Why wont people work with you

So I decided to log on today and set up a level 90 extractor for some small profit while I played Vindictus and whatnot.

Lo and behold, I see someone with one up already at 2500 mesos. I set mine up at the exact same price, 2500, and AFKed. I came back an hour later and his price was still the same. Swell!

I quickly checked my profits and, while I did this, some stupid 17X mage came along and set up her extractor for 1000... I whispered her telling her to set it at our price so we could all share in the profits. Nothing.

So I set mine at 750. She whispers me back: "fine, fight with me over prices" or something like that...

She goes to 450.

So, me being the tired and morning-angry person I am... set it at 1. She continues to whisper me with the same thing and even goes as far as to tell her magician friend that it was my fault for starting this "silly price war".

Needless to say, she sets her's up for 1 meso and we're at a standstill, none of us making any profits.

Why are people so stupid and inconsiderate? How fricken hard is it to share proftis between three people? Sharing between two, early in the morning, netted me 1m mesos in under an hour... I could easily part with another few hundred K an hour if I had to. >>;

Seriously... some people. -_-

[quote=lFirel]@infferrno: uh does being afk in the dojo entrance count as being afk?[/quote]

Yes but that's just luck. I went AFK in the FM, I went AFK in ch 2. I've been AFK everywhere... No where is as good as ch1 crafting town. I'm up to 1.8m. o-o

Wow, low profits. I reel in 4-7 mil if I put an advanced one up overnight. xD

@lFirel: Um. You forget that I'm AFK and check hourly? Yeah. Well while he was dojoing, I was eating ordering books online and playing Vindictus...

Also, she ended up with like 250 mesos. Nothing really. I ended up making 1.5m today AF{K}ing. Not bad work.

@lFirel: You would be a horrible business manager too. Move somewhere else? That's what I did yesterday. 24 hours later? 100k profit.

On the other hand, I outlasted my opponent, she packed up and left, and I ended up raking in all the mesos. 317k in an hour. Minus the hour I had to battle with her? 160k per hour so far. Over 24x better than going to Ch 2 or the FM.

[quote=FIameSiege]I completely agree. Some jerks have 20B total and they just can't spare you 10k to start off on a new account.[/quote]

Just because some people have over 20b doesn't mean they HAVE to spoon feed you, and that doesn't make them jerks. I'd rather tell them how to make money on their own rather than spoon feeding them and giving them money. Some appreciate it some others get pissed, well their problem. People are just too gullible and prefer to pull their arm out and wait for a coin to drop in it. Seriously, it isn't hard to make money in this game. It ain't rocket science to go as low as to be begging for money. 10k isn't even needed to start an account and reach lvl 35 to make a good 13m (GFA 60% Broa price). By lvl 40, you can do the Ludi tower quests, if they even exist still, for another 13m.

Edit: now with the new mining stuff it's even easier. 1k for a 10 minute mine. Sell all the plates for 500k etc. You guys are just too lazy to suck the juice out of the market lol.

@karmamayne: That... is genius...

Lol. Apparently her Extractor expired and she left... I bet she's busy making another one as I type. Oh well.

I look at the girl's equips and chairs... just with her chairs alone, she has more funds then me... I'm sitting there wearing a fricken Black Wings hat and nothing else and she won't even let me get part of the profits? -_-
