All the guy did was play the economy, theres nothing dirty* about it. Its what stock brokers do.

I say this knowing nothing personal about the guy or any past shady deeds he may have commitied.

But you can't give him crap for doing this. This is something that should* be done. Charging below the equilibrium price (which is the price set by the demand for the item and the current supply of it) is unhealthy for the economy.

Hiptaru is the my LS leader, and to respond to this, I am sure he will do whatever he wishes with the money, that being helping out his LS mates, or not. He is a good guy, and drops pretty much whatever he is doing to come along and help us with anything we need.

That being said, I personally can agree that what Hippy did was slightly on the dark side of things, but Games imitate life, and almost every rich person IRL has done something a bit shady b4. I myself would have done the same thing Hiptaru did if I had the startup cash to do so, and if he need's help I would even buy a few astral rings to help him corner the market.

(I can feel the rate downs coming for this bard.)

Lastly, I'll leave you all with this... the current going price for astral rings is now 300k and hovering quite nicely. Get this, the last 5-6 sold havn't even been Hiptaru's, so for all of you ******** about him raise the prices, it's funny to me that people are taking advantage of it.

I just can't believe everyone is still discussing this >_<

I'm slipping this in so that anyone who has 50 seals and feels like taking a gamble can get an Astral themselves. I don't think I'd want to waste 50 seals on such a gamble, but if you really want an Astral, this is a way you can get one yourself ;)

***** and moan, ***** and moan... is that all you people do? Okay, so yeah, Hiptaru is a douche. Big deal. There will always be someone doing something to irk you or someone else. DEAL WITH IT!
That's life people. You will never be perfectly content, so stop your whining. Plenty of us have done similar things like this in the past, imported Leather Armor to bastok since it sells twice as high there, bought an item that someone was selling cheap on the AH or in their bazaar and resold it for higher. This is the way things go. Hiptaru is only the latest douche in a long line of douches to come. Two months from now, when things have settled down, no one (hopefully) will care about this or remember it. So.... GET OVER IT ALREADY!

Glad to see the madness from the main board has reached our safe haven here.

so thats where the astrals went... you know, if you take the "Kyle's Mom is a *****" song from South Park, and change the words to "Hiptaru is a Douche" it actually works out pretty well.

So.... anyone ever seen a cat with 9 toes on one foot?
#87 Dec 14 2004 at 2:34 PM Rating: Good
No, but my cat is a Hemmingway Cat which means he has 6 toes on his front paws and 5 on his rear paws. Not only that, he weighs 29 pounds haha:)

I dont see what's wrong with hiptaru doing this. You see a cheap item that is about so skyrocket? You buy it, wait a little, and sell back for more gil. This is like the stock market. :)

If you dont like this, I dont know why I dont see people complaining about mules in different cities. They check ah price, then buy and sending to another mule in differnet city where price is higher. It's basically the same thing I think.

Buy low, sell high. Very good and interesting idea I think Hiptaru (which I had the gil to have done this) ^-^

Later.

Edit: Hiptaru I rated you up every single time. I really applaud your intellect for coming up with this :D

I love Hemmingways. A gal I used to know took care of a whole blasted litter of the things for a while.

That extra toe really makes their feet look huge, especially when they're kittens. ^^

Ya my cats front paws are huge, they call them mitten kittens because they look like they're wearing mittens (duh lol).

Still digging out pics of him, I will post them, but I have to find some where my ugly mug isn't in them and show off his paws and massive size. His back is close to my kneecap when he's standing ^^

i just saw this thread and skipped everything and gonna to my point.
Hiptaru is a ******* with pride.
But he aint that bad of a guy. So what he he goes buy all the astral rings. If u want it go buy it or hunt it down. Poor? Go get those stupid rings -20 hp +20 mp (something like that)
Hiptaru is not a bad guy, sometimes a idiot when he burns a mob even though we had to sleep it, but not a bad guy. I dont see why ppl ***** at him? Is it because he is rich? Is it because he gonna marry spudz? Is it because he back stabs ppl for Xp (that was referring to me). Making this thread to expose his plan was not very cool, and using Yekan words, Low.

If i didnt know hiptaru, i blist him cuz of what he did, but wait..... I dont need them. Why? cuz im not rich.... hmmmmm if u dont have money to buy a single ring before he buys them out, should u really hate him? (this is for the ppl that does hate him)

I didnt see a post saying he was a bad blm, but i think i missed it. He is not a bad blm, no comment. Shagull now, he is a elvaan with more mp then me and out damage my ***, now he is a damn true Elvaan blm, i be his ***** anyday, but anyways.

In conclusion, i didnt post this to defend hiptaru. I posted cuz i was bored and i wanted to get flamed so i could have a argument with some of u.
Hiptaru is not a bad guy, he is crazy to stay up at nights (he passed out on the floor) giving me the wrong phone number(that idiot i was calling this **** 100x but it was the wrong #). I dont like hiptaru(i do i dont wanna admit it).

Astral rings, if i heard right they in den of rancor? if it is thats good, cuz ppl go there for optical hats, and you get keys easy. In fact i have one on haque i think i go hunt it ( i have map haha -.-) and BOOM i just sell that **** for reg price. I gonna put hiptaru out of business ^^

Ok i guess i shut up now.

ok now..

Haquej you fool!! Wtf you coming here and talkin schmack about me now you ******!!! lol You know you love me.. We have had tons of hours of fun together in parties.. You have shown me so much about the ways of a BLM and i am forever grateful for your friendship..!!

We have had lots of good times, and bad.. Shared many deaths and many victories.. We will achieve the level of 75 together within the next week, and then we will see what happends after that..

Btw you can sell your Astral ring easily for 300k at the AH right now.. So dont sell y ourself shourt.. they are only going for 300k now.. and i still have a few..

Looks like my pland did not prove to be to terribly fruitful.. i mean, i have made my inital investment back minus about 400k but anyways..

Looking forward to Tuesday Haquej! level 72 at least on that day.. No BS.. lets get this done!
