What's causing all the inflation?

Excellent point. So then, are you upset that people are angry? Do you want to change that? If you don't care then my next point has no merit. If you do care, then I ask how you would have wanted the merchants to go about their plan with a methodology more "morally sound," per say. Would you have liked them to tell everyone, "Hey, check out the deflating prices for meso. We know the market is about to inflate, so we're going to inflate it first."? Then the information would be out there, just like Maker or global PS3 sales, but would it help? Not in this case, because what can the average GMS player do but sit and watch the market inflate; not everyone can buy out an FM of GFAs.

I definitely see where you're coming from but I'm unsure of how else they could have informed the population. Hell, it's quite logical that people would try to make money off inflation, and since several non-marketers noticed meso selling price drops weeks ago on publicly accessible websites, can't you then also argue that the information of an impending inflation was just as public?

Just trying to play the devil's advocate . You make a great point, though.

I'm kinda relishing the lulz, personally. My daily FM check is the most exciting part of the Maple day now.
You're right about meso seller's prices being public, touche. I guess my only retort is that I don't know anyone that keeps up with that in comparison to information about future releases. Personally, I've glazed over advertisers for months, and never actually been to one of their sites except the one posted earlier in this thread. To the angry people in question, I would imagine meso selling sites are essentially another planet.

As for the methods, like I said, I feel it's a plantain move from my own set of ideals, but my set of ideals backs them up in a sense that there's no reason they should give away their information or make any effort to warn the public.
Like on a plane, put your own oxygen mask on before helping anyone else. It's not something I'd do, but I don't blame them for doing it, to simplify.
