This is probably the stupidest thing I've read all year. Thanks for that.

1. No.
2. You don't understand the concept of a money sink in a MMO. It is meant to take currency out of the hands of players and into the void that is NPC Merchants. Not to simply exchange between player 1 and 2.
3. The number of accounts sold that have IP exemptions built in was absolutely retarded.
4. No.
I think differently than most people. It's why I have more plat/items/accounts here than 95% of the population and I rarely play! I know my shit (sorry if i come off as bragging trying to make a point).

Item account trades/sells were a nice way for people who had plat to spend their money. Sure the plat didn't leave the server, so maybe I used the wrong word when I said "plat sink."

Now, what do they do? They buy Torpor for 100k and sell it for 105k. Then that 105k torpor gets bought and sold for 110k...you get the picture? I'm sure it's not hard to grasp.

I bought/sold/traded multiple accounts, how about you? It was a win/win for the buyer and seller. I never had any of the accounts I worked go sour. In fact I still own some of the accounts I purchased way back then.

Then why should most people care about what you think?

So again, the moral of the story, especially for people who don't want to grind to farm, is to go get the spell directly. Wtf people? You're probably the same ones who complain about people farming items to sell to make plat, but you won't go out there and get the items yourself... i.e. you're helping create the high prices by increasing demand but not increasing supply.
