| when did I say the secondary market would be eliminated by raid mobs dropping more gold? you made an assumption and flew way down the wrong direction.
more gold from raids would fix the PROBLEM: people having to farm outside of raids just to be able to raid. Sure, gold would help with stuff like consumables, but raid gold should cover repairs and some pots, at a minimum.
And I still firmly believe that you have no more right to claim you are "uber" at a mmo where you bought gold, even to cover repair costs, than someone who bought their character. Both people are skipping a boring timesink that they COULD HAVE accomplished anyway, but one simply skipped a bigger one. |
