Quote:Now onto the next major QOL hurdle. MERGING THE MARKETS!Originally Posted by Bionic_Flea
If nothing else it will allow inf. capped characters to send a bit to an alt so that they can claim their last sale without losing anything.
It's a nice little QOL addition. -

Quote:Usually with purple sets, you can skip the single-aspect IO and still be sitting at:Originally Posted by GATE-keeper
Level 50 Inv/SS tank. I currently have all my melee attacks six-slotted with Crushing Impact. I plan to begin gradually replacing the CI's with Hecatomb's. I'm wondering if it is feasible to only 5-slot them and am wondering which Hecatomb to skip?
59.62 Acc
89.92 Damage/Hold/Immob (Whatever the primary set type is)
33.13 EndRed
89.92 Recharge
Usually the extra damage ouput of slotting the single-aspect is offset by the damage output of the proc. Also, don't underestimate the utility of having an attack that's also doing a different damage type in addition to it's primary damage type. It makes you more versatile when coming against enemies susceptible to those damage types. -

HALLELUJAH!!!
Second off. A dumb question.
How EXACTLY does this interact with the spam-control methods released in previous issues? If you only take e-mails from friends but try to mail yourself inf...
Does this merely enrich the ether? Or are all your alts automatically considered friends? -

The market mechanics aren't set in stone; they could presumably be changed to make life more convenient for people who buy stuff to use and sell stuff to get rid of it.
For example. a restriction on reselling of goods that have already passed through the market or an interplayer trade would make being a marketer considerably more difficult. For clarity, I'm not saying I think that's a good idea; the ramifications are certainly not obvious. -

No problem. Not going to ask you to give away your niche(s).Quote:You will pardon me I keep that information for myself as I am still regretting making the comment that snowballed into the rare recipe project. Solace on that is that they seem to have a very good chance of getting it wrong.
The thing is, there's ALWAYS going to be someone who thinks the price is "too high" or doesn't like using the market. I'm really not sure what, if anything can be done to "solve" a problem that's essentially insoluble.Quote:What I have said repeatedly is that many people don't like using the market in the game, their viewpoint and desires are no more or less valid than the people that do like using the market.
It still all comes down the the problem being impatient buyers and their perception of "need".Quote:Because the market is the fastest way to equip a character it creates a perception of need that it has to be used. Because this is a social game and there is a certain amount of requirement to keep up with the joneses that perception of need has a measure of reality.
I can't control what other people think (though things would be a damn sight easier for me if I could).
And, the minute you have a difference of opinion, someone is eventually going to be dissatisfied (and blame the other person). -

Your dismay over a system that does precisely the job it was designed for and which already has several 'failsafe' sources of alternative supply would be comical were it not so pathetic.

Quote:Interesting.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Basically Gamemaster layed out how you can cause a surge in prices for something that you can soak up enough of the supply on. The surge generally causes an increase in supply in response, as people who were not selling the good now start doing so.
In essence, creating a *blip* on the market for a short term increase in the price. I acknowledge that this can happen. What I'm saying is such manipulations, on a long-term basis, are not effective in increasing the price floor.Quote:This causes the surge to be self-defeating on a time scale that's dependent on how infrequently whatever it is drops (or how many merits or average tickets it takes to create it).
Too bad. Would have been an interesting read.Quote:I might have saved it somewhere. Edit: I guess not, and I can't find it on the forums, as suspected. That makes me sad, because it was a great write-up. -
I know this is you (and not you reposting an image someone else put up) how? It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust ANYONE. Especially that goofy looking bastich in the mirror (he freaks me out).
In your supposed time flipping salvage did your set your pricing at 2 million a pop or did you set it lower and have players bid it up that high? And, if the former, are you aware that your behavior is NOT the norm for marketeering?
And how, if I am wrong about you SPECIFICALLY, does this invalidate the notion that marketeers aren't responsible because people are stupid and impatient in their market use, and thus wind up paying more? -

Another question is whats the name of the email program win 7 uses and where can i find a link for it?
Windows Mail in 7 is really little more than a Hotmail interface now.
If you're looking for a stand-alone mail client, I'd recommend something like Mozilla Thunderbird. -

