Meaning of course the people that sells plat in game. Are they still around? Or did F2P/Turbine actions kill their business? No, I don't need any plat
just curious. It was quite irritating a couple of years ago when they spammed constantly via tells. So anyone seen any Asdfghjjj's or Qwertyui's hanging around mail boxes lately?

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that. I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

Maybe easy Plat drove them away or they only hang out on Korthos. I'm surprised they aren't selling "real" items now instead of plat. $10 per red dragon scale anyone?

Yeah you would think, and epic scrolls etc. There's some hard-to-get stuff in game that doesn't bind. And with the new large playerbase with players that are used to the DDO Shop, they should be making some money.

I'm actually not that surprised.
Plat is easy and fast to get. Scrolls aren't terribly *hard* to get, but they are certainly tedious to get and anything that takes a long time is going to have to have a very high real dollar price to turn a profit.
I just can't see that happening with any kind of reasonable $/hour rate.

Yeah but they have 100 kids getting 10 cents an hour. And they can just farm without finishing the quest/raid.

Remember most of the plat farmers are from poverty stricken areas of South East Asia a reasonable rate is a buck an hour or less.

I have been getting tells on all my toons for the last month with 1cp attached from random names like sgfhkbsgf promoting plat sites.

Breaken's just a weird asshole, divorcced and pathetically marvelling at talk of sex. That guy is fucked IMHO. People I really don't like here list is small. Not that you or anyone should care, but for me it is Calvet, because he's stupid in a bitchy drama way, and Breaken, but he is a liar and a blunt, inelegant angry guy
