The analogy to a food shortage could easily refer to a bishop taking something that is "rightfully" an archmages. At any rate, this whole thing has literally been blown out of proportion. You can point out 1 bishop that has that many elemental wands, and I can point out that I just saw a thread on sleepy where a NL had 3 Ele wand 5s for sale (presumably he sold one). The fact of the matter is, its their money, and they can spend it however they wish to spend it. There is no restriction that these "ought" to belong to one group or another, and lets not delude ourselves into believing that the market and the sheer commodity of these things is tiny enough so that ONE bishop hording 4 of them is going to raise the price significantly (and really, ONE instance of this vs. how many instances of AMs holding 2). Again, the point to reiterate here is that I could spend all my money to horde Ribgols and Stonetooths for all anyone is allowed to care, and no one has the right to question my ABILITY to do this (although my sanity could easily be put into question).
Again, I have stated that no one gaches exclusively for this wand, but it influences their decision, and at a time when Nexon is trying to encourage gachapon and at a time when little kids' allowances are getting smaller and smaller, that could easily make or break a proposal to buy tickets. It's not a thousand dollars that's at stake here; when you have something that could trigger an onset of purchasing, the potential lost is much more significant. Again, how many people are going to gach at NLC if they know that the best thing they can get is an Ele wand 5 selling for less than 100mill? They certainly won't be spending more than 25 tickets I'm assuming.
The bread analogy never said anything about one Bishop buying one wand. There were 10 people and 10 loaves. One for each. How did that say that Bishops buying one wand was selfish?
And if people stopped Gaching at NLC, big deal. They'd just go to Zip. I'm pretty sure they have Ele Wands and better items too.
Quote:Knowing this makes it all the more comforting to know that its been as many years since these wands were released with no penalty without explanation.
Many years? Wat? They came out last August :O