Why are you the only person who replied that failed to understand what was said ?
Then prove me wrong. PLEASE!Quote:You keep saying that as if it were so.
Why not simply quote or link to the pertinent posts?Quote:Search the threads for a post by gamemaster ? He details the technique for creating a wave. It was a very nice outline of the technique. Perhaps after reading it you might chose to examine your assumptions, or the fact that you seem to be blindly repeating things you have heard without actually thinking about them.
Why should I do your work for you? -

Expectation is the key here. If you went to a restaurant and weren't served in a timely fashion, I doubt you would react well to the argument you were acting overly entitled.
Restaurant: STORE
WW/BM: NOT A STORE
Your being incapable of intelligently using the market in no way prevents you from playing the game.Quote:And before we go to the argument that the market is not a restaurant true but this is not advertised as a market game but a superhero game.
You might be on to something were it not for the fact that THE SELLER DOESN'T SET THE SALE PRICE.Quote:Back to the flipper, in general they try to hit the maximum price point where they can achieve total sell through in their time horizon. -
Quote:As you've displayed no expanded understanding of the way the market works and have had multiple people who thoroughly understand the way it works explaining it to you, I can only conclude you have some personal issue holding you back.Originally Posted by Another_Fan
Arguing hard ?
It is kind of sad though, that you think no one would argue for something if it wasn't a direct personal issue of theirs
Nah. I get skewed, inappropriate humor.Quote:And you fail to understand why I find this forum so incredibly funny ?
You apparently only got here shortly before i13 and the market changes brought on by merits. Some of these people have been utilizing the market this way since the market debuted (i9, May 2007).Quote:You have people that come here to play a fantasy/superhero game. They get here and find the bottleneck to playing the game is a poorly implemented trading game that sits on top of it.
Then as a cherry on the cake you have people who enjoy the market game, and actually require people to come into and do badly at it, boldly asserting that its the only way to do things.
They're doing no more and no less than you do when you buy or sell on the market. The only difference is that the marketeers are PATIENT. Again, you fail to see the differentiation between a MARKET and a STORE. -

Quote:You are not "everyone". So please don't presume to speak for them. All you're doing is impression your own personal bias on them.Originally Posted by eryq2
Just because the marketeers are happy, don't mean everyone is either.
Sorry, but you don't get to define what's "fair" either.Quote:Most of the player base don't even post in here so to get a fair shake is pretty obviously not going to happen.
No, we're not hypocrites. And we have exactly zero say in how the market operates. We merely play by the rules in place.Quote:It's scary for you to think about a change to the market system and making YOU play a certain way but when people have to deal with the way WW functions now that don't like it, that's ok with you. All you can say is don't IO toons or don't use WW. Hypocrits.
Again, depends on how much "more" is. Small changes to up the drops would barely be noticeable as the current market is essentially devouring them as soon as they become available.Quote:I don't know how much more to say a number, but more drops would be better for anyone trying to IO toons.
A larger change, one that would be noticeable, would likely destroy any challenge in the PVE game whatsoever.
Bull. And you know it. So yeah. PL to 50 in a couple weeks. Another week or two to completely IO out the toon, then...what?Quote:The only people it would hurt are the flippers, and manipulators.
Sure, the PVPers can play like that happily. But you're less than 1% of the population. What about all the people who have no desire to PVP? The term you're looking for at that point is BOREDOM.
What part of "random means random" is so thoroughly difficult to comprehend?Quote:I do know when i run a farm solo and only get 3 recipes other than commons, that seems low considering all the mobs i run thru.
The game is supposed to be a time sink. If you go all "monty haul" with it, people play for a little then leave.Quote:You think too many would hurt the game, but so does too little. It discourages alot of people from even messing with it. That hurts the system too. -
Quote:Unfortunately they are still manufacturing such dirty college radicals nowadays too. Some are, unfortunately, the spawn of the former. So the stupidity has been getting preached to them from birth.Originally Posted by Nethergoat

Quote:Bull. You wouldn't be arguing so hard if it weren't personal.Originally Posted by Another_Fan
My personal fun isn't the issue.
And I can't do anything for those people other than try to educate them as to why the market is the way it is. If they don't want to hear it and insist that things should be the way THEY want them to be. Well, I'll just sit back and and have a nice deep belly laugh at their expense.Quote:What repeatedly happens is that people rightly or wrongly perceive the market as being an impediment.
That's because you aren't paying attention. I recommend Remedial Rhetoric 101. That and maybe some meds to calm you down.Quote:you have as yet to use either -
