Of course I could, but micro actions like that are overshadowed by macro actions. It is just like fighting commercialism. If a company mass produces a product very cheaply, does a person who individually finds components to put that product together for sale insist on his ways or does he accept the growing trend? These dupers are no different from GAP or Nike, who outsource to cheap lobour and mass produce cheaply. Will your traditional shoe maker insist on his ways? That is idealistic.
Of course, the option to remain dupe-free exists, and I have made a lot of legit runewords. That is not the point. The point is that one is inefficient. I use whatever the economy gives me in order to be subsistent and survive. Hrs are to your Fletches and Slippers what a bus is to a 10-ft limo. Neither is necessary, but saying that you can always walk instead of taking a bus is silly.
dupeing, and thus controlling the currency supply is not done by a duley elected "higher authority", as fiscal policy is in the real world.
There is no focus on the election part. The focus is on the point that fiscal policy is something out of our hands, as is "dupeing", as you call it. As is commercialism. As is globalisation. You live with it, not against it. Does someone who is rooted in tradition reject globalisation by sitting in a well? Possible, but inefficient.
Runes have become the currency they are BECAUSE of dupeing. i mean come on, if you found a Ber rune, would you trade it off for 20pgems?
Runes are currency because of their size. Currency needs to be small to be currency, because of smaller denominations. 20life scs are currency too. Does not mean they are duped.
And of course I am not going to sell a legit ber for 20pgems. I would make that legit nigma or socket that legit coa. And no, if the economy were free of dupes, bers would not go for 20pgems. That point of yours does not impose controls on your situational analysis. If there were no dupes, lower runes would be used as currency.
you admit to knowingly useing dupes, kindly do not claim to have a Legit Character. you have one that is "perm" it is NOT Legit unless it can survive a Full Ruststorm.
Would it make you feel better if I was completely legit and would survive a full ruststorm? All I need to do is siwtch in a nigma and exile that I know are completely legit, and socket the Pcoa with legit bers. If it makes you feel better, assume that I will do so.
Yeap. =] Light absorb for WW Sins and a lv 2 Oak Sage that should give you a nice life boost.
Unfortunately though, I think the only way is a ring switch or a helm switch. Since CoA is > Shako, the only thing that might help is an Oak. But you are losing.. 28 vita and 37 life (basically 121). So not so sure how much it would add, if any.
Is oak BM? Some feel it is, or hdins will be casting it all the time.
I am at about 4600 life now. I guess if I level up a couple of levels, and maybe switch cleglaws with bloodfist or ww for treks, I could do it?
