Hell take a look at what the fast food industry is about to do with cashiers, you have been replaced by a touch screen, so much for your cries for a higher minimum wage just cost u your job

Hmm I don't think I like the idea of touching the same screen that hundreds of other people have touched. That touch screen soda dispenser already makes me cringe looking at it.

*nods* zealous suppliers attempt to extract a price for services (labor) that is higher than the consumer (businesses) are willing to pay so the consumer (businesses) goes elsewhere and voila enter the Burger Builder 5000, serving fresher food more quickly! Nevermore shan't I worry of hair or spittle or random debris in my foods. ^^

Unless, like, everyone bought out the reasonably priced items and your ripoff priced item sold because it was the last one on market. There's no difference in these situations.

One of the biggest differences that I see between a broker system and the one that we have here is that the former denies ambitious/hardworking new players the option of making money this way. It compels all new players into equal poverty. I would not object to implementing the private shops from the bazaar, but without the broker/search functions (i.e. Players had to manually check each shop).

There's huge difference, here's why u miss it. Stop looking at the end result as the ultimate objective because it is not always about the end result which still would be different anyways but for arguements sake let's say the end result is the same. The "immersion" interaction, the legwork holds value in the "no bazaar" EC tunnel economy. In the bazaar version the immersion is lost especially the value of bringing said item to market. The fewer people willing to devote time and effort into bringing said item to market the higher the value of that item.

It's simple economics 101. The bazaar is was created by the devs aka government intervention to stimulate the economy, unfortunately the unintended consequences were all your bank junk lost value. It also gained value making it more accessible but that too had unintended consequences as well. What I'm saying is that the interaction/immersion held more value in the game then trying to stimulate the economy.

Sorry, I wasn't a business major so I missed economics 101. Suppose I should defer to people like yourself who have had a proper education on the impact of immersion in virtual economies.

No do your own research, and I wasnt a business major either, these things I speak of are "self evident" in society. Unfortunately communist/socialist/fascist "philosophy has rooted itself deep into our educational systems and things that are self evident you have been taught or subconsciously nudged into hating and rejecting.

It really is a sad state in which our society/government/corporations has bred upon our own people.

I think that speaks poorly of our educators. I did read an entertaining dissertation from a peeress or at Harvard on the Proper balance of "bull" and what he dubbed "cow" it's converse. The whole thing arose from either suspension or expulsion of a student for taking an exam (that he aced) in a class that he was not enrolled in. It was a case of some impressive deductive reasoning and robust stroke of luck ^^

I'm gonna take that as you concede my point. But while we're on the topic of education, I noticed that so many people in school were proud of how well they could bullshit their papers. Filling up space with meaningless fluff. You were pretty good at that weren't you?

No I dropped all classes in college, and got a job. I hated school because 90% of the shit they teach you is worthless, not to mention I refused to write a 10 page paper on some crap topic every 2 weeks. I couldn't fill it with fluff because I'm anal and a perfectionist. That paper would take me months to write because it had to be perfect and without error. My wife is currently going to college and the crap she's gotta write about along with the amount of writing would make my brain explode. You don't need some certification to beware of the self evident. Formal education is not necessary with all the avenues of information we have in society. Unfortunately the Elite want you formally educated to shape your mind into good little sheep ballot punchers. Formal education has become very dangerous and sending impressionable teenagers into that institution can have "unintended consequences "

I'm not happy with how our friendly banter ended up going, so I deleted my replies to you. Please do the same if you want this to not get completely derailed.

I don't understand why or how it may be derailed. Seems like a perfectly genuine conversation to me.
