Do some people have a million plat?

[Odeseus]

I'll give an example. I personally do not have a ton of time to play, let alone sitting in EC trying to sell mediocre_loot_003 in EC. If I am trying to sell an item, I almost always sell it well below market price so that people will buy it quicker. For example, I often hunted in the paw while leveling up and camped Gnoll Hide Tome. I knew that if I was really patient, I could probably sell it for 2k or something like that. However, I sold it for 800pp because I didn't have the time to wait for someone willing to pay 2k for it. So the guy who bought it could have bought it for 800pp and then turned around and sold it for the 2k a few days later. They would have made over 100% profit on it.

I've done the same thing in RL. When I got a flatscreen TV, I put my old TV (which worked perfectly, it was just 10 years old) up on craig's list for $50. I probably could have gotten 3x that but I didn't want my old TV sitting in the corner of my apartment doing nothing but taking up space.

I probably sell myself short all the time, but I prefer selling item_X sooner rather than later.

There was a time manastone was down to 30k, then back up to 80k, that's CLEAR profit there for the people who were able to take advantage of it.

Laughing my ass off at the guy above saying he could ever make 100k in items into 1 million plat. That would just mean that the guy playing the market is some how convincing the mindless plat farming zombies to pay even more ludicrous outlandish prices. People may be stupid but I am hoping to god that the guys spending there lives grinding plat don't buy into these tards playing the market. The market is fucked enough as it is because of people up selling garbage.

How a simple question by the OP can become so so complicated...

Because he insulted half the server in his first post. I thought that was pretty obvious.

Most people will millions of plat dont farm it. They play the market. Which means they can make 100k plat into 1 million plat within 30 minutes, while making out with their girlfriend, watching TV, eating dinner and clicking an occasional button.

Some people dont like questing/killing/grouping, they enjoy the economics aspect of the game, and thats all they do. All you need is a lvl 1 toon and a few plat to start.

Amount of plat does not directly correlate to amount of time spent playing.

/thread over

My friends are worth way more than a million plat to me.

I could use money though...

If anything I was poking fun at the silent minority of people who sacrifice real life for EQ. That honestly wasn't the point of my thread tho, the point was to ask if any why anyone would have over a million plat. It's not like you can sell it for real life money, it's not like you "need" a manastone/rubi bp etc to compete in raids/soloing. Why would you waste 100k on one item when you could re twink another character for about 20-30k and level him up? It's like this server has the black card club, people walking around flexing there E peens spending 100+ k on items that they don't need to compete and probably 90 percent of the server will ever see them wearing it. A perfect example is me cracking up at these people who sit at the front of the tunnel holding 2 mana stones. I just shake my head and basically see them holding 2 solid gold bars going "look at meeeeee, I like to flaunt my overpriced rare items, teee heee heee".

This made me laugh tho , Gordon Gekko is a legend. "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much. "
