I’m just gonna do the recap

1. The 40 days thing, It’s like ET saying EP3 is in the making and all of a sudden 3 months later it’s out without another word said by it, people would be taken by surprised.

Episode Three coming out is a much, much bigger event that a few items being discontinued.
And the surprise would be in the exact timing, not that it happened at all.
I’ve got Brownie Points set aside for Episode 3, just in case, even though the cost hasn’t been verified yet.
In other words, I’m planning ahead.

2. Just because it isn’t stated that there will be a warning when, we shouldn’t expect one? This game does have a tendency for “fixs” not to be well received but hell a flamebate post or updating the blog should have at least been given if something as big as items never ever appearing again, BEFORE they deleted them, not when they were talking about making item buildr.

First, there was a warning (as you agreed above), but not a specific time/date stamp. Second, if there is no indication or statement that a ‘heads up’ will be given, then bumuming that there would be a ‘heads up’ is just that, an bumumption. Making that bumumption instead of the alternative was the bad choice in this situation.

3. Well they appeared in the ppwn shop, and there really is no reason ET can’t slip them into all the ep2 shops, so I don’t know how that counts as a point

I missed that. When did they appear in the Ppwn Shoppe, and are you talking about the Balls or the moar file?

4 and 5. you and the other like 2-3 people seem that bought them, seem to think that buying them was a risk. I see betting 2 million in flezz on blackjack being a risk. a Item you guys were selling for the AH epeen, a Item you’d have 4 days (4 not 40) if a better item was going to come out, a Item that was making you flezz and peen at any price you were selling it? come on, did anyone really think the price of masterballs were going to go down, even if they did has something ever dropped by more then 50k?

In other words, I made an investment decision based on the bumumption that they would increase in price?
Yes, I thought it was more likely that the value would increase rather than decrease. If I thought the value would decrease… well, then I wouldn’t have made the investment.
You’re simply proving my point for me. I evaluated the situation, and chose to make an investment, and there was absolutely no guarantee that the investment would pay off, but it was still a smart investment. I expected perhaps a 20-30% increase in value, or if I was really lucky, maybe even 80-100%. I got lucky, and I hope it pays off as well as everyone seems to bumume it will.

6. You have your auction to prove it, 6 million. If ET had any intention of making item value jump up that much and flip make a p. big impact economy, that with the exception of you and the few others wanted to happen. Let him come say it.

How would that change anything? If he states that he did want it to sell for that much, then why not then ask him to increase the Base Cost appropriately, and then I’ll just sell them in the Ppwn Shoppe.
If he states that he didn’t intend for it to sell for that much, then how is this any different from the Pink Floyds and other moar files? IIRC, he’s previously stated that he didn’t intend or expect for them to sell for that much.

Really I’m done arguing on this, it’s never going to end.
All I want to know is, Will masterballs and dragonballs be in the ppwn shop or not Log in to see images!
I prefer not to know. Let people continue to speculate. It’s more fun that way.

I mean, seriously people. We, as players, have had to generate virtually every piece of ‘help & FAQ manual’ in this game, via the Wiki, for everything from what abilities are available for which clbumes at which times, what the Attributes do, what the maximum benefit from any Attribute is, the stats for moar files, etc., etc. ET has traditionally been quiet in regards to the specifics on many aspects of gameplay. I’m still not 100% sure on how the Ppwn Shoppe resale/purchase price versus Base Cost system works. And I’ve seen some items that have very similar Base Costs, but Frugality seems to have a different percentage effect on them. Hell, the fact that Frugality’s maximum benefit changed, twice IIRC, wasn’t announced.

Why do you want everything spoonfed to you? Did you go through the Trapped in the Cupboard sidequest on your own, or did you use the Wiki? What about the BubbleTroll Adventure? Did you check the Wiki for the best responses on all of your STalk conversations? What’s happened to having a few surprises along the way?

Besides, like I said. it’s more fun this way.
