You better take that back. I fought the ender dragon and won and after 6000 hours I was able to afford my in game house, that looks like an electric ball sack, full of goblins armed with laser rifles.

That game is pure Ultima and you can't saw it in the Star Citizen thread, you better mosey on over to the SotA thread and join in.

It's not misinformation, but the best I have at the time. It's not always accurate, and I think I've shown that, but I've also been dead on with some items (that 100% SM was in the 2.6 build, proven by .pak analysis, and also shown via screenshots by evocati, even though derek was crying that it wasn't), or on the 2.6 release, or price of vanguard/sabre, etc. In any event, the person I used to speak with moved on from his/her position and I simply don't have as many interesting things to post about.

I still believe the game will be made. I still have 3100 in the game (4k was bought and divided out to the people that tossed me the money for those items) and I sold off 900 so far (@AP). 3100 may seem like nothing compared to miku and may seem like a lot to some people here, but for me and my lifestyle, it's really not that much. I've spent that and more in a weekend parting over the summer. I've spent that on 4-day vacations in Napa. Point is, I can afford to do what I do and spend what I spend and that makes me happy.

Does it make you all happy to hate on me for that? Probably.

I don't really enjoy recreational hate which is why I don't usually jump in on the group kickings. I certainly don't hate on you for spending money on a thing you like. I spent a shitload on this game, then got it out later. I'm not going to judge anyone for doing the same and posting about it even if I think a person flashing their cash is A) really tacky and B) pretty good evidence that they're trying to justify their consumption to themselves.

What I do dislike is that you have been wrong time and time again without learning anything, and you persist in rolling through here with a dismissive attitude towards those who would rather deal with the reality of a game that is obviously never coming out. Then when called on it, you fall back to bullshit bullet points. Let's face it, no matter where you got your info, people inside CIG are just as in the dark about what the hell is happening in the company as those of us in this thread trying to read the tea leaves. Having a functioning anything in CIG is no guarantee that it will ever see the light of day, as we have seen over and over again. I get that seeing the inside scoop makes you feel like you know what's going on- Derek's crew does a similar thing whenever he has another hot blog to drop. But the difference is, Derek's info is occasionally from sources outside CIG and therefor actually turns out to be true and interesting once in a while. Nothing that leaks out of that dream factory is worth the bits that compose it.

ManofManyAliases posted:

The idea/thought is not much different than other MMOs: goal is to understand the mechanic that will corner the barrier to entry for an economy or market. Mineral research, mining utilizing the endeavor to convert mats or upgrade equipment, etc. I'd rather spend time doing that than grinding for ships.

But the REASON people try to corner a market is to MAKE PROFIT so they can PROGRESS into BUYING THINGS.

Again, if you start the game day-1 with everything you want unlocked, there is no reason to corner the market. Its just busywork. Its just grind, without even any return on that grind.

You haven't removed the grind, you've removed the reason to grind. That's worse. That's a pointless grind.

Its a pretty fundamental part of basically every videogame ever made.

The only exceptions are purely creative things like building a cool castle in minecraft or building a cool level in little big planet or mario maker. But SC will not have anything creative like that. (You're gonna try to say it does, but no, it really really doesn't. Buying and selling things isn't creative.)

From wikipedia

"Lay's" is the company's primary brand, with the exception of limited markets where other brand names are used: Walkers in the UK and Ireland; Smith's in Australia; Chipsy[1] in Egypt; Poca in Vietnam; Tapuchips in Israel;[2] Margarita in Colombia; Sabritas in Mexico; and, formerly, Hostess in Canada
