How do you think Yantis views MQ2?

With such a tight little multi million-dollar gaming community there has got to be some kind of interchange between the main players. With the advent of macroers, Yantis enterprizes has to be affected. Plat market flooded--his prices have to drop. Or do they? Maybe he has more suppliers now? (by the way, Yantis is the owner of MySuperSales, also created RPGExpert to bring in more customers)

How do you think Sony sees MQ2? Before you jump to the obvious conclusion, think about how much money they make off of multi-boxer accts vs how much money they lose to people refuse to play alongside macroers. And then there's the innovation. How hard would it really be to alter their code each patch in a way that would make it in-feasible (despide our devs genius) to support MQ?

It's no secret that MSS/IGE used(uses) tradeskill macros to amass the preponderance of their in-game currency. Magic money from nowhere is the key to their success.

1. Yantis dosent care about MQ
2. Recent decline in subscriptions is what's causing the plat prices dropping
3. SoE dosen't care much unless there is public outcry
4. this poll is stupid

er yes, it is. i think i even remember yantis apologizing somewhere because some of the people working for him "may have used macros and exploits to create mass pp", which of course he knew nothing about i'm sure! ......

and how could you not remember the whole tradeskill nerf incidecnt? if you've got anything past a 5th grade level education in math, you could have figured out how severely that "exploit" affected the servers' economies and platinum supplies.

You think of the billions of plat some "exploited" or "hacked" hasn't got in? i'm sure it has.. but the majority of the plat he gets is really from buying it.

Some? i would imagine most. The price drop recently was DIRECTLY linked to the discovery of a combine the yielded a profit.
