Oversimplifying and extremizing someone's points because you can't counter his original ones is called "strawman argument". Google it. Second hint: It doesn't help your side.



Refuting your points (which aren't "facts" by any stretch of the imagination) doesn't equate to ignoring them, and even less to "lying".
Wasn't simplifying or extremizing your arguments, I was summarizing.

Example: You're saying things like "you should study the economy" "this isn't rocket science", your responses are basically telling people they're stupid.



and as far as the lying thing goes, basically your first 3 points in the very first post are lies.

"1: It's basically the most socially balanced way to charge for a MMORPG." You're saying some people should pay for other people, how is that balanced at all much less the most balanced way?

"2: The only ones that lose out from this arrangement are the gilsellers" The people who really lose out here are people who don't have a lot of money and can't sell play time.

"3: It's not (as some erroneously think) a cause of inflation, as no gil is actually inserted into the market. It causes no inflation in the games where it's implemented." This is really stretching the truth as it doesn't look at the whole picture.

Like I said earlier, it may not add to inflation but it concentrates the money (just like what has happened to the real economy) The same amount of money is still there but it's sucked out of normal people and then horded by a small %. What happens now is when you go to buy mind materia it used to cost 20k but now it's 200k and your rate of income hasn't increased.




Only 2 people benefit from this idea, people who want to play for free and people who want to dominate without actually doing anything. Everybody else loses out.

And really dude, maybe if you actually played the game you'd be happier with the system in place. Member on the forums since march 2011 and you have over 2k posts but only 2 classes at 50? Seriously dude?
