Selling things at a crazy price is illegal in real life? People aren't as stupid in real life as they are in an MMO. If somewhere priced gas 3x higher than other places and waited for an idiot to come by, well we know what would happen there. Wouldn't be illegal. Just really stupid. Just like someone buying a virtual item at 5x+ the price by mistake.
You're adorable when you can't see that i'm making fun to run the argument dry and instead insult me to mask that you don't have anything in response to a non-serious answer. We both know neither of us are going to budge. Why do we (mostly you) even bother? I would actually enjoy a serious answer on this. If not, then whatever, we can just go on to not derailing a thread that is so off course it makes me lose hope in southperry as a forum.
What the hell? Everyone who had a GM scroll to sell pretty much HAD to undercut the price on them because they needed them to sell as soon as possible because their item was losing value fast. I doubt you don't know this was the case, but it sounds like you didn't or else you wouldn't say that there isn't a rush to sell anything.
Anyway, the argument has never been a contradiction; it was just started under a false pretense.
That pretense is that selling and buying are at all the same activity.
Of course, you seem to have a horribly difficult time following streams of conversation.
Selling 10% Scrolls at the price of 100% Scrolls is a scam because it require deception.
A real-life analogy would be vendors selling knock-offs of high end items.
I never once said nor implied that overpricing is a crime.
Anyone rushing to sell GM scrolls was short-sighted. It's Purple Surfboards all over again, with people speculating that they would easily be under 5mil after the event and now they easily go for twelve times that much. Of course, this is now completely coming away from the actual discussion at hand.
As for your mockery, the fact that you were making fun of my statement was readily apparent.
What's baffling is that you find it odd that one wouldn't have anything meaningful to say in response to a joke.
Speaking of which, if you have a problem with my continual response, I suggest you simply stop responding.
I believe in natural flow of conversation and therefore don't understand why people get so huffy when a strict subject is not kept.
Fact is, to expect people to perfectly adhere to a topic is absurd.
If you want to know why I bother responding, well, tough cookies.
