Items last in EQ on merchant until a servers/zone reset causes them to revert them back to empty.

I think he meant to say inflation. He is still wrong though merchant buyback is in the opposite of inflation its a deflationary activity in that it causes prices to drop not rise. Merchants buying item then destroying them in a non back system is exetremely inflationary by the way, because...

Lame just say you don't allow merchant buy back because items have much higher reuse factor in EQN and you don't want merchant diving to lower prices of items in auction house. Then you know what just allow merchant buyback anyway because you have zero proof that it will actually harm the...

Sith are a murderous bunch master will kill apprentices if they find a better one, apprentices are always looking to eventually kill there masters and become the master. Take Vader and Emperor both vying for Luke. Vader wants Luke to join him and together they will off the Emperor. Emperor...

There had better be no main characters in the next Star Wars bellow the age of 18 period.

To much Gladiator and 300 showing in that trailer. Hercules is also to human when by the myths he basically superman level of power minus the flying and lazer beam eyes. Hercules doesn't fight mortal men he fights dragons only they hadn't invented dragons back then. So he fought other monsters...

What is difference between paying 10$ for a bottle of water and paying $20 for a steak? By the way your water example already happens. http://www2.costco.com/Browse/Produc...opnav=national The patent on water expired a couple billion years ago by the way.

Link in first post of this thread. More than 3 million Americans are infected with hepatitis C, and perhaps 170 million people have the disease worldwide. By comparison, about 1.1 million Americans have HIV, which has infected about 34 million people globally.

Care to explain? 3.000.000 x 84.000 = 254 billion. 1000% ROI of 11 billion is 121 billion. So what I suggested is taking about 50% the potential profits from US alone and then walking away. Is my fantasy that you dont think the amount of money i suggest is acheavible are that you don't...

No they should drop prices after they make there first 100% ROI. Then slowly drop prices until they hit 1000% ROI. Then after that walk away from there patent and let drug be sold at cost while kicking a few billion in profits back into a NGO to lead a worldwide campaign to eradicate Hep C from...

Because third world Africans cant pay $150 but your healthcare plan can pay 84k for the 1% of Americans that have Hep C when it means saving 216k in expense per Hep C patient treated longterm.

Your 12 billion number is less than a 10% ROI dumbass. 100% would be 22 billion.

Why the fuck would you want to spend 11 billion to just fucking break even?

No the government and health insurance industry will pay the cost because they will save more money by paying for it then they will by not. That is the rational for the high price aka the real world. Not your fantasy world where everyone with Hep C will have to cough up 84k are die. Current cost...

Go back to first post in this thread and read click on the link. She notes that Gilead paid more than $11 billion to acquire a smaller company that developed sofosbuvir.

I see no reason why ether you are anyone else should be able to tell someone else how much profit they can make on something they own. How are they price gouging when the service they provide will save money for society if it is used?

I'm fairly sure the people that paid 11 billion for the company that made this drug bought it for one reason only that being that drug.

Now answer how do you define market rate for a companies profit? How does this Drug compare profit margin wise to say Windows & operating system? In regards to profit margin for capital invested?

No one will make new drugs at 15% ROI the drug failures will eat that profit completely. Also investors wont flock to a 15% ROI on a drug that takes 10+ years to get to market just buy a 10 year bond and make 5% RoI with no risk that comes in every year.

So government workers shouldn't get a pay check because they are providing for the common good right? Your argument is bullshit and simply comes down to they shouldn't make x profit because you say. Your position is they should only be allowed to make X profit with X being a number you pulled...

Already established the cost of not providing the drug is higher then the cost of providing it. So the entire line of thought doesn't apply. End result is that curing Hep C will result in both government and health insurance industry saving money after a few years of initial expense then...

Actually I understand the difference better then you, Apple products are completely societal neutral, while cure for Hep C is of immense economic value to society. The aurgement for profits here favors the drug company they have actually made something worthwhile by every measure you can apply...

I really see no difference between Apple making billions of there latest I product, the guy who wins a 100 million in lottery, and a comapny that cures hep C making tens of billion while saving society 100 billions in the process. In the end it comes down to simple envy with your belief that...

We have established the price is bellow the cost of the alternatives. So social and economic benefits even at price of 84k is not in question. So what is the issue here that patents give a limited monopoly? Or that some people will make a fucking huge amount of money off this drug and that a...

After Melkor was defeated the Valinor called the elves to live with them in the Undying lands. Those that went West to the Undying lands became even more powerful. Those that stayed behind in middle earth slowly lost power because of the evil races that Melkor had created in the in middle earth...

Cause they die sooner and dont pay taxxes for 20 extra years and they also wrack up medical and welfare bills because of the disease. All-cause and incremental per patient per year cost associated with chronic hepatitis C virus and associated liver complications in the United States: a...

Price is fairly high but overall a cure for disease here will save more money for US health system then the pills will cost. Curing 2.700.000 people in US alone would save huge amounts of money even at 84.000 per patient. Rest of world will just make pirated version of drug like they always...

If RI had conditioned its loan on 38s matching the loan on a dollar to dollar basis with private funds things would have turned out different. Curt put in 30 million, RI 75 million, +45 million in missing private capital and Curts MMOG would have made it to launch. Curt would have at best...

RI was basically providing 100% of money to keep 38s running during time from when loan was made tell time when 38s collapsed. That's a huge reason for failure. Curt put his own money in at the start but once RI loan came through it was all RI money it seems. If RI had had demanded that say it...

So EQN is copying WoW lore almost exactly now.

It's really not that hard to follow the standard template for building any NA sporting activity into a global competitor. So what aspects are NA teams missing and I don't mean game play i mean structurally in how NA scene is set up?

AE damage attacks with the presence of melee classes simply don't work if you have friendly fire. You simply limit yourself in what you can do design wise for the sake of realism. Even things like melee basic attacks would be a problem if friendly fire was taken to its logical conclusions.

No way in hell will they allow friendly fire in a EQN. As for the rest you should try League of Legends to get a idea spell and attack type of abilities EQN will have.

The audience has to also care if the union players are not there as well. LoL may well have to many players for a Union to be able to force Riot into conceding anything if there are thousands of people waiting to take any strikers place. Cash prizes for tournaments also make forming a union...

This, Mephisto has been in a huge number of comics. There are many devil/demons in marvel universe Mephisto is one the top Lords of the bunch and the go to devil when marvel wants to bring a satan type character into a storyline.

Ok nine million people added to medicaid with a net decline in doctors to treat them. That's +9.00.0000 on one side and a net negative on the otherside. If you don't understand that the above equals clusterfuck of epic proportions I don't no how to explain it to you because you simply...

Nine million new people on medicaid no new doctors added to medicaid system to treat them. This is why Communist countries were never able to feed themselves.
