Yeah it's really changed over the years hasn't it?
I mean I get there's always going to be botters inflating and deflating items in the market, all I really care is that things that are necessary [skill books mainly] aren't kept at the billions they were a long time ago - like how TT30 cost you your soul when 4th job first came out and MW20 used to be hundreds of millions because it was so rare and everyone needed it. That I cant' say I really give a damn about because it just speeds up the natural deflation - Bstep 20 isn't going to be 150m forever, if there's suddenly an influx that cheapens it I see it as no problem because it's something that everyone in a specific class needs and the more affordable it is the less painful it is if you get bad books and fail a ton in a row.
eeeh rambling, when it comes to dealing with items and market value I never gave much of a pineapple. I don't buy from the obvious hacker shops by personal perogative but I do appreciate stuff with bad drop rates being lowered in price by the hacks.
What I do have a problem with are things like IRM, demi, and that christ-awful PG hack that lagged the servers like nobody's business - things that make it impossible as a legit to "advance" in the game. I have no problem with being stuck merching all day but it gets fucking boring after a while and maybe I'd like to go to Red Nose Den 2 - oh wait there's IRM everywhere. [not as much anymore, i haven't seen one in a while but I've been in lower ludi so ymmv] Things like that I've always hated on top of limited maps for certain levels - like how before the MD's in Leafre were released it was fucking impossible to get a map between hackers and high level legits, cause Peak, Skeles and Newties were the only maps.
I don't think ....well I know the hacking isn't nearly as bad, I'm still petrified every time I see a new hack out that it's going to raep the game on the scale that PG hack did but recently hasn't been nearly as bad. It's just a hassle to find maps sometimes and since there's so many alternatives now I'm not as upset.
I just wish there was a way as a legit to do something back. I mean someone tries to take your map and you just KS them out and stuff but how the pineapple do you KS IRM? That's probably the only thing that bothers me anymore.
