Just remember h4x - you are the change that you've been looking for!

Stop posting items for obscene amounts on ah and maybe your fee will be less. you still ran away with 350k roughly. that is more then fair.

Seriously there is a reason players use the trade channel. Get better deals and avoid the middle man ah fee. You can even post here on the forums in your servers market section. No one is forcing you to use the ah and abide by its rules. These fee's are put in place so plat farmers do not buy everything then up the price and post it right away. It is a necessary evil.

someone bought that belt for 400k++ plat? holy ****. maybe my sorc isnt too attached to hers after all...

[t0r012]

perhaps it would be better if you elaborated on how the economy is broken?

[rest]

Oh and I'm curious what about that letter makes you think there is something wrong with the economy in-game? Someone wanted what you were selling. They paid a price they thought was fair. Win-win.

Taxes are too high because of inflation and plat farmers selling plat on websites!

I suggest they ban anyone with over 3milpp b/c if they aren't farming or buying plat..

Well, they're not spending, so they're not stimulating our economy, which makes us lose out in the AH.

The AH fee is one of the very few plat sinks in the whole game. The other I can easily think of being consumables like potions and scrolls. If the cut is too high, take it to the trade channel or to the marketplace forum.

Banning people who have "too much plat" is silly. Even for you.

Weren't you banned for selling plat a while back, Dispel?

Somehow, I think he can.

He is serious, even if you didn't call him Shirley...

[Vellrad]

YAY!
Good old h4x we knew is back!
We was missing you!

[Spisey]

looks like I've been locked out from giving h4x rep :(

[holfrar]

If you think thats bad, what about the poor person who put a +4 Charisma tome on the Orien AH.

That went for the max bid of 2.1 million. they lost 630k, more than your item sold for.

The "tax" is a flat 30%. And it's not a zero-sum economy. Plat is generated for free, so someone not spending doesn't affect the economy either way.

Wow. And here I thought you could not reach a new low in being ignorant of how the game functions.

My worth generally fluctuates, at any given time, between 20-25milpp. It fluctuates a lot, because for every 10 items I sell on the AH, I am usually buying 1 that is rather expensive.

Perhaps if you spend more time actually questing, and less time dying in PVP, you would see how absurdly easy it is to make 3milpp. I would hazard a guess that I could make that much in a week if I really wanted to. Without considerations like work and sleep, I would consider 1milpp/day achievable (although not necessarily sustainable).

[PopeJual]

The rent is too damned high.

[porq]

This suggestion strikes me more as a smile and a wink, so subtle joke ftw!

dude I hardly play and i got over 2 million plat or more, theres bound to be so many people with over 3 million plat so turbines going to ban what 60-70% of their player base because you think they got too much money and are not spending it fast enough?

wow just wow, only hax would come up with an idea like this.

dont like the ah fees? use trade channel or the forums market place.

[NaturalHazard]

The rent is too damned high.

Not only that............... unemployment is too high because of the economy is in such a bad shape because of all those rich peoples with over 3 million plat hoarding and not sellig and most likely being plat sellers!!! that too many people are unemployed in storm reach and have to spend all their time in the pvp pits playing cards, pool, and table tennis.

[justhavinfun]

I would have a new goal with h4x's suggestion. I made 1,000 plat questing today, only 299,000 plat to go till I get banned. What an acheivement. I can't wait for this to happen then I would have a purpose. Also would like to know how much h4x has to go till he got banned.

Do us a favor, just disappear. This has got to be the single most idiotic comment i have heard out of you yet. What i find particularly strange is why you stick around in a game that you obviously do not like. I say obviously because i have never seen a single thread of yours that doesn't involve completely tearing apart the basic foundation of the game and changing it. You spend more time trying to change the **** thing then you seemingly spend actually playing the game. You make me want to kick a puppy.

[LookingForABentoBox]

What is the problem the OP is complaining about? What is broken?

I think his head is broken thats the problem!! :D

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! Hax's makes me laugh more than anyone on these forums ever has!!!!

There'a an AH in the Lobster!?!.....

lol I wrote that question like 3 different ways trying to avoid the ambiguity that would let people like you pounce on it, looks like I failed

[Nevthial]

Lol

[Lost_Leader]

The rent is too damned high.

H4x represents the 'Rent is Too Damned High' party.
Only a developer, like a father of a house, can put everything in control.
The bottom line is, the economic state of emergency is the way to go!
The rent (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg5SwyTvAHw) is too damned high!

LOL. Hate to say it, but i gotta agree with this one.

Haha best quote from a H4x thread I've seen! That one made me laugh hysterically.

[manumase]

does the 3 mill pp ban mean i would be banned? all i do is sell those red scales for 700k plat a time

[Stormanne]

Ok, I've reached my daily limit for both positive and negative rep handing out in one thread...

[Talias006]

too*

two, to or too... et tu?
One step forward and a plethora back.

Wow, that's funny, sad and horrible all at once. Or would that be thrice?

Imagine the mayhem if you could get a Lobster on your airship to put next to the AH and the XP shrine.... :eek:

man, and here i thought that h4x was becoming a good forum goer, i think the last 3 or so things he posted that i happened to skim for drama were actually good ideas, then reality comes back, like a tarantula that you thought was gone but was actually just hiding under a bench that you picked up in your garage and then dropped on your foot.

[Hendrik]

Fool and his money are soon parted...

Or in Dispels case;

If you have something that he doesn't, it must be nerfed.

If you can do something better then then him, it must be nerfed.

And now, if you have more money then him, you must be banned.

[Sydril]

1. Rusts monsters eat money.

2. An epic rust monster invades Stormreach.

Problem solved.

Heh. If you're steamed now, just wait... one day (if Tymora favors you) you will lose $157,000 in taxes in real money!

[RTN]

Your mistake was selling a highly desired item on the AH. You should sell/trade items like that in the forums where there is no tax.

[Aaxeyu]

The AH tax needs to go.

[fco-karatekid]

I wonder if anyone reading actually catches the irony and IRL allusions it appears you're throwing :D

H4x, dude - there's not a finite pie you're trying to get a piece of; so because someone else has a bigger piece does NOT mean they took it from you. This applies IRL as well as in-game.

Mr. Bungle knows that if you don't like the auction tax, you should use the trade channel or forums to sell or trade your valuable items.
