My whole point being is, that if someone besides myself wants to bother with selling items for 1fg I'm more than happy to send them items with no direct return expected. They could try to do a little slashing once in awhile even if they have to do it at a level 1 all over again. At least their making an effort. I started this way and never had the gear to get past Lvl 30 for the first 3 months I played. Only selling fish helped me. My first sizable Donation which was from Paladinsr1 it was 50fg and he told me to invest in a ee heal. After that I somehow earned enough respect and trust that Kaspir took me under his wing. Kaspir would loan me items to go about 10 levels then I would give those back and he would give me enough for the next ten levels. Sometimes I could only play for 6 levels worth but before I signed off, I returned those items. I never tried to keep and say i forgot, I wasn't through with those 10 levels yet, ect., if I was not using them while I was on-line for any one session they were back in his vault for someone else to use. I'm still using a set of his high mage gear now to help me level faster that I would return in a heart beat. I own some stuff now to where I don't have to have it but it sure helps the fight be a whole lot easier. If we truly want to be a Guild as I understand it, then we're here to help each other not get things through deception. Only through perseverance can we all overcome. When I get too low on fg and nothing is selling I just spend a day on D2 doing countess runs for runes. I sell alot of tir's el's, eth's, Tal's, ort's, thul's, Amn's, found only 1 Lo this last season and used it. Rest my runes were transmuted up. Fg is easy enough to get respect has to be earned imho. Good luck to everyone in what ever endeavor they choose to pursue.
I already am picking up on the devastation that Dan is feeling about this matter. It is of my concern, but as a owner, I have to persue both sides before making a decision. Now I know that we have been sending him quite a few items.. and his prof is over 2, last i checked. So I know that something has been done. But perhaps not enough. Also perhaps maybe he just thought about making a few quick fgs during all these extra items. To be honest, jsp is hard making fg, everyone knows that. Desperation can do some odd things to the weak hearted and unfaithful. So lets hope our member comes around to his senses and picks that up and realizes where he is...
Though I will not deny the feeling of the efforts we have gone through picking up these meaningless items, taking up our own space during a cata, and filling anothers vault with them.. and then seeing this is a bit disturbing.
Personally.. this who new muting shit is way out of control.. MANY MANY people are quitting LS and selling gears at even a higher vaule of what they used to be, if you guys have not noticed. Prices have already went up (imo) about 20% for those needed items.
