| Biography | You realize once you work a shitty job cleaning up after others that people are pigs. They shit in trash cans and throw trash on the floor next to the trash can. They believe that they''re entitled to have their messes cleaned up. They believe that freedom means you don''t have to give a shit. |

There used to be a time when Auction houses were valuable tools for the speed of obtaining items without having to search hundreds of player bazaars, people could compete on prices and undercut and really wouldn't have to leave their character on overnight to sell something
I used to think they were great too, back when people sold something, someone would buy it, put it on, sell their old junk.. be happy and move on..
but nowadays Auction houses rarely have buyers, mostly they're full of people trying to make a quick dime buying everything they can think of and marking it up heavily
I've seen it on WoW, final fantasy(to a lesser extent, final fantasy's auction houses are great) rappelz runescape... pretty much any game that has an auction house is full of profiteers nowadays.
In fact you can almost guarantee your items aren't going to be bought by someone that will use them.. more like sell them back marked up..
which happens in the real world and its cool and all
but sometimes you'll find one player buys money online and pretty much buys everything in the auction house he can find
Marked up double he'll double his investments minus auction costs.. if they sell..
and it ruins the economy
Sure maybe other people wont be so greedy and it happens all the time as well, you see people undercutting this one person out of sheer spite, I've done it. i hate merchant characters.
but back when there weren't auction houses you didnt have the luxury of finding the best price, you'd spend hours looking for that piece of gear that suits you perfectly from player-made shops. Those were the fun days.
Some of the things that limit profiteering are auction houses showing a list of what the last 20 people paid for an item.. silent auctions which dont tell you what they cost(a la FFXI)
making an item bind on equip if you buy it at the AH
charging exponentially more for each time a person uses the AH to sell something
yada yada
Comment if you want but if you're one of those people don't assume that I'll give a crap about your opinion or even waste my time reading it.

I'm still voting for Obama but I wish that the choices were Romney/Huckabee and Edwards/Clinton or Obama
Im not voting for Obama but the pic on the cover of New Yorker is low ball blow.Its got to be vary small minority that thinks this kind of crap.And who are these people where do they live,its nuts.
I've met people who say things like this in private, they're the same people who use the N word casually and they're a lot more common than you may think.. especially in the south..
unfortunately obama has lost his appeal since his nomination and it's making me feel like hillary would have been a stronger candidate..
I feel like he needs a VP who will help him make the right decisions and Hillary would be that VP

final fantasy is dead to me.
Final fantasy went from video game to seamless FMV
and apart from 11, the last good one was IX
mmmmmm final fantasy 11 *salivates*
i bought and installed it and my girlfriend's rig wont play it :(
*goes back to playing WoW*
sony should stick to making TVs
i think he said the sword weighed ~45 pounds, i dont feel like looking
that's considerably lighter than the buster sword should be but the poor guy could barely hold it up
also, I'm sure if he had made it weighted all he would have done is hurt himself trying to break pallets like that
he'd have better luck using the final fantasy 11 great axe :D
Edit: also he's cutting the hard way, he might as well be cutting a stack of 2 by 4s
idk if this has been posted before but it's kind of funny
