  1. Is this league still going?

    >.>
  2. Fulmens,

    Is your prestiege doubling offer still open? On Infinity?

  3. I still don't get the "need" for sub-50 anything. I also don't understand why it's on me (the general me) to list crap that has no bids.

    Didn't you know all the problems are my fault?

    I hoard crafted IOs, PvP, play the market, power level, speed run, and play the game the way I want to.
  5. <QR>

    From conversations I had at PAX (paraphrased, not direct quotes):

    - The team would be highly reluctant to seed the lvl 51-53 stuff to kill hoarding. (I suggested it as a joke, the reply was akin to "No, people would quit the game.")

    - Posi told me to list my stored items and save the market, this reminded me of the cartel problem, it would work (to what degree is debatable) if everyone did it, if I'm the only one who does I lose out, if I'm the only one who "cheats" and hoards I have an "unfair" advantage.

    My beliefs:

    - The devs will approach this with the best of intentions, but not necessarily the best of results. Personally I use the market to kit out my toons, making inf and gathering sets I commonly use along the way. I'd love to kit all my toons out faster but realize patience is key to success. I'd resent any sort of socialistic controls and hope this is not where this is headed.

    - The best way to solve this is to tweak the drop rate and SLIGHTLY increase it for desirables (purples, PvP IOs, a few C/D sets)

    - I don't think changing the inf or bid cap is a good idea. VERY few items sell for more than 2 billion and if that's an artifical ceiling the drop rate is too low. Conversely, lowering the bid cap would send more items off market.

    - I'm curious as to what incarnate "abilities" (Posi's term, neither he nor War Witch nor 8 would elaborate) are. This would likely add slots for existing IOs or new IO/IO like items which would no doubt affect the market.

    - Bind on Pickup/Equip works in games where people don't have 57 alts (number is a SWAG, but you get the idea) and where bind was in from the start, here it would bring more resentment than anything else.

    - The devs should get the opinions of the masses as to the pain points. They should run their draft solutions by some of the "ebils" for feedback on possible exploits/unintended consequences. This is not to build a perfect solution for the ebils (and I count myself as one, I make 10-20x flipping as I do playing) but one that's vetted by them. Otherwise you'll have more e-rage later on as the ebils break the bank in production again.

    I agree- we need more farm targets.
  7. This is both funny and a great idea. I still don't believe that a server is named Victory though.

    We tried cloning Psoma, but the clones were defective.
  13. Now what about Kat vs real Divine, as coached by Ditka?

    Da Bears!
  14. I nominate Psoma for the Ajax Memorial drama summary award (TM).
  15. Now I feel bad for going along with the joke. Doyler has never shown any evidence of being a fan of the Jonas Brothers on vent or dUmb channel.
  16. Frankly, I don't give a f*** about who quit what. We were assigned a "good PvP'r" and the other teams got their players. Now ours has an issue/identity crisis/whatever. This needs to be rectified, now.

    S*** like this is why dUmb is running it's own league. Whether this starts before or after the current BS league is over I'm not sure.

    The stuff you say is lolz-worthy at best, that better?
  18. Before Doyler, most of dUmb thought the Jonas brothers where some dudes related to that guy in the Bible who was swallowed by a whale.
  19. This league needs more lawyers and braggarts, good luck with season 2, teams that are staying.
