I'm confused, why is it considered rude to be a trader? Isn't he offering a service by collecting large quantities, slightly discounted to resale to others?
This offers newbs instant PED for lower quantities, makes some profit for the reseller, and saves significant time for the higher end purchaser.
See, games where I came from this wasn't considered anything to event vent about. People would buy cheap for quick sales, or they'd buy npc prices and list on auction for more simply for convienence to the next buyer.
The only ironic aspect of this game opposed to others I've been part of, RMT, or depositing as it's called here, is HIGHLY looked down and frowned upon in those games. I see it kind of ironic people are shamed for resaling, but it's perfectly acceptable to edge up over your competition due to depositing, where-as someone with lack of rl funds might not be able to afford to do so.
Anyone else see the irony?
So why again are traders looked down upon again? Why is that not a community accepted way of producing a profit? I just don't understand lol.
The mindset I come from is similar towards if you pay monopoly. I pay the banker a real life $10 to own Red all the way to Blue with Hotels on it. You can't afford that so I get the significant advantage. However, traders are using the ingame system to profit through negotiations of providing a service. While both are acceptable in this game, which one offers the significant advantage over many others? I just see irony as why one is ok, but the other is frowned upon.
