I had never even thought about you saying We before, and all of a sudden you mention it and the very next segment you say "we" no less than 4 times per sentence :p haha
ReplyDeleteBut I digress, I agree that cubs will be a fly by night thing that people don't care about in a week. It's not even in the same league as gold seller's prices so I don't think they were off base with their F.A.Q that said if someone wants to buy it to sale for in game gold they can and they like that vs. the person buying from a site, but it wasn't meant in any way to sneaky-compete with the gold sellers. I truly believe they were right in saying they just wanted to give people a chance to get it in game that don't have real money to spend
BTW, it was Jimmy that had the whitelisting, and that entire cartel has dissolved on the server now, literally none of the people involved post gems anymore.
'@PowerWordGold Interesting. 2k Cubs are on sale on US servers with a market price of 11k on average'
ReplyDelete2k Cubs - not 20k Cubs!
Y u no quote me well ?
Just kidding :)
But yeah I got my info from the Undermine Journal (on Nov. 4th in the afternoon, for reference)
Loved the show!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to chime in and tell this story. A couple months ago a rare Spectral Tiger showed up on my AH and I had enough gold to buy it! (220k) Clearly I used it. =D Since then, someone else saw I bought it before them and they're now in my Gem market. We talk a lot and are whitelist buddies on TSM now. =] That makes 2 peoeple I'm whitelisting in my Gem market, it's pretty nice. We often talk about some newbie in the market and 1 of them tries to get them out XD
Anyways, I always enjoy the podcast. Keep it up Flux and Faid~ <3

@Khalior My new favorite place to track the Guardian Cub prices is the new special Guardian Cub page at AHSpy.
ReplyDeleteO my 21 episode and I still didn't listen the first shame on me. :)
ReplyDelete@Alberthus99999 Feel free to skip the first one. ;) We've come a long way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another fine episode.
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed Faid's candid expression of her motivation and execution of several of her strategies, particularly her attitude towards her competitors.
Looking foward to the next episode ;)
Interesting money --> gold discussion @ the cubs. Im against micro transactions for various reasons. One of them being that i wanna play a game to beat it within the rules that exist in-game. Paying irl money for armor etc doesnt suite the way that im wired as a gamer at all!
ReplyDeleteFaids glyph experience made me laugh. The cooperation sounds like it could become very interesting to follow. Update us on how things develop!
