...For your sake, I hope that was a bad joke. Actually, it was a pretty amusing joke. Meh, to each his own then. I don't find "jokes" about bodily harm amusing, and I'm not entirely sure he meant it as a joke to begin with. :unsure: The fact that many CEOs and other top business leaders are considered "great people" is due to the fact that they're successful in what they do, so they're viewed as role models of a sort. Propaganda, no doubt, also has a hand in it, and this interview is only one more example of this. *This isn't to say that all business leaders are corrupt, of course, as many have achieved what they have on merit alone, and this is important to remember.* The same principle doesn't apply to ingame manipulation clan leaders, however, as legitimate merchanters don't attempt to influence item prices directly. You are going to tell me there is something real about an exec making 250m per year? It means about 5m per week or, with working 140hrs per week (4hrs sleep per day), about 36k per hour. There is no way someone actually earns that, it is robbing any company blind.

The one thing about most comments I don't understand is this: If it were that simple as most of you tell it is, why aren't there more people engaging in merchanting? The other thing: Why, if thìs in a virtual game is morally bankrupt, CEO's of rl companies making 250m per year are seen as 'great people'? Remember Madoff? Celebrated for a long, long time...

This is somewhat funny because it mentions in the WGS quest journal: "One of the first of the Fremennik tribe touched the Stone and it changed them drastically... this is how they became Lunar mages." It would seem the Stone of Jas has the power to change things/creatures. Now consider this; if there is this awesome power contained in the Stone of Jas, enough power to change living matter, wouldn't it be possible the Stone of Jas is the 'life giver' to dragons?

To be honest: I love it. Reminds me of range, well, the falcon hunting part at least. Where I will end up? 99 probably, don't know how long that will take though. --Simple--
