1) I don't run vendors - unless you have a spot in, or very near to, Luna, it's a pointless exercise. Before I left the last time (2007), I played the auction game, sometimes well, sometimes not. Since I have been back (less than a month), I have seen zero auctions listed, and no signs of any on the horizon (Lake Superior).
2) If you are paying 35k per for Perfect Emeralds, you have really lost it. LS, which has a much smaller population, still only averages 10k per for mined ML gems. And they aren't scarce.
3) As I mentioned in my prior post, there are at least 3 other methods/items which will achieve the same results, and with a gargoyle, are actually cheaper than the hammer method. So posting this won't do anything to bolster the scripters - they had this figured out within days of release, and have had it exploited ever since.
4) You, paying their prices, or competing/charging the same prices they do, does nothing but encourage more of the same. I, on the other hand, refuse to pay those prices, knowing that, before I even rolled an imbuer, they were charging at least a 150% premium, and quite possibly higher. These are the same people trying to make 7-10mil on a 120 imbuing PS...

So until the day EA/Mythic announces that anyone can exploit/script/ do whatever they want and not worry at all about getting banned i will continue to pancake about this kinda BS. Because i follow the rules and its not right that others don't because they could give two sh$%'s about there own account.
I just re-opened 2 of my accounts. One, if it had been left open, would be hitting 12 years this month. The other is over 7. Both are clean, and will remain so. As I said, if EA/Mythic decides this is actually an exploit, then I will most certainly encourage people to not do it, just as I actively encouraged people to NOT smelt BoD's for iron ingots back when that was possible. As it stands, that announcement has not been made. So I have made enough to cover 5 complete suits, and that's all I intend, and ever intended to, produce. And I certainly don't appreciate the insinuation that I am a cheater of some sort.

But please be my guest... continue to flame away
I don't recall having posted a single flame in this post. However, you have been awfully fast to accuse me of being an exploiter, after openly admitting that you actively visit scripting sites... PKB much?
