    This post is the wisest, most succinct and concise post I've ever read on these forums.



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Only if we define wise as self important and succinct and concise as meandering and elaborate.

    Also rub a little harder, I think you missed a spot back there.

    Rejected!!!

    everybody knows that all casual players need to purple their warshade.

    Jeez.
  3. Analogy fail.
    It is nothing like royalty.

    There is no break in continuity with each new issue.

    The monarch doesn't die, he just learns a new trick or two and, if we're lucky, gets a wardrobe change.

    If they launched a whole new game called CoH II, then 'the king is dead, long live the king' would fit.

    But "The king got a new TF and some cool hats!" doesn't really work.

    How are they messed up? Patch notes on the EU boards says that new sounds in these areas are intentionally updated.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    They may be by design, but I dislike them myself. I'll be planning to try and preseve the old sounds.

    Frankly, it irritates me when they "improve" cosmetic things like this after years and years.

    any time someone "improves" a sound by making it more obtrusive they should get smacked with a ruler.

    10? You people are crazy.

    I think I'm being risky if I craft TWO of the same thing.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't do a ton of crafting-for-profit, but I'm with Ful here.
    I learned a hard lesson about being VERY CAREFUL with your stock levels, the kind that sticks with you.
  6. Nice!
    Fate rewarded you for giving PvP another try. =D

    So rough for you to continue to play a game, in which you just know the devs are on a COMPLETELY different page than you are, while they continue to work diligently to improve the game for the silly 2% who you clearly hold in such contempt. That's got to be frustrating to you. You must wonder whether there's a kindred-spirit game developer out there for you somewhere.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    they're right here, we've got them now.
    the game currently appeals to farmers, RPers, storyphiles, badge hunters, you name it.

    When something breaks the boundaries of their acceptable reward payoff they change it. Other than that, they leave people be.

    And that's the way it should be.
    Cash is agnostic. It spends the same whether the fifteen bucks comes from farmers or RPers- and the devs know this better than anyone.
  8. MA minus comparable rewards to 'real' content would be a an extreme niche activity, like PvP.

    "creativity" means nothing to me in CoH, except as it relates to my costume designs and character bios. I'm looking for fun, engaging gameplay, not an outlet for my inner Proust.

    I decided to get into setting out my only 50, and shortly after slotting with mostly oranges I decided to play the market game. And I gotta say. This is much harder to get screwed over than I figured. As long as you always remember to undercut, don't get greedy, and sometimes the buyer will give you the going price or even more!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    A handy bit of wisdom from my professional life has also served me well in the market-

    you make your money when you buy, not when you sell.

    translation- get something cheap enough and the rest takes care of itself.

    Great thread, with one major drawback.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I would pay for a lifetime subscription to this thread.

    I know everyone agrees with me.

    HAWR!

  11. my baby brute has been flipping level 50 flight mods, buy around 100k sell around 300k.

    Lower profit, but even less work.

    Did not know that!

    Bwaaaah.

    At heart, all of you agree with me.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You should use your amazing mental powers to become rich and powerful so you can buy NCSoft and play the game FREE forever!

    just because you have a thick skin is no excuse to treat others like idiots.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Indeed.
    Idiocy, however, is.

    I don't advocate gratuitous meanness.
    But internet forums are not a congenial environment for those who can't process the derision generated by their bad ideas and lame posts.

    Thanks

    guess it's time to check in on my guy who got stuck with a tray full of Essence stacks when MA crashed the market!

    =D

    it turned into a "don't have ANY dreams kid, 'cause the kewl people will think you're stupid" situation.

    If you're so weak someone saying "no" to your post causes you to burst into tears, the internet is the wrong place to be.

    That's like running into a burning house after taking a shower in gasoline.

    And that is the fact that you can't buy it. This game is great, dynamic battles, good graphics, vast area, billions of options, but it lacks the opportunity to buy it permanently.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Darn, then I guess it's back to playing Barbie's Internet Dream House for you!

    what do you mean "lately"?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Lately in like ever since MA came out.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    the game's been drowning in fire/kins for years now.
    half the population of any given Wentworth's is liable to be fire/kins and it's been that way for a long time.
  19. what, another billionaire!?!

    Gratz!


    I didn't check in because I'd already given this one the GOAT HOOF of approval.

    I just hate trying to build up my nest egg and seeing profit going *poof* because the game needs a money sink

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I've literally never noticed the listing fee.

    Ok wait, not quite true- one time I accidentally listed something for 150 million instead of 1.5, and growled at it.

    But when I'm selling stuff or flipping stuff, it's not enough of a bite to pay any attention to.
