Milkmen of the week
This is an extraordinary Morons of the Week, commemorating those wonderful people who preferred to buy their ice cold milk and simple flour for 1000%+ price at 20 yards from the vendor who sells them for normal price. The first by Phaye: FoosYou even flipped the achievement bread up to the ...

My only mount
greedygoblin.blogspot.com — On the picture you can see my only mount. There is an achievement for 100 mounts , which proves that you can have at least 100 mounts. Yet I have only one. Being druid helps , but my other characters also have 2 mounts, 1 for ground and 1 for ... (more) My only mount

Gervais principle
I got this link long-long time ago. It's a hard read and was unsure that I could turn it into anything that fits to the blog. It's not only I cannot just copy&paste someone else's idea (that's too easy to catch in the age of google), but also I was unsatisfied with the idea itself, despite ...

The best thing you can do to a moron
Let's say you want to do something good to the morons around you. Seth is in this position, since one of his RL friend just told him that he makes 50G/day. Not /minute, day! He is unsure if telling this moron to farm herbs for low is a moral idea. Well, it's the only idea that helps this guy. ...

Business or gambling?
greedygoblin.blogspot.com — I got record amount of comments on the post about my pricing method. Most of them go along the line "It wouldn't work on my server", claiming that their method are superior, despite the poor results compared to mine. Of course the limited success is ...

Generation Y my ass
The net is full of this generation Y nonsense. If you are in the happy minority who has never encountered this, Tobold summed it up well. The main point is that the generation born after 1982 are different from the 65-81 generation, named generation X, who are competitive and lone wolves. This ...

Morons of the week
A must be post from my favorite fun thread. Read it! NOW! (If you are unfamiliar with the thread, read the "original post" at the bottom, maybe even click on the provided armory link and then read the mod's answer). World PvP is serious business. Knockback spells are overpowered! Nerf shamans ...

My pricing
My pricing
greedygoblin.blogspot.com — It's a weird post. I mean I already wrote it , linked it from the about page , yet people keep asking about my pricing like it never existed. The simple answer for this is that people write before they read, that's a common reason to get to my ... (more) My pricing
Do they want challege?
greedygoblin.blogspot.com — I don't like Blizzard is nerfing the endgame raids. I simply dislike it because it allows socials to participate and I simply can't stand their presence. I hate when someone litters the chat with "Megan Fox is so hot" or "Dr House is sooo cool lol". ... (more) Do they want challege?
Mutanus down!
It's kind of obvious that the difficulty of the game depends on your relative strength to the monsters. The standard way to perform a challenging action in WoW is going to a hard mode raid. Here top level and near-max geared people fight with monsters tuned to very strong. The same monsters ...

9 weeks glyph pricing experiment
I have received this research via mail and it's definitely worth publishing. If you don't want to read the whole - very carefully - presented research, I bolded the results for you: I have been conducting a booking experiment in the profits available from the Glyph market under different ...

Finding out intentions
A Gnome's conquest introduced an addon. It's the weirdest thing I've ever heard (besides "Age of Conan sex "). This addon tries to figure out which characters on your friend list belong to the same person. Obviously you know your friends, so it is used to extend a strange habit: put your ...

Morons of the week 2
I do not accept morons buying Resilient Parchments. But the morons never stop finding new ways of being stupid. Ravensear for example chose to pay 20000% markup for heavy parchment. That's the way to fame! (by Sovash of Korgath) Things change. Kids grow up, industries emerge from new ...

Morons of the week
Oh no! They are on the official forums . RUN! (by Craig and Joshua independently) Edgar was told plain and simple: if I make 100G/day, you can't make 5K/day. Clear logic, right? Stormcloak of Korgath sent me a strange conversation. I'm not sure what the moron's problem was, but his insult is ...

The fundamental problem
Let me finish my economical doomsday prophecies. There will be no more. Believe them or not, do something or not is your call. I made my own actions: all my RL money is either in gold (I mean real world metal gold in a safe) or on bank accounts (with lousy 7-8% interests) that has government ...

Walking in their shoes
greedygoblin.blogspot.com — This is another post that is irrelevant to you unless you are a blogger. It's about handling commenting, and understanding Blizzard. No skilled player has approved Blizzard's game changes. (if you make 2200+ DPS and can clear the content on normal, ... (more) Walking in their shoes
GDP/worker
This is the last post in the series of my doom prophecies, aimed on proving that without serious changes, the GDP will fall, due to the incompatibility between the economy of a technologically advanced country and the legal-social system of the same countries. First let me re-introduce the ...

I farmed it for free
This is the most common mistake of business-noobs. I wrote about it several times, including in "middle class" , mocked it in "morons of the week", referred it countless times. This time I'd like to write it so simply as I can. The purpose of this post is to be linkable to people who claim "I ...

Muscle and brain
My Friday posts about the imminent collapse of the economy (to be accurate the continuous decline of GDP for years) got lot of attention and comments. Some must be answered. Promise: the series will end this week, including a rewritten version of last Friday's and a solution suggestion (which ...
