Actually, the fall started the week of January 21st, which was quite a while after the referendum was announced, for Sharks at least. Given the history of bots and shark prices, it isn't unreasonable to suggest that bots were a factor in the massive decline of the price (Sharks were stable at around 1k ea in 2006, until the peak of the bot problem, when they sunk to 600 ea. This happened to other resources, such as feathers and dragon bones, as well). It is unreasonable to suggest that they were the only factor. There's the previously mentioned power creep and the lack of demand; they aren't the best food anymore, and food isn't the best for healing.

Indeed.

Having an itchy bug bite right on the spot where my wrist rests on my desk.

I'm guessing bots are a big part of that, but member food prices could also have dropped because food is outclassed/useless at higher levels, and higher leveled players are the ones that control the market. Why do you need an inventory of sharks when you can use a unicorn, ~30m gets you an SGS, you've got (E)EE providing all the healing you need, or, hell, even bunyips. Plus, when was the last time that a slayer enemy was damgerous enough that you really needed food? Power creep's got quite a bit to do with it. Lower levels get cheap food for the same effect, though nowadays sharks are that food instead of, say, monkfish. F2P food was just made a lot easier to get, which benefits both free players and bots who want to farm these resources. There's a guy that notes your lobster for you on the Karamja dock, right? That makes it easier for bots, but also players, and the only people that buy lobsters are in F2P. I'm guessing lower leveled members could use them for cheap training food or for cooking training, but that's about it. Raw food's always been more valuable than cooked food; there's a huge amount of players that want their levels higher, but only so many people at a time need healing, especially in f2p. Rune is more than enough for most enemies. I did vote 'no', though. I'd have been happy with it if I knew that they made some effort with the problems that caused them to remove it in the first place, but even then it was clear that they hadn't. Of course, that's irrelevant to the bulk of this post :mrgreen:

Valve's Seattle-based I think, so PST/PDT.

This. What really matters is what is possible for you, though.

Especially since you've switched to Lei, and Mathu is more or less currently unused. I'd go out for revenge if he dies though. I kind of like him :razz:

The NPC who isn't picked? :twisted:

I don't intend to quit yet. I was spending a week in Flagstaff. I got back yesterday at around 8:30 PM PDT, around 3-4 hours after sessions usually end.

So, kind of like what they were thinking about doing with Landorus and Reuni and the like in the early days of it? Lati next? :razz:

Wait, why is Thundurus up for suspect?

1- Find Jimi 2- Ask where the restrooms are 3- When he turns around, stick a tiny soulgazer pin to the back of his uniform 4- Stick a "Kick me, I work for Dreamworks" sign on the back of his uniform 5- ????? 6- Luls ensue. Brb going on a trip to Disneyland.

You seem to have missed the "fanboy" part. Not worth making a list when I have limited experience with Wii games and you seem to have already made up your mind about it :razz: I wasn't talking about whether or not the Wii was good. I was saying that the Wii was successful. You don't like it, but apparently millions of others did. Why? It was easy to pick up and had family friendly games. Graphics aren't everything, apparently. The original point is that, while Nintendo is making a console that will apparently have current or better graphics, it's Sony and Microsoft that are focusing mostly on motion controls. Bash them all you like, they found something that sells extremely well and their competitors are rushing to emulate that and shoehorn it into as many games as possible. And again, if having next-gen graphics is that important, get a good PC.

And unless you're a fanboy, it shouldn't matter so long as you get a good game out of it.

Just like Sony and Microsoft are rabidly shoehorning motion controls in :mrgreen: Say what you want about Nintendo, I'm guessing they've had a hell of a lot more console sales than the other two. The majority of Wii games bight be [cabbage], but Nintendo proved that they could sell [cabbage] and come out ahead. Though I only really watched EA's conference, and even then only for Bioware's segment :ugeek: .

Figured I'd get in on this

Is this fast for a 3-man large? Especially since we ended up waiting the two minutes for the dg to autoend?

I know. I'm about halfway through Storm of Swords and going through the same kind of thing with my mother, who just started the book version of Game of Thrones.

That all depends on whether or not the developers themselves can resist milking the gimmick, though. Overuse of the touch screen is what killed Phantom Hourglass, and a game with motion controls can be unplayable if said controls don't work well. It looks like milking the gimmick is what Microsoft was doing with Kinect, though (And photorealistic modern shooters, but that's another topic entirely); if the little bit I saw of their conference was anything to go by. You have to give Nintendo credit for at least making new gimmicks to milk, amirite? :razz: Edit: Serebii has an image of it. I take back what I said about it, doesn't look entirely bad or unreasonable to play.

I'm interested to see how the human conflicts and supernatural conflicts blend later in the series. Would the nobles still be trying to screw each other into the ground when there are zombies (Or worse) killing all their people?

Seanbaby :mrgreen:

They should remove the report limit for regular players as well. I've always thought that's why they can get away with this; unless there's a Pmod nearby, it'll take half an hour to even send reports for all of those guys.

Sees_All1: Tip.It's #1 troll, and truly a master of the art. He sets the standard for trolling on these boards, and for that he has earned my respect. <3: Or, did you want serious ones? Best is a lot harder than worst. I honestly have no idea what the criteria would be. People that have truly, genuinely been worth aspiring to be? People whose contributions have changed the world for the better? The guy that always holds the door open for little old ladies? Do we want grand acts that changed the world or do we want the little things that show that there's good left in humanity? I really don't know. Could it be that, after years of pessimism and cynicism that, when faced with the concept of good, I'm left speechless? Probably. Will have to reflect on this.

It broke 4th gen enough to get in, at any rate, and I'm not sure if there are many new toys in 5th that can do much to it. Just a bit bitter after seeing a Scarfed one OHKO half my team with stone edge (Especially the Starmie that I usually use to counter any of those dragons). Around 500 speed (And with it just above base 100s) and just under 400 attack, just a tiny bit broken :razz:
