1K per 20? That would be stupid and underpriced XD I think runes are healthy at 2.5-3K per 20

I was making a reference to a per 10 price I got once~


Greed is bad. Nobody cares. /thread

Cheesecake 08-03-2011 02:00 PM

I think it could be 1-3k for 20 runes.
>w<. But it depends on the seller.
I'd sell mine for the price I bought them.
Maybe a little higher. XD

Cheesecake 08-03-2011 02:00 PM

I also will buy them for 200 aurum per if need be.

If you ever gave it some thought, greed is wanting something you don't have right? Have you ever wanted a certain boy/girl to like you? Or what about affection from your parents? That's greed believe it or not. It is neutral, it's just how you view it.

Hermes 08-03-2011 02:08 PM

I think runes cost so much because only a few people have them~

Did you know, you -can- just put a five in the mail and send it to Trisphee? Grats, yer very own runes XD You pay for convenience by paying aurums for them~

I wouldn't compare those two things to being greed.
BY DEFINITION:

"Greed is an excessive desire to possess wealth or goods with the intention to keep it for one's self. Greed - like lust and gluttony - is a sin of excess."

Those two examples CAN'T be compared to this in any way...so if you are comparing wanting someone to like you it sounds like you are wanting them to commit to you or get your parents to only love you and forsake everyone else.

Well, I have donated to sites by mail before and the last time I did it...I waiting MORE than ONE MONTH to get them.

Hermes 08-03-2011 02:13 PM

I think I see why you two will continue arguing forever XD

Illusion makes beautiful points as a seller~

Cheesecake makes valid points for the buyer side~

I don't see this conversation ever ending. Considering locking this XD

Cheesecake 08-03-2011 02:13 PM

Hell yeah, I will. XD
>w<.

I mean no disrespect or anything, though.

You copied that off of wikipedia didn't you? XD
Well all I can say is that everybody has desires, it just depends on the strength of the person to know when enough is enough.
I'm entitled to my opinion so :/

But think of this, think of a world without greed. And really think about it, a world were nobody has a desire to keep something.

Hermes 08-03-2011 02:20 PM

Well, everyone but me would prolly die.

We all know Hermes is immune to world

Yes, I did and it also is stated in a dictionary that is beside me. I think you are kind of mixing up your words a bit. GREED is an EXCESSIVE OR REPETITIVE DESIRE. Not just a desire. Wanting something really badly is not greed, it's lust. And the world without greed would be a bit better to me because there wouldn't be as many poor people if everyone was kind, hard-working and generous.

Hermes 08-03-2011 02:22 PM

Greed is the desire to have and to hold all things, especially those you do not have~

Gluttony is the want for excessive amounts of specific things~

Lust is the desire for pretty things and the like, at any cost~

Combine all three, and you have classic human error ^_^

Lust can be pointed toward anything, it doesn't have to be pretty. >w<.

And I agree, ALL seven deadly sins are pretty much making America a pig sty. If we eliminated it, we'd be on the top of the world like we were.

Likewise, no disrespect or anything. I argue about this stuff intensely because I wonder what the world would be like without an emotion and or desire.

I can respect that. But, you are throwing greed in as desire. I can imagine a very pitiful world without desire and emotion.

Hermes 08-03-2011 02:31 PM

It is not lack of Sin we need, it is a new abundance of virtue.

Do you own an extra pair of shoes? Let me ask- If you saw a homeless person in need of shoes, and you knew you were going home to an extra pair, and yours just might fit, would you walk home without shoes to make sure they would not go without again? No, you'd give them a dollar maybe.

When you walk past a homeless man on the way to McDonald's cause you feel like eating out, do you often buy him lunch, too?

I think everyone should just be homeless for 2 weeks. I would love to see that. I was for months, and you know what?

I buy that homeless man lunch all the friggin time.

If your neighbor's door was busted, and you could fix it or knew someone that could, would they have to mention it before you called?

If you get more change back than you should have, do you say anything? If a kid kicks a rubber ball ito your yard, do you take it to them, or make them come get it?

When a new person moves in, do you say hello, go back to your house? Or do you maybe invite them to come eat with you sometime?

I want the 1800s back XD

Illusion 08-03-2011 02:35 PM

THAT WAS THE WORD I WAS LOOKING FOR! Virtue. XD
It's been a while since I've heard it. Which is sad :/

Hermes 08-03-2011 02:37 PM

Because many associate virtue with weakness these days.

I think everyone should just be homeless for 2 weeks. I would love to see that. I was for months, and you know what? It would be fun, if it weren't hot. I mean fun as in doing something different. Of course I wouldn't be happy with not bathing or brushing my teeth, but I am sure the homeless people aren't either.

I buy that homeless man lunch all the friggin time. YOU GO, HERMES~!

If your neighbor's door was busted, and you could fix it or knew someone that could, would they have to mention it before you called? Nope. >w<.

