[quote name="@Tenrecidae" date="2021-07-24 11:41:49" ] Sniping for myself? Oh yes. Pew pew. Price gouging? Oh no. Price gougers get the block. They can play the game how they like, they just won't be playing with me. [/quote] Where does the line of gouging go? Imo asking 10kt-50kt fee for genes is fair, depenging how much the MP price is. Makes it worthwhile for the sniper to check the MP every 5min and I get some of the stuff I want faster than my sloooow mobile would allow.

[/quote] A good question, because I actually do appreciate people who list MP stuff on the AH; I understand paying for convenience. I think it's subjective. I generally don't give people the block unless it's super clear what they're doing (100kt+ above MP value, false scarcity being generated).

Oh yeah, emptying the MP single handedly and then putting up double/triple prices in AH is not cool.

I got a few copies of each for myself, and honestly I'd feel crazy guilty knowing I was making money by taking advantage of other players like that.

Yeah nah, not the sniping type. Not exactly above it but i don’t usually see flipping as worth my time or energy

Besides as others have said, i’m gonna wait till the hype dies down. Or until either comes up in a flash sale! It sucks but i’m used to waiting for things to cheapen. I’m glad i got scammed twice for buying preorder/on day because i learned that its much safer to wait and really, ya ain't missing out on much.. unless your trying to run a profitable hatchery.. but uh, good luck with that! XD
