How to keep on PLAYING?

You are comparing incomparables. I just dropped over 100 chaos orbs on a spree to try to get a good hammer and ended up with nothing. The value of those chaos was exactly 0. They were worth 0 sitting in my stash as well.

The only time they have value is when you get something for their use, either in trade or in application.

The fusings you used were worthless before you used them and worthless after you used them. You lost nothing.

If currency had no value, you wouldn't use them, you wouldn't even call it currency. Nor should it exist in the first place. Next time you want to make a point, make sure it makes sense.

Currency has an ephemeral value. Unless you trade it for goods, it is worth nothing. Shags is a self found player, so the currency was only a tool for him. Sitting in his stash, it had infinite potential, but zero realized worth. After use, it turned out to have zero worth. Unless you were going to trade your fusings for goods, the same applies to your currency.

For fucks sake, you honestly believe this?

Those chaos' had plenty of value while they were sitting in your stash. They had exchange value. They had use value. The only time a chaos orb is value-less is after you have expended its use value and it no longer exists. You can, through RMT (which is against the rules obviously), use chaos orbs to put real food in your real mouth, even without blowing them on a hammer. I'd call that value.

@OP: try just one more fuse!

They had an "exchange value" of zero... because I wasn't exchanging them.
They had zero "use value" because I wasn't using them.
You don't understand "value".

Thanks for trying. I gave up trying to explain stuff like this to idiots on the internet a long time ago. It doesn't help.

Given the concept of currency value some of you geniuses are utilizing, would you mind it if I came over to your house and just took whatever money was lying around?

Based on your statements it has no value, as it is not being exchanged, it is not being used, and therefore it is meaningless.

PM your address, I will be over tonight.

Seriously…reading some of these threads makes me wonder if only High School drop outs or C- Community College kids play this game…
