By the way, I still don't get if these people refuse to understand how some outsider might think this is a scam (due to fear that it might be true), or are they really that dumb.

They might only seem dumb because they're suffering greatly from crimestop which requires them to be intentionally dumb.

EDIT: Simple solution to all of this. Stop buying ships. Hold on to what you have. If you own a 500$ ship you'll earn pleb-money faster than a guy with a flying trashcan.

If all the goons in this forum believe I can float on a bubble, could you maybe do it in the next 15 minutes? I'm too lazy to walk to the store and buy a pack of smokes.

That's something I tend to classify under Parkinson's law of triviality and confirmation bias, mainly because there were some very specific forced errors, not the least of which was attempting to build a specification without compromise, something that the F-35 ran into.

I'll have him know that we're 'Stupidly Hilarious' and that's a function of a dead gay comedy forum, but the CCP bit is a bit of a giveaway, so he's one of our victims from the sandbox.

See, the problem with his main thesis is that it doesn't actually matter what the group is, teamwork is OP and trust is a weakness. We exploit the gently caress out of both of these because it solidifies the sacred trust of tenbux. That we're 'sore' is a swing and a miss, but an interesting bit of transference.

See, right now people are pre-ordering items that will be available in game. The value is not going to go _up_ because there's no real scarcity and people are generally frugal, so why buy in now?

Fear of missing out? Why?; it's all coming or not. If it does, I buy whatever I want in the released game.
Now, if there was damned content, and you could actually ascend the curve to get a leg up on day one, then it might be viable to rush - Archeage was maggoty with property speculators - but as this all stands at the moment, we can play the sodding long game.

Weirdly, by the time this thing plops out, there could be an entirely different set of goons complaining about it.

Clarify if they're refusing to give the information, or whether they don't have it. Obviously the first indicates that they've moved on from honoring statutory rights and need a refresher.

Durzax appears to be a refugee from well-known cesspool 'League of Legends'. Low IQ dude strikes me as being somewhat European, though.

I could be wrong, I've not stared at enough words to really figure it out, and there's the whole 'staring into the abyss' axis.

Does anyone have stats on how this sale is doing vs. the last major "jpeg" sale. Be interesting to see if there has been a significant drop off.

Also, wondering if one of the reasons they have become so harsh towards the old money is that in they have no way of filtering a new money buy vs. a melt-n-cco. Would go a long way in explaining the $185million generated if a lot of that was people melting and moving up to new models with credit. Also explain why they are hurting even with a supposed 185 mill.

There has been a lot of changes to how sales work so it is really hard to tell right now but I'd conclude extremely tentatively that the amount of cash from whales is up. Nonwhales cant buy for another couple days. Cashgrab appears to be grabbing cash in other words.

No one really trusts the funding tracker or knows exactly what it means. It probably only includes new money assuming it represents reality at all.

I would actually play this poo poo heel of a game as a shipless flunky with a pristine record (so he is assured I am trustworth per his idea of safe gameplay) to simply get on his ship to space his rear end and fly away with his goodies.

He's terrified of being ganked so it'd be better if his whole crew turned out to be goons as he ran round his ship looking for help only to be told at each turn, "Derek Smart sends his regards."

In truth, he'd clip through the ship's hull, die on a ladder or the game would CTD long before that could ever happen, but it's a fun thought.

I'm not sure he'd recover from that.

Why does CIG need new money?

"They had to expand the scope of the game because we gave them too much money."

Why do you think that, if you give them more money, they won't expand the scope of the game again?

"We're giving them money explicitly for these pieces that they've already built."

What about the pieces you already gave them money for, that they haven't delivered?

There is a gap here. If you want to make Citizens go insane, just keep asking them to cover it.
