The rich get richer, the poor get screwed

Or people dont see money as something to sit around and they just wanna spend, if its there its gone if its not there, who cares?

This happens in every game that involves trading/bartering. Too many players are worried about how they measure up to the next guy when, in hindsight, it doesn't matter unless you're referring solely to PVP.

Play the game and enjoy it. If flipping isn't your cup of tea, don't compare yourself to someone who does it all day. That's apples to oranges.

I look at things a bit differently. I'm a casual gamer (hear me out) and I play this game casually. I don't have time to make a shop thread, spam trade chat, and trade people every so often. I'm not online enough to offer any kind of convenience to buyers.

Because of this, I will NEVER achieve the kind of wealth that dedicated player will. The only way for me to get an exalted orb is to save up my lower orbs for months until I can afford one. Eventually, I'll be able to afford a lioneye's glare doing this. The other option I have, is getting lucky in map runs. For example, soul taker dropped on a random low level map but it was assigned to another player. Nearly hit gold there, so it does happen, just not often.

A way to sell and trade items while offline would enable me to sell off my gear and at least earn some kind of higher income.

Don't get me wrong, I love farming gear and finding something myself. But in reality, I've had my current bow since level 50s and I'm not going to find an upgrade anytime soon.

my 2 cents.

EDIT: I'm not complaining for the record, I'm just showing how it is. I can't play as often as other people so naturally I'm not going to progress much further than level 80.

You don't really need to compare yourself, though, hell I don't give a damn what anybody else has.

That isn't going to stop the purposely placed content access gates telling you to fuck off and either trade-sim or faceroll MF.

Whether you give a damn or not what others have, it's in your face.
It's a mere follow on conclusion that this currency sink misses those that have but gates those that don't.

QFT, and it does make playing much more enjoyable (in my opinion). Unfortunately, not everyone can seem to get in this mindset.

The point was, this mindset or not, doesn't change the reality, it doesn't change the poorly placed currency sink, it doesn't remove one from the affects of poor game design.

This game inherited all of the Diablo 2 RMTers and if you think things are bad now... they are only going to get worse.

You complained first that your point wasn't refuted , then you ignore one who does refute your point. Content is not locked behind poor game design. Repeating that it is does not make it true. You do NOT lose currency by properly running maps.

Saying that you are not interested in comparing yourself to others and then using them as a benchmark for your success is a bit of a conundrum. If you in fact do not care what anyone else has, then you do not care if they have more or less. Arguing otherwise is ironic at best.

This goes for anyone. Ask yourself, "Am I enjoying my spare time?". If yes, then continue to do what you enjoy. If no, move on already.

@OP,

Why do you care what someone does to get their currency. Do you have to keep up with the J0nze$? Why do your types feel the constant need to police someone else? I'm not rich, at all, in this game, and I don't really care.

Are you going to go out, in real life no less, and try to complain about someone making too much money off of buying and selling something physically real item? You complain that it makes it harder for you to live if they do that.

Why do you care so much. Take your selfish attitude and go elsewhere, please.

Well, looks like you completely understood what I said.
