I dont share this info with everyone because it gives me an edge as a mentor. I dont own an MS so I need this edge. Let me ask you this - if you found a method of running beacons, or another tactic, that gave you an edge - would you share it with everyone? With the knowledge that it would say, increase the price of beacons, therefore making you lose your edge?
Generally, I don't have any objections to share information, unless it hurts someone (including the case, someone tells me something in private I'm not supposed to pass on) (and, no, I don't want to gain unfair advantages from bugs either so I didn't to things like server-border-trapping).
I play to have fun, not to make a profit.
As for beacons, I don't care too much about the market value of them. If there would come something that would change the values of beacons, I don't want to gain PEDs through speculation, nor do I have the finanical power to change value of beacons myself.
And no - I don't have any kind of mothership/hangar ship. The space compatible vehicles I have is Vtol mk2(L) and Quadwing(L), with thruster (L).
Beside from a calypso land deed I bought entirely with deposited money, I don't have anything in game that's a "profit machine" - not a single adj/imp/mod item.
It seems that you and several other people ASSUME that offering speed grad some how equals that I dont teach or anwser disciples questions. I dont understand this, do you truly believe that a new player would just blindly follow orders from a mentor who didnt anwser questions and give other guidance to them? It dosent make sence if you think about it.
You may be a good mentor, but 15 hours may be too short ingame time to answer the type of questions that a player may ask, I guess you offer the opportunity to take the time after graduation also.
One other thing, not all new players are ready to deposit 300 PED from day one. Maybe they want to begin to play for free (sweating) and have a mentor from the first day (telling them how to sweat, where to sweat and maybe even take them there, and how to sell the sweat), and even if they deposit, want to begin calmly with the minimum 97 PED deposit.
