    Storytime!

    When I lived near Hollywood I would frequent a certain famous animation house with a mouse mascot's ice cream store. They sold LE pins of their various characters if you bought a certain sundae. When they previewed something that I knew would be profitable, I would go multiple times with friends/family and buy them the sundae, ensuring that I would have multiples of LE designs I could hawk on ebay/fb - some to make a quick buck and some to sit on to sell once their “set” was complete.

    Smart? I'd say so! It was pretty low effort and earned me a pretty penny. Greedy? I see no point in denying it. I was hoarding things that had a finite supply near exclusively for profit, and I cared about $ more then I cared about others having a thing they wanted.


    I don't understand why you can't imagine the possibility of being both. I know I was :3

    Everyone is entitled to their own perspective, and thx for sharing that story. What I think most people misunderstand is that the word greed is implied as a perspective of someones actions and success.

    A person who brags their success from the start, implies how they took advantage to get recognition is what I could be see as greedy, ( those shouting constantly for example to join FC with multiple plots ) however those who stay quiet, build trust with the consumer as is on equal terms of negotiation is what I consider smart.

    Another example of debate would those honest players who grind and earn their achievements and those who use RTM services. So how would you categorize those? are they both in a way the same as well?

    Look we may have our differences and probably based on our experiences our judgement may be based on that, however any way you see it life in all aspects is a business decision. Everything has a cause and effect. Those who missed and opportunity can only really blame themselves or place the blame on someone else to lessen the blow of their short comings.

    No matter the perspective, greed is greed. Period. Right or wrong, it's greedy. You, and others who have done similar things, were not breaking any rules and in all likelihood won't be punished. That's fine. You did nothing wrong from a ToS standpoint. Ethically? Not exactly the best thing to do. Don't expect people to be fine with your taking advantage of a fairly limited system.
