Interesting comment. 2x, 3x, 5x times the usual price? what is that suppose to mean? If I'm the only one with the Item, like a Magma Dragon pet that I BOUGHT with real money from the item store, then I can set whatever price I want. Simple Capitalism. Supply and demand.
I give my guildies Pets to help them out for free and I make the gear for them at no charge. BUT, if I gather the resources needed to make Armor and weapons, then I'm going to set the price based on the price other people are selling the same items, the price of the mats I had to pay in order to buy them on trader and the time I spent making them. If I'm the only one selling a particular item then I can make my own price.
If you want one of the things I sell on trader and you don't want to pay the price I set "in FAKE gold coins" then you can pay REAL MONEY, just like I did. Hell, I'm providing you a service really. I spend my hard earned dollar with FC instead of with the Chienese gold sellers, unlike other people. Yet you want to complain about the prices I'm setting.
I didn't exploit any resources and since it's quite obvious to me that the actions of other people exploiting resources was well known, (EXPLOITERS PARADISE as you claim) then they should have been dealt with acccordingly.
NOW, I don't have any DUPS, I have resources like black silver. tin, ivory dust, and the rest of the "Enchanted" metals, woods, leathers and other TRADESKILL RESOURSES along with gear that I have either bought or I took off the dead corpse of someone I just sent to Rez pad heaven. Some of this gear I could use immediately and others I can use once I get to the level required. but if it's a higher level item that I can't bind to my character because of a level restriction. WHY DO I NOW HAVE TO LOSE IT? I have over 400 off line levels, but I can't use those on RAGE. I have recipe weapons of lvls 60-80 but this character on rage is a lvl 58 so I can't bind them to it yet. WHY DO A NOW HAVE TO LOSE THOSE AS WELL???
and that is where I'm having the very real issue here
BTW what the hell is a ISRA BANKER?
