Being selfish in a long-term usually turns out to being really nice to people. And occasionally kind. Not in a 'really going out of your way' type but in a 'being polite and friendly and occasionally sharing your extra' way. Being nice/generous can give you a good feeling, people tend to reciprocate, and sometimes even go out of their way to help you back.

Not really. First of all, they did it out of self interest, which has nothing to do with standards. They just did it to avoid the price of gold tanking FOR THEMSELVES. If it did, all the gold they stole would have zero value suddenly, and their income depended on selling gold. Secondarily, as someone pointed out, even telling them could have been part of the plan, to first tank the value on purpose (so that they could buy a lot of gold for pennies) then raise it again to then sell it.

I never had money to buy but she was happy i was kind to her so we chatted on an im, i think it was aol? I remember a few years had passed when i heard from her again, she had left the job and gotten married and shared some wedding photos. I was so happy to hear that of her.

I met a guy from china through boosting and through google translate we got speaking about the gold market. They now have entire "mafias" basically gold selling corps, within discord etc. The way it works is you funnel all the gold you earn to middle men which are connected to the "cartels, mafia's w.e". The cartel consists of logistics for holding and delivering gold but you also have marketing, customer service etc and even CEO/boss types that bring it all together. It also allowed sharing off systems so if a gold seller lost his level 60 mage but has shown he can grind gold 12 hours a day every day doing mara boosts. They would "lend" him a level 60 mage.

Basically the attackers find a username/password combo that works due to re-used, recycled etc. They then input that into the system. It PINGS the MFA authenticator to do a push authorization. If you do this enough your victim will just click "ok" just to shut up the authenticator, once that's done, the attacker is in. Its why many systems now have users input a 2 or 3 digit code when the push comes.

Dude who gave the method up is a real businessman. He knew what he needed to do to fix his market. It's smart lol but crazy how even they understand that there's a balance to it all. This behavior is a perfect example of why the government steps in to manage companies who monopolize- the truth is that these types of imbalances hurt everyone. Most of us don't have that lesson yet

Doctors do this with their salary. The American medical association lobbies congress to restrict residency slots. American physicians can not work until completion of a residency program. This has caused medical schools not to expand because they know residency slots will not exist for additional matriculates. There is no shortage of qualified people who want to be doctors. Numerous are turned away yearly after applying. This allows doctors to say ‘don’t want to pay my rate? Find someone else cheaper or die’ while knowing they restricted supply 😂

Thanks for explaining this in an easily repeatable way. Dr. Ron Paul also talks about how the government subsidizes hospitals on a whim or according to size; essentially giving away tax payer dollars to those who need it the least. And this causes the smaller healthcare providers to go under because they can't charge enough to stay in business. Goes to show even a government measure to lower patient costs is still fraught with corruption. And that's before I even bring up the insurance industry and how the government lets providers charge ransom prices just *because* someone has insurance.

The sad thing is that after watching this, I realize I was one of those people. I messaged blizzard about it because my pass was changed etc etc. they rectified the issue then banned me for 9 months for account sharing. This now makes complete sense. That was the final nail in the coffin for me to touch blizzard shit ever again.

The funny thing is that password systems can check if you are entering the same password. They don't need to store old passwords in order to know this, they can just look at what the hash of the old password is (or any of your previous passwords) and compare it to the hash of the new one, so no security is compromised. (Passwords are stored as hashes anyway.)

I honestly wouldnt be shocked if they were one in the same. Money is money and they want more of it. IF its anything like phone scammers they probably have a bunch of poor people they have hold and controller over doing that stuff for them. Diversifying your means of income is always a good idea when the main one is as volatile as something what they normally do.

It's the same kinda thing in any illicit trade. If someone starts doing some dumb shortsighted shit then it usually doesn't end well for them. I used to know this one kid from my area who started growing and selling weed and his own rx pills for waay cheaper than literally everyone else to make all the prices go down to a more reasonable level. Dude ended up first getting robbed and "visited" by a "legitimate business association of gentlemen with leather vests" and then snitched on by street level dealers who wanted the prices to stay high. That's why they call them cartels I guess.

Most forms of gameplay require little to no interaction with the economy - PvP for example, with the exception of buying enchants at the start of the season, which you could craft yourself with materials you earned yourself. As for raiding needing flasks and stuff, join a guild, chip in and get the stuff you need.

I did something similar with starcraft brood war. Some dude was issuing the burrow command to larva, which would make them hatch into mutalisks. You could get 3 mutalisks right off the bat and fly at your opponents. Blizzard said it was a modified replay, so I gave them both compiled and source code for triggering the burrow command on a larva, and a logger to see it working in the replay, and I pointed to the exact line of code needed to be fixed, and explained how/why their code was buggy and suggested a fix. Several pages of the main post complaining about this disappeared off the blizzard forums within an hour. When I asked if Blizzard was hiring, as I know Drakken was hired, I was told to go to college. I found/fixed your(Blizzard's) code as a hobby when you didn't even acknowledge it existed, and *I* need to go to college? I don't remember if I even reported the "telling a hatchery to burrow, then cancel gives you 100min/gas and can be repeated for infinite resources" after their response.. Here's to being Thor's co-worker in a different life. :p
