The ONLY way to escape Group-Think is Not-Think.
Keep your mind clean and relentlessly empty.
Violently resist ALL THINKING, just in case.

I really want to get back to tooting about what I was getting at this morning with the game and the market being micro/macrocosm (or fractals if you like) and what that has to do with Chaos Magic (because it's all about that), but it appears that things are glitchy.
Since I do want to get what I'm thinking out there and see what others think, I'll hold off and take it back up in the morning.

It leads directly to the creation of a virtual black market (buying gold/credits) and virtual crime (you are cheating by buying gold).

And that black market spills over into the real world. People who run gold selling operations are involved in real world shady stuff. Real world black markets, real world crime.

And all of this seems normal to players. It's just how the AH works, always been that way. You're conditioned to it.

Just. Like. Society.

On the weekends, when the game pop is high, I create artificial scarcity. More profits.

Eventually, the market catches on, and the moment I see someone flood it with cheaper mats, I get out of that commodity. By the point I get this done with the low lvl crafting mats, I have enough wealth to move up to the next lvl of mats. So I'm leveling along with the crafters I'm exploiting. I read up on what they need, and gouge on those. Game guides are my WSJ.

This is unregulated capitalism.

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.

All the opinions expressed here are explicitly shared by my employer. They have had to frequently change opinions in the past on my account.

They are going to be very surprised to find out about these new new opinions, once they discover this space

I'm getting pizza in MSP and I swear this entire restaurant is propaganda for Big Coal. There's signs everywhere proudly boasting:

"As the first coal-burning pizza restaurant in Minnesota, Black Sheep Pizza seeks to honor the craft of these pioneers by using clean burning Anthracite coal..."

Big Coal. Not even once

I understand programmer-speak just as well as French, which is to say not at all. Why am I here?
No idea, man.
No. Idea.
