Seriously, this game just gets more ridiculous day after day. Buy money off ebay while you still can, prices will rise. (I am against buying money off ebay, but now I'm starting to wonder... do I have a choice?)

I think youre being sarcastic, but if not...

you state get rid off all the items you dont need, then say about thinking you may have to get money from ebay to pay for the non essentials.............

I think Grim Reefer here has made a real insight (spelling/grammar aside) into the game's economy and politics. Basically, the GW devs have attempted to force the economy as close to communism as they can get it, and of course the consequences are well...unsurprising. Every game ever played has an elitist core - groups of players dedicated to finding and exploiting ANYTHING they can to gain an advantage over others. The game's devs can never be omnicient and proactive enough to ever halt this practice, and the reactive patching and nerfing has only made it worse for the less knowlegeable, or less dedicated players to EVER catch up. I mean, who among us doesn't kick themselves for not crafting a few HoD swords before they were removed? A 4-pack of those would get you a suit of fissure armor for God's sake. It'll take me months to amass the kind of weath equivalent to a few minutes of work at the Henge crafter.

I'm fine with the idea of not "having" to farm, but there are a lot of people who want to do it anyways and trying to completely disallow the practice is only making things worse. I mean, consider this: someone wants to get say, a Rago flame staff, but can't afford the 90K to buy it from a player. So they go farming for it in SF, but after a few runs, the drops turn completely sour forcing that player to do without the item, or somehow cough up the cash to buy it (which apparently you can't do because farming is BAD, hmm'kay). What does that person do now? I guess he goes and F's himself. The devs won't stop what they want to stop, and in trying they only crank up the value on items that the demand for increases every day. Thus, the rich get richer.......in true politburo fashion.

Buying money off of ebay should be stopped if anything, there are too many rich noobs out there that dont work for their money.

The easiest way to trigger this message is to zone out of town, kill the first thing you see, go back into the town you just left, and repeat. I was trying to get jade mandibles real quick and I just killed the first set of jades just outside of thirsty river mission. Eventually the messaged popped up saying that monsters only have so much loot and only killing the first monster on the map would eventually yield nothing. Well so much for that idea heh.
