Undercutting

[DefendPopPunk]

I don't see a problem with under cutting.

It's been a part of mmos for years and it's not going to change.

<sarcasm>Oh dang why didn't I think of that. It's always been done so there's no problems guys. I should use this on anyone who's ever been discriminated against.</sarcasm>

You're comparing undercutting using virtual currency in a computer game to discrimination.

A cynical person may say you just threw that word in there to try to add weight to your argument.

I'm sure you wouldn't do that though.

I figured you might say this. As ridiculous as a comparison as it seems, so is the justification that you used. You're right, I could have used any word. The fact is, "it's what always happens" doesn't excuse any type of behavior solely on that basis nor does it mean that there isn't a problem with said behavior. It's too bad that point is so easily distracted from lol. And a cynical person might say you used the old "don't compare games to real life" card, but I'm sure you wouldn't do that though.

This is the most ignorant comment I've read in a long time. And that is saying something, considering I've read a couple of posts by that whiny kid who got banned recently...

What's your point? I shall edit my post to make it clearer for people like yourself.

Please don't bother. My point was obvious. Your's isn't worth the bits with such an inane comparison.

Then thank you for taking the time to attack me personally rather than add to the discourse. Exit is that way.

Any time, bub. You're welcome.

So how would you fix undercutting? break some legs? force people to comply? Standardize prices? If someone is desperate to get rid of an Item, they'll sell it for less.

Almost like supply and demand work in game...

Did I say anything about fixing undercutting? If you had read any of my posts, I didn't say anything about fixing undercutting. My big deal is undercutting by massive amounts for no good reason (like in the OP's example). Also, the post you quoted was a (failed) attempt at hyperbole to show that saying "we've always done it" is not a good reason to excuse any kind of behavior. Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of supply and demand (read my earlier post? lol). I feel I've already addressed this. So, to reiterate, it's understandable to undercut reasonably (open to interpretation, of course), but undercutting by massive amounts for no good reason is a problem with undercutting. So, saying there's NO problem with undercutting is just flat out wrong.
