Schnickusaurus is a parasite

[luciusslayer]

Is there anyway we can get this guy kicked off our server, it would be a million times better without them. I'm sure many people would agree here

[Pyrion]

More details please.

[Mojo24]

I happen to disagree. I see him on the EC tunnel thread a lot selling decent items.

Sounds like you are butt hurt because you're poor and couldn't afford any of his wares.

Speculators do not add value. Markets are, in almost every case, liquid enough with outthem.

I have, I'm the past, argued for a license system, where in order to purchase commodities, you would have to be either a commodities producer or someone who would turn that commodity into something else before reselling it.

This isn't real life though. Getting around this bro is easy. Don't sell or buy from EC mules.

Agreed, that is a simple solution for players with excess time ^^ However, resellers provide a valuable service for many others.

Game economies without brokers suffer from significant liquidity issues in the absence of resellers, because of competing preferences for time as a leisure activity. Value is realized in he form of less time investment to transact. Rather than play the market meta game , players can simply play the game itself to advance their characters and many prefer to do so, spending as little time as possible in EC. Resellers make the market more efficient by normalizing prices, making it easier to buy and sell items on demand.

I've always preferred player run shops as implemented in many Asian run mmos ^^ It is a nice middle ground between brokers which drain all the fun from game markets and EQ style active player only trades, which necessitate either additional time investment for transactions or the use of a middleman reseller. It also makes shopping much more entertaining passing from shop to shop rather than reading a scrolling wall of text, or searching a catalogue ^^

I should add on topic, that I do not know shnicoasaurus. He may well be a parasite >.>

Absolute nonsense.

[luciusslayer]

I can afford his wares and i'm cool with resellers like him but his methods are shady. He'll buy out the market on an item for a week or 2 to make it a monopoly and raise the price a bunch. Like you know how fungi tunic is aorund 10k more lately. You can thank that to him he bought around 10 - 15 over the last 2 weeks to control the market on it. On top of this guy being a giant a-hole they use shady methods on our server

you clearly don't understand "the economy"

reselling is really good for "the economy" because reasons

communists calling someone a parasite. lel

[Mojo24]

...props to him. Buying out fungi tunics and reselling them slowly for 10k more a piece is clever. Though not worth it. You can make more than lets say 100k in the time that it'll take you to resell.

Unless you just focus on the EC tunnel section and farm at the same time then...

Hm. Well played Shnick.

And no, you can't afford his wares if you're bitching about 10k. That's pocket change well spent to avoid EC.

Any plans to stop jerking yourself off about how much video game money you have?

Pretty broke now, I liquidated everything and quit some time ago. I have enough plat tucked away in case I come back though, enough to not complain over a measly 10k.

I just frequent the forums when there are no decent threads on the misc.

haha priceless I couldn't of said it better

[schnickusaurus]

Well, they should not really ban me for buying low selling high luciusslayer, I have already recieved an OK from GMs in the petition forum that its free to play this game how you like.

I dont really see myself as a complete a-hole haha, I have lent out a CoF to my rl brother and I will most likely help out guildy Throssi to get a fungi for cheap price by either paying high plat for a Holgresh Elder bead that I am looking for now or simply buying low selling low to him. I look after those who stand me close you see ;)

But to analyze this, why are you angry man?? is this all about you not getting your fungi easy / quick enough? Is that the way you deal with difficult things? get angry and spread this anger all over ? I dont think its a good way really. You seem very revengeful and angry lol..

PS. the reason I replied here is cuz I kinda need at least post a reply to this claim that im a parasite lol.. :P anyways, /highfive, i dont like spend too much time in rants heheh

[Kekephee]

I don't think there's anything wrong with buying low and selling high- I don't think it's fair, but life isn't fair and no one will ever pay more than they are really willing to pay for anything- but "I loaned my brother a CoF" isn't exactly like, give this guy a parade, you know what I mean?

[Spyder73]

Like you know how fungi tunic is aorund 10k more lately. You can thank that to him he bought around 10 - 15 over the last 2 weeks to control the market on it.

You do realize there are literally more Fungi tunics and CoF's on the sever than there are players on the server, right?

I have lent out a CoF to my rl brother

Confirmed RMT'er - Apply to BDA today, you will fit right in with the other soulless FGTs that ruin our community.

But real talk - buying and selling is very good for the server - keep on tunnel questing IMO and F the haters

[Stormfists]

Luscious RUSTLEEEED.

Snick for president.

[Pokesan]

You are a blight upon the server and we'd all be better off without you, you vampiric shitlord.

[maskedmelon]

"I loaned my brother a CoF" isn't exactly like, give this guy a parade, you know what I mean?

Have to agree with Keks on this one. No issues with reselling, but this isn't a very moving example of generosity. I will say taking time to find a fungi at a discount and flip it for the guy at cost is pretty nice though ^^

Dumb thread is dumb

Fucking hell, consider red... save yourselves from this shit.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Are we really bitching about tunnelquest? really?

Must be a very slow day.
