Some die-hard pre-07 merchers would disagree, even if they haven't even tried GE-merching. Honestly, I just don't like the fast pace this game has taken. Not really a fast-paced type of person. today, you can make around 3-4% profit every 4 hours regardless of your capital in 2006, yeah, you could make 20% profit in 4 hours... if you were talking like 20m capital. if you had 500m in 2006, you were lucky to get 2 or 3%. on top of that, you had to physically be logged in and typing, whereas with the ge you can place your offers, then either log off or go kill some bosses for even more money.
