hippy communes were way over rated !
I grew up in that era of ANTI-ESTABLISMENT-ISM
The spouters of non conformity all conformed to the same things,
thus committing the vile act of conforming anyhow as non conformists
conforming to non conformism.
I opted to non conform to both the conformists
AND the non conformists both alike, back then.
Opted to use my OWN independant braincells,
for creating my own lifestyle.
Mob mentalities/ sometimes 'the majority rules'
rules, oft do not mean those neccessarily are the best paths, to take.
And some of them communal old hippie types,
seemingly spouting sparse living,
also went off the beaten path *alone*
to become billionares, creating new stuffs
like microsoft and window$$$ too !
I do not feel there is a way to control or nix the billion
trillion or million trading of EM items at all per say.
Wasn't it Barnum and Bailey whom once said:
A sucker is born every minute
And they ran, carnivals and circuses !
Come see the bearded lady with the lizard skin...
10 bucks enter the tent now to see this wonder of strange oddities !!!
And sure enough someone plunk down 10 bucks
to go see the bearded lady with the lizard skin !
Okkkkkkkkk whatever !!
Personally I do not feel once the genie is released out of the bottle
that ya can slap em back into their bottles again !
Even if we COULD do that, someone later on is gonna rub the bottle
and bring them genies will be back out of their captivity again !!
If they could restrict it to shard only, then those whom got some EM event on say Catskills, and then transferred over to Chesapeake,
they could not take their bluered purpley Catskills EM cat statue thingies over to Chesapeake when they transferred perma like.
My guild mate perma transferred from Catskills
with her EM Cat statue..
perhaps if something was ACCT BOUND as is, it is not,
so atm what would stop her from selling it, IF she wanted to do so ??
If folks have the gp to blow, and want to buy whatevers for trillions,
it's their money.
I DO NOT cuz I am just not into a lot of those things as it is anyhow.
Yet IF I saw some item that I DID want to buy and had the gp to blow,
I probably would blow the gp ON it, whatever it was
that maybe I was wanting to buy.
But then again when I see some silly pixel whatevers for trillions,
I think to myself, only a dummy might buy that item, [at those prices] !!!
It isn't me !
'Some' mega sellings of EM and other in game items, remind me of
*snake oil* salesmen at the carnie !! Sucker born every min !
Don't think there is any real way to control the *insanity*
that has become UO lately of pixel crack addictions
and the high prices some items will go for,
and what other folks may be willing to pay, for said items !
Im'a sure someone's gonna sell em
some swampland in Florida
or Trinsic Swamps
but ya never know, perhaps the buyer can put up a castle there
or someone maybe could strike oil, under that swamp, too !!
BUYER BEWARE !
