It is in-effing-evitable in every. single. mmo. that I play, I will at some point STOP playing the game itself and get wrapped up in the Auction House or Trade Network.

It starts with me accumulating a bit of wealth through playing, then I start gathering mats. Put them on the AH at a mark-down. Make enough wealth to start BUYING UP mats I don't even need, and slowly create a monopoly.

Why? I. Don't. Know.
You know what's fun? Giving yourself a second job online almost identical to your RL one

@Fist_of_Bob So recognizable! I tend to have the same, just for programming. I enjoy games like TIS-100, Shenzhen I/O, and optimizing the solutions, even though it's pretty much like what I do IRL.
