I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to go through life saddled with such envy.

wanted to check what DPS and APS does the best staff in the game have, on XYZ, and stumbled upon the guy's shop thread.

fuck trade.
I think I'll be officially going back to self-found.

seriously, imagine a situation where one person in one nation, will be owning and controlling all the natural resources and industry of the entire world.
that's what it looks like.

I hope that "economy" thing works out well for you guys, because I'll be damned if I ever go near it again.

EDIT: here's my follow-up post from below, to clarify:

What's wrong with someone working for years to build something and then benefiting from it?

I understand a lot of people are extremely socialistic and I respect their views, but if he didn't cheat and did indeed do all the work, what is wrong with him being successful?

he worked a system, which is fundamentally flawed.
that's the problem.

economy has its limits. there will likely be at least one Billionaire per industry: one for steel, one for gas, one for oil, a couple for software and so on.
comparable to Path Of Exile, economy should look like this: one guy with the best dagger. one guy with the best AR chest. one guy with best bow etc'.

AXN's shop? that's like one man came in, bought out all the other Billionaires and took over everything.

sure, a big part of it is jealously.
I bought a bad-rolled Astramentis for my build yesterday, and for a brief moment felt like a kingpin - while this guy is likely doing multiple-hundred Exalt deals each hour.

but an "economy" which allows that to happen, equals crap.
despite all of GGG's efforts and precious economy-centric balance and design.

truth be told, I never liked the fkn "economy" in the game, so seeing things like this makes it even easier for me to hate the system.
yes, the system. the man is only a symptom.

therefore, fuck trade.

I'm bringing this, as a good example why GGG should admit defeat in their precious "economy" BS, and finally focus on gameplay and stability, for cryin out loud.

The good ole innocent until proven guilty. That is a lost art these days in the state.


We mostly go by guilty until proven guilty.
