conditions on how those parties may use and disseminate that data. At NO point have (or will) I give consent to make this data generally, publicly available to any Tom, Dick or Jack Emmert who simply browses a community website.

If they violate these requirements, bad things begin to happen to them.

Now Blizzard wasn't going to get any money out of me anyhow. But this pretty much guarantees they never see a cent from me EVER.

If your valuation of your own privacy is less than mine, that's your problem. You'll eventually learn the error of your ways. You better hope the lesson isn't TOO expensive though.

Or you could, you know, place a lower bid on the market and wait for it.

Remember, the high "buy it nao" prices you see for this stuff are a tax on impatience and stupidity.

So, no.

And no, it would NOT keep prices down. It'd lead to HOARDING, meaning stuff would get more scarce on the market. Prices would RISE.

If you don't want to wait, and don't want to pay the "buy it nao" price, then go build up a supply of AE tickets and spec-buy your salvage.

Also, make and model of your screen.

While I can understand your point, the curmudgeon in me fails to recognize "Are you sure? Are you really sure? Are you REALLYREALLY extra-mega-super-special sure?" as "security". Mainly due to eventual user acclimation/conditioning to auto-click YES.

This was tried with web browsers back in the mid-90's and failed miserably.

Additionally, TECHNICALLY, your "solution" DOES compromise system security by creating a directory for things that essentially end-run UAC.

So do we refer to you as "Dewey" (duodecimal)?

Why are you posting here Psychoti? Don't you have some new rude tells to be digging out of some random idiot in-game?

GET BACK TO WORK! The Rude Tells thread needs some sprucing up!

No. Basically, once you surpass your REAL 48 month anniversary (of paid time), you'll begin accruing vet awards on that toon again normally.

Bah. One night will stack at least a FEW levels onto you. And it shouldn't be THAT problematic.

There were a couple attempts to fix automatic awarding of vet awards a while back. It actually triggered vet awards for individual toons on some people's accounts. After a while they just stopped and rather than go back and try to clean up all the affected toons, they just allowed the players to keep the awards.

I have a mastermind from one of the first attempts who's a 45 month vet right now. Nobody else on my account, just him.

It's nothing to worry about and nobody's going to ban/kill your account because of it. You simply won't accrue more vet awards on the affected toons until you surpass the vet awards already in place.

This is likely because CoX is NOT a DirectX game. It uses OpenGL.

No. AE did NOTHING.

What you SAW was what a lazy, stupid player can do to a team.

Nothing more.

Next time pick a better team.

So you're not alone. BFD. People who think they can get away with not paying taxes aren't alone. Doesn't mean they're any less wrong.

People who believe that the moon landing was filmed on a soundstage aren't alone. But they're wrong.

There are people out there who think the Holocaust never happened. STILL WRONG!

There are people out there who think all non-muslims need to be killed and/or converted "by sword" (and not necessarily in that order). You gonna tell me they're right?

What you're attempting to foist off on us is simply an argumentum ad populum.

NO.

People will PL regardless of where.

People who PL to the exclusion of all else will suck at the game.

Screwing over legitimate users simply because some ********* can't be bothered to explore the world is a stupid, childish response.

Douchebags who can't be bothered to explore the world ARE NOT THE DEVS' PROBLEM!

Get over it. Next time pick a better team!

A bowdlerization of ******.

Okay.

Seeing as I didn't dig into the page code, no.

And it's utterly impossible to rip a video from YouTube.



I did have to ask though.

Anyhoo, good layout.

Dunno. In Internet Time, that's roughly 4 years. Now ask me about the specifics of a conversation I had 4 years ago.

You're not being paid to think though! The union is going to come down on you for that.

Considering the announcement of market merger is only about 2-1/2 weeks old, that'd be tough.

And even if you mentioned it early on in that time frame, I'd have missed it. I was AFK for a gaming con.

Which also equates to inf lost.

The drop rate IS "normal". Simply because you aren't getting the drops you want is not evidence to the contrary.

Anything that can get you perma-booted from the game. That's it.

And even if there WAS something the devs were looking for, do you HONESTLY expect a dev to tell you how to circumvent it?

REALLY?

This is part of your problem. Several of the most popular "farm" missions were nerfed a while back.

Random number generator is RANDOM. I haven't had a purple drop in over a year. Then, last night during Fire/Rads, on my non-50 Fire/Rad running radios, BOOM, "Armageddon Proc".

BOLLOCKS!

They have control over drop rates with coarse control from percentages of chance that stuff will drop.

From my understanding, they have finer control to modify those percentages in individual missions.

And they have medium control over salvage drops by determining what types of salvage get dropped per enemy group/type.

Since you don't have access to the underlying game code, you can't "prove" a damn thing. You can simply make the observation that your drops aren't as profitable for you as they were a few months ago.

Operative word. LUCK.

Also expressed as "RANDOM means RANDOM".

If you need dependable influence generation, you cannot rely on the RNG for good drops. That's like trying to finance a "lifestyles of the rich and stupidly wasteful" lifestyle by going to Vegas every month with $100 and trying to strike it rich every time on penny slots.

Marketing is one way to bring in more dependable cash flow. A level 50, with a moderate level of marketing, can generate roughly a billion from the market in a week.

Another is merit generation. Build up a cachet of merits, then attack the random roll generator. While YES, it is still random, an you'll still wind up with crap occasionally, generating a few billion a month isn't exactly hard at all.

Another thing. You are NOT entitled to inf. You have to earn/generate it on your own. Simply demanding that purples be dropped for you doesn't make it happen.



Correlation == Causation

And, again, so that the point may eventually drive home.

RANDOM means RANDOM.

In other words, you just happened to get a lucky set of drops. It happens.

Trying to assign nefarious "keep 'em hooked" motives to Paragon over this is Just Plain Dumb.


In short. NO.

The random number generator. Sacrifice a young virgin to the randomness gods. Maybe it'll make a difference. *Rolls dice* Or maybe it won't!

The short answer. No. It won't make a difference.

The long, snarky answer. Yeah. Stop playing. Give me all your stuff.

Translation: Deny my skewed perception of reality and I shall place my hands atop my ears and chant the magical incantation for ignorance, "LALALALALALALALA" so that I may avoid reality.

And if you insist on remaining ignorant on this, and insisting that the devs "have it in for you" and are magically tweaking your drop rates on the fly, you're delusional. And I don't have time for delusional people. Nor does anyone else here. So, if you insist on that, please, PLEASE move on to another game.

One thing. Have you gotten permission from the video makers?
Or are these links back to the original videos on YouTube?
