EC has too many resellers! Bring back P99 auctions!

[schnickusaurus]

Tristantio i apologize, i did not mean bad. To be true, i like to be a little sharp when i make a point, abit dramatic , like painting my own Picasso. I personally like Ahungry, i used it probably among those who used it most of all on the server. My argument was just a gathering of what i have seen regarding how the lot behave. Again full cred to Ahungry, i cant complain i made millions plat partly with help from Ahungry [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"A bad ahungry"? - I concede it was in a bad spot when I had ads on, as no one really likes ads, but the site at it's peak has had 3x the unique monthly's p99auction ever had (and even when p99auction was going strong, I still had ~2k uniques a month).

Now that p99auctions is gone, it's jumped back up to 4k+ uniques (and growing daily).

The site also shows auctions from 0 to 60 seconds ago (I just update it once per minute vs a continous websocket stream).

Its good that people put their own sites up for the benefit of the community. The fat cats are ingrates for sure.

Swish you say 'fat cats' a LOT. Why? Who do you mean exactly? Do you mean resellers? You know, the ones that buy your stuff quickly so you don't have to wait, and who always have a selection of items so you can find what you want?
Would you prefer a system that forced you personally to hang out for hours trying to sell or buy? Do you think that people who provide that service to you are not entitled to some compensation?

Swish is similar to those raving religious zealots who can't help but relate everything in real life to a story, character, or situation from their holy book/scriptures. The difference is, Swish worships cats, so naturally he thinks in terms of cats.

By definition a "fat cat" is a derogatory term used to describe a large, lazy, gluttonous feline that refuses to share with his pride and instead tries to eat everything so the majority of the food is his regardless how much other members of the cat pride may be starving.

By calling people "fat cats", Swish is using this metaphor to describe how the greedy platinum farmers and pixel collectors behave regarding the p99 economy and other members of the community.

What Swish is saying is, The fat cat of the wild is similar to the "fat cat" player in EC.

I thought Fat Cat was a large, well-dressed feline with fiery contempt for rodents such as mice, chipmunks and of course rats. Always seemed like he just needed a good stroking to temper his rage. Poor kitty :/
