I agree, vendor fee's will always be. Like Flutter, I don't miss that money if I truly never had it to begin with.
Vendors will ( Or the people 90% of them ) will always over price and undercut the Jones's yadda so forth and what have you. And why do people over time never change the over priced item? Well, I have asked this very question. It's because of GREED. People will not come down off of a price out of sheer greed. Why when Joe Blow from Tokohoe got X amount for it 5 months ago then why cant I get the same price today? Some people wont budge. Bottom line. And then there are some who just give up and get tired of seeing it themselves on the vendor and charges that they will eventually come down on price.
I do for people out of heart. Some things I have had I have stayed firm on. I have gone above and beyond for people in this game, one in particular, out of my own pocket. I had nothing to gain. I did it because I cared. I appreciated the effort that was being done and I understood what it was going to take to accomplish. I helped. I got burned in the end because no heart was given back. Greed took over and the thoughtlessness I put forward in the beginning needed not matter at that point. Was the almighty dollar to this person. What could that person get for it even though I did a selfless thing for him. No full circle there. Hasn't changed how or who I am. But there are only so many times.... I do work for people I get no compensation for. I never ask nor do I want it. To me, who I am in real life is to close to who I am in game. SO, to have myself or my family ( Yes REAL FAMILY ), KFC is a family run guild, downed with untruths or rumors. I mean pls, Go off of experience and not rumor. I swear most people in the game is Joey pulled Susie's hair. Grow up. Some body always has something to prove. Now I'm side tracking.
I love this game been here right after its conception on different shards and servers prior to this game. Hell, Good ole' Kinghen and I met thru this game in 1999 and we have since married. But neither here nor there. But over time, the common greed factor takes over so many. People have lost heart, compassion, worth. Its all about that gold coin and how much of it can you get. I get very frustrated when I ask someone what something cost and I get the common response. Because it went for, I must get the same. No friendship, no common bond, no relation, No guild buddy, I can go on, does not matter. I wish people would just do to do. And not because Mr. Jones got for it.
My 2 cents. Take em for what their worth.
