Anyway...you want to be a "Have"? Then become a "Have". The ONLY person holding you back AT ALL from that lofty objective...is you.
Well, depending how a "Have" might be defined (i.e. what the threashold may be...), I "might" be considered among the "Haves", I do not know.
I have my fair share of gold, artifacts, good housing, rares so, I am not in need for anything particular. I would have no problem to have vendors if I wanted to but my time nowadays in the game is limited and so I would have a hard time running after them.
Only the person willing and able to pay the price for that which they seek may have that which they seek. Another Universal Law. You can't have Something for Nothing...you can't have Freedom for Free.
I am discussing the issue with Bazaar vendors, like it or not, not because of personal reasons as often I am mistaken to post for, go figure why....., but because I genuinely think it would be the best and most proper thing to do for the game I play, Ultime Online.
Poor misunderstood Popps. Must be tough being you.
Remember...that is your Opinion. We all know that. You find it to be the
genuine truth. I can appreciate that, but unless there is some sound logic, and some kind of proof that your opinion IS the truth, I am going to just run woith "Popp's Opinion".
I just do not see why yet another vending addition in the game should go to those players who least need it (because they already have plenty of vending capabilities in prime vending locations...) and deprive of it players who might most need it (because they do NOT have prime vending capabilties...).
Need and Desire can be wildly different Popps. There are millions of people that NEED food, clothing etc, but not all that
NEED it
DESIRE it enough to actually
DO something about it.
I do not think the game needs to give some more to those who already have plenty of, I happen to be of the opinion that the right thing to do would be to make these Bazaar vendors available to those players who most need them which, as I see it, would be those players who do NOT have and have NOT had in the past months any prime vending capability.
The people that Have "Plenty of It" Earned the right to Have Plenty of It, Popps. I know I did. My message in my last post is this, and I will call it out quite plainly for you:
People Who REALLY Desire Prime Vendors and Who Are Willing to Work to have Prime Vendors Will Have Prime Vendors, as Long As They Never Quit Trying to Have Them.
The Right to own Prime Vendors is not a Privilege. It must be earned. Not everyone will want them. But, for those that have worked hard, and have the resources available should be able to have the right to own vendors if they want.
And for players that do not have the desire, and therefore do not want to pay the price (setting up their own vendors at their own house, renting a spot, etc.) should not just have the ability to have "something for nothing"...it devalues the
something in a big way.
I hope I have some rights to be entitled to my opinion about the game I play and voice it up, right ?
Oh, you can voice your opinion all day.
Just know that when I see flaws in your logic, I will spare absolutely no expense in pointing the flaws out...repeatedly. For just exactly as long as it takes.
Try looking for ways that ANYONE can succeed in the game, without having the game redesigned or re engineered to make it happen.
Redesigned ? Re engineered ?
The Bazaar vendors are NOT in the game as of yet. For all we know, they might not even be on the planning board yet and not even be added to the game........
I am discussing them just bringing a different perspective, early on, so that "if" the Developers decide to spend their time on them, they may consider, for the better sake of Ultima Online, a different perspective like mine to make them available mainly to players who have not had and do not have prime vending capabilities.
I strongly disagree that anyone, particularly those that have worked hard and acquired in game wealth should be precluded from anything like the hypothetical vendors you speak of.
That would be like telling Donald Trump he can't buy a hotel he wants, because he has too many and is just too rich. I can just see his face when he is told that the hotel he wanted to buy is being donated to homeless people, or people making less than $25K a year or something.
If any player already has a Vendor House in Luna, Zento or Magincia or have vendors there anyways whether at friends' or at a Guild House, why on earth would they also want to have a Bazaar vendor when there may be other players needing them way more since they instead have no other access to prime location vendors as they have ??
Again...Need and Desire are very different. The player that already has vendors may or may not want the "Bazaar Vendors". One compelling reason they may want additional vendors is "New Markets". The vendor may be able to sell items at the new location that weren't selling at the current vendor house. That is one good reason. Market Share is something all merchants want,. and having more outlets, particularly outlets that may be new and different is always appealing to retailers. I doubt anyone with vendors "across the street" would open a "Bazaar Vendor" then, but in a completely different locale than where they currently have vendors? I am sure some would want this opportunity.
Any player that works hard enough will have the in game wealth to acquire whatever it is they want. The ones that don't will not. 98 out of every 100 people will retire on Social Security at best, while two will retire financially independent. This is a fact.
Not everyone wants to have vendors, and those that do want them bad enough can have them wherever they want to have them.
Of course you missed that point in the first post, so I felt the need to reiterate it again for your edification.
I mean, I just would find it absurd to perhaps see a player owning a House full of vendors across the road from wherever these Bazaar Vendors will be allocated (if they ever will be added to the game that is...), and see this player also have Bazaar Vendors there on top of all of the vendors this player might have in that House across the road from them...... And this, when there may be players in the game who have no prime vending capability in the game.
Anyone who wants prime vending capability can have that capability. Those that don't want it bad enough will never have it.
You seem to think the game needs to preclude people that have worked hard and have acquired in game wealth, in the hopes that someone that has not demonstrated enough desire to acquire in game wealth can have the chance to have the vendors they may or may not want.
Now THAT is an absolutely Absurd thought process. Absurd, fo shizzle.
I am sorry, but that is not something I could possibly agree with. Nothing to some players and too much to others ? No thanks.
Look around yourself, Popps. Look at the real life people in your community. It is no different in game than it is in your city. Those that don't have that which they "want" simply have not developed an intense desire to have that which they want.
ANYONE in UO that WANTS a thing may have that thing, if they Desire it strongly enough, and follow through with action until they get it.
Weak Desire Brings Weak Results.
Giving something to someone that has not earned it is a certain way for a thing to be squandered, as certain as the sun rises.
So...your "nothing to some players" is just the "Nothing" player demonstrating their lack of desire.
As soon as any player develops a burning desire to achieve a thing, and as long as they never quit trying, then that player can have what they choose.
I think you may want to teach new players how to develop a burning desire, instead of Gifting them with vendors they will not value as much as a player that has worked for their abilities and assets.
That is my opinion, Popps. But it is also the fervent opinion of a guy who spent 25 years of his life studying success and acquiring wealth, while interviewing over 25,000 people to do so. A guy named Napoleon Hill.
