1. Predatory trades are not "respectful".A few points:
- All fellowships and players are welcome to play as they wish.
- I do hope others enjoy the game. Helping grow the game and creating entertainment for ourselves and others is why we play.
- Part of that entertainment for many, but not all, is friendly and respectful competition.
- My word choice”stupid” was unnecessarily inflammatory. Given the earlier points, I apologize for my word choice. I was reacting to words I find sometimes to be inflammatory, “fair” and “unfair”. Anything within the game rules I view as “fair”, what other choose to add to their fellowship rules is a choice and has nothing to do with “fair” play by others outside that fellowship.
- The more correct statement was the popular rule “reduces the competitive performance of fellowships choosing it.”
2. Players that adopt this Predatory practice always try to justify it with the same debunked reasoning..."real life market forces"...that is comparing apples to oranges and not a good basis for an argument. Real Life Market Forces are NOT the same as Game Mechanics.
3. If you really felt what you were doing was right, you wouldn't need to compare apples to oranges to justify the behavior, again it is just basic logic.
