!!!!Merchant!!!!

[helmker]

From past experience I have learned that story have to be short for alot of people to take the time to read them. So in that theme I made a poem short and meaningful. Hope you enjoy and like always please post any comments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merchant

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merchant I pity thee

 

 

 

Why oh why canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t you see

 

 

 

Buying low and selling high

 

 

 

You steal money and even lie

 

 

 

Your way is mean and even wrong

 

 

 

Stop your doing itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s been to long

 

 

 

Leave the bank, go out, go play

 

 

 

Experience the land thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s all I say

Fair poem but if you keep it all in one post people find it much easier to comment about them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep up the good work though

hahaha funny but thanks i just keep merchanting 8)

[dragoncmd]

intresting...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortuanetly the idea of people not merchanting would take out the most important thing keeping 99% of the money out of the hands of the top 5000 people (based on total lv or how good of a pker they are).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now write one about scamming.

[someone_els]

That is the most stereotypical poem about merchants I have ever read. Merchants are commonly confused for scammer. GOOD merchants do not lie and scam. SCAMMERS do. And who's to say merchants don't train skills? I merchant, and I love to craft and smith. Don't assume that because you see many of us shouting in falador or varrock all the time means we are actually there "all the time"

dude its just a poem

[someone_els]

dude its just a poem

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I beg your pardon, its just a subject I feel incredibly strongly about. We don't "experience the land" you say? and those woodcutter spending their time in Seers' DO?? And what I dont understand most is why people say skill workers work harder than merchanters. That is the most absurd argument I've ever heard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lets say the number of clicks of a mouse to get woodcutting to 75 = number of keystrokes to obtain money for merchanting and to practice and learn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lets say for every click of a mouse, you get 2 magic logs. You clikck 14 times, get 28k.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A merchanter does this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Selling x stuff!!! 10K!!! -----Player name

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That takes 44 keystrokes by my count, assuming you are just typing in plain old yellow, without any special chat effects (which several merchanters use)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

World 1 or 2 being as busy as it is, you probably wont be heard the first time you say it, so lets say you type that in 5 time before getting a trader. Thats 220 keystrokes (again without special effects). This person will either give you exactly what you're looking for, or just be some scammer or other person you will ultimately decline with. Then you will have to repeat the proccess a few times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lets see... 14 clicks for one round of woodcutting, 220 keystrokes for one round of merchanting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who is doing more work, hm?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I'm sorry, again as I said, this is a subject I feel very strongly about :evil:)

[helmker]

Your clicking formula is very interesting and all :roll: but i dont care. Its a peom and if people who read it want to comment on it that would be great. But what i dont want is someone telling me merchants do more work because they click more. lol sorry if i have hurt any1s feelings lol.

ug, someone_els should drop it before somebody_else picks the topic up again.

 

 

 

Leave the guy alone He wrote it as a poem more than as a critique of merchanting lifestyle. I'm going to refrain from putting my two bits in on merchants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

actually, maybe I won't, It's a necessary evil.