If you get more change back than you should have, do you say anything? You got me on this one, I am evil person. If a kid kicks a rubber ball ito your yard, do you take it to them, or make them come get it? Yes, I would.

When a new person moves in, do you say hello, go back to your house? Or do you maybe invite them to come eat with you sometime? Invite them to come eat lunch or something. Say hello and try to be friends.

I want the 1800s back XD
I like my 2011.
>w< Most because I was born in 1996. XD

Just about answered your questions.
XD

Hermes 08-03-2011 02:41 PM

Woot~! Someone took me completely literally XD

Cheesecake 08-03-2011 02:41 PM

LOL. (:
Yay~

Suzerain of Sheol 08-03-2011 03:10 PM

If you'll all permit me to get back to the original topic, the issue is always going to be that Runes cost actual money. Add that to the fact that anyone who likes the site enough to donate is likely a frequent poster, and the prospect of selling Runes for Aurumn isn't all the appealing, given how easy Aurumn is to obtain. Meaning that it's more or less a gift to the community, and one that requires both a generous person and that person having the financial means to do so.

Once I manage to get some money together, I fully intend to start donating regularly and selling/donating all the Runes I get from that. But, I'm at least in a position where I can do that. A lot of people either can't donate, since they're too young, or can't afford to, which has the doubled effect of both making Runes extremely rare and hurting the site monetarily. Conversely, anyone who donates is both helping the site stay afloat and helping the community, if they distribute their Runes rather than hoard them.

And then you get back to the greed issue....

Hermes 08-03-2011 03:31 PM

I think everyone who does not have will always see those who do as greedy

I think those who do have will always see those who do not,and expect charity, to be beggars

I think neither side is right XD

Caramel Flan 08-03-2011 03:33 PM

I don't view people who hoard runes greedy. XD. They paid money for them, let them have runes just like someone saying: "Let them eat cake."

I seem to have gotten the runes I have wanted, so I am through for right now.
XD

Hermes 08-03-2011 03:35 PM

That was a very improper use of that quote, love XD

Suze, do you see a reason for this topic to exist?

Caramel Flan 08-03-2011 03:40 PM

LEAVE MY USEAGE OF QUOTES ALONE.
/runs off crying.

I think it should be locked now.
XD

Suzerain of Sheol 08-03-2011 03:54 PM

I think everything that can be said on the topic has already been said. 12 pages is a pretty long time to go in circles on this subject. I'm not gonna tell you to lock it or anything, though, that's outside of my purview. ^_^

Hermes 08-03-2011 04:02 PM

I'm just thinkin....I know people have been really good so far, but I really don't want to see some random rage post just haning about...

Demo 08-04-2011 10:38 AM

Okay what is wrong with people now? Paying and or selling runes for 3k per 10? This is crazily unfair! Whats worse is that people are willing to pay that much forbthis months items -.-

Nightmare 08-04-2011 10:41 AM

Demo (because I know that's somewhat targeted at me), the only reason I bought them was because I wanted them for the item giveaway I'm in. :U

Demo 08-04-2011 10:45 AM

Thats still insane and higly unreasonable. And its ticked me the hell off that I have witnessed it. Cause newer greedy people are gonna follow that and then there goes the exchange.

littl3chocobo 08-04-2011 10:45 AM

it's crazy when it happens though, this is only the second time i saw prices get weird, though the last time it was a dip not an influx, though for sure next month will be a lot better, i think the extra colors did it honestly, have you seen all the rave hair?

Nightmare 08-04-2011 10:47 AM

Choco has a point.
Lucid did also mention it.
With more colors comes higher prices.

Nommy 08-04-2011 10:49 AM

omg o__O 3k for 10 runes? it's crazy price ~ is this month items worth it ?

Demo 08-04-2011 10:52 AM

That should have no affect and is no excuse. Taking advantage of an influx of buyers is not a very appropriate action.

So what if there are a couple extra colors. If thats whats cause the camotion I wish we had the normal amount of colors. -.-

That's... why we asked everyone what their opinion on it would be. We knew what the effect on the market could potentially be and we wanted the users to decide which outcome would be preferable -- a more awesome item, or an inflation in the cost of runes for the month.

littl3chocobo 08-04-2011 10:58 AM

well i don't speak for every seller or buyer but if an item /seems/ worth it why shouldn't they pay what they will? you do still need to look at both sides


honestly i think /this/ item is worth the price and if i would buy it for 6k why would i not sell it for the same price?

Demo 08-04-2011 10:58 AM

Well damn I was not even aware that it would have an affect anything near this. Honestly I am so pissed about it because the exchange is my home... When that galls to crap so does the rest of the community. -.-

Demo 08-04-2011 11:00 AM

Choco the reason is that it grossly upsets the balance of trade! If people buy the runes to buy only that item, the other item becomes more scarce and the its price will skyrocket out of proportions when it is gone!
