But when one quits, those items no longer have any value. Zero. It would be like tossing ashes on someone, just because they asked you to. There can be no true motivation to do this and I would wager it's near universal, a pang of futility, comes with the thought of engaging in a pointless exchange.
They do as much good rotting, in the minds of the rejoined. Less effort, no guilt, exact same result. Which is nothing, it's nothing either way. It's just that one of the ways makes more sense, requiring absolutely zero concern, as such things deserve.
I can't believe how many alt-righters came from gaming and then presume to understand Nietzsche. What he knew was beyond the functional state your average angry gamer exists in. Not a slight, much less an accusation, I don't know any of you virgins... But it's a very funny juxtaposition to me. Universal lack of intrinsic value is really fuckin' cool, but not easily applied over a template of domination and acquisition. js
...Nihilism, the non-theoretical part, which eludes scholars because they tend to get stuck theorizing, can be of great value to anyone who grasps it and I will demonstrate it's utility, thusly, at any chance.
And then there's a rational-self-interest fail, too. The version of a quitting player you seek is rare and often spontaneous, when liquidating. So you have put out the word here, but the increase in chances doesn't honor your effort. Nit-pick, maybe you're doing this for the fun of having a lottery ticket. /shrug
Maybe your best bet would be to go deeper into the rumor mills, make friends who could alert you to a sudden meltdown-sale or something. You'd still end up in EC, too, most of the time; even with a good grapevine.
But the REAL reason I wanted to give this toad a lick (the thread), was to selfishly declare, truthfully, that if I ever were to quit, in an all-or-nothing scenario- I would fire up Fraps in Hi-Res and go to town, destroying every last thing I knew would get a decent cringe, across eight sixties and six epics- Vaults-full, of really neat shit, to give the stereotypical neckbeard seizures.
I would do it drunk as all-billy-hell, obnoxiously commenting on every substantial item I destroyed, to rub it in, for those assholes I'd really like to picture hyperventilating, in disbelief... That part would be more personal xD
And I would do in the pretty robe last, maybe even drag it out a while. "I guess I finally got my green scales, guys!" -Inside joke, but destroying ph4t l3wt is not a new idea to me. =P
I would have a second monitor, running riot porn, nazi-punching reels set to Slayer @ eleven. And of course the odd droppable, of high value and/or novelty, would randomly be handed to a level one hidden somewhere in the backwoods of Norrath. I guess I'd have to stream it, too, to get the full effect; so there's where the fantasy ends, too much fuckin' work over truly nothing.
Still, I stick by the one who brung me, as they say, and vote that 'nothing' is the appropriate action in response to your pleas- I just wanted to say that given the choice, destroying my shiznat on camera would be way more fun and stimulating for all, ergo, more productive; if I had some reason to need rid of it in permanence.
