Right?!?!? I'm sure the new base owner is having an RP blast!

Feel to join my discord server. I RP the sale of bases that others wants to sell as well as what I build. On the server, you'll have advance notice of any bases coming up for sale and sometimes even other perks like getting to view auction bases first.

500mil for that base was a super deal. If it had been on Everlasting, it would have sold for MUCH more.

 

Plus, when some one buys a base, they are compensating someone for their time, skill and creativity. It's pretty insulting to reduce their effort to "ebil marketing".

 

Also, I sold this base on behalf of the base builder. I received no funds of the sale. All proceeds went to the original builder.

I can't argue with that, but it is selling a base and 500mil profit generated from game-time only. No influence. No drops. No salvage. No recipes. No card packs.

I think that is dependant upon who is using the term and the intent.

Personally, I think that the exchange of influence between players (mainly done through the Auction House) is the best PVP in the game.

 

It isn't like playing the market doesn't take "time, skill and creativity".

It just makes the base builder the profiteer, and you a middleman for nothing.

Why would they not sell it themselves?

Why would you use your "time, skill and creativity" for the post to make nothing and provide them with the method to earn 500M?

Perhaps it would look bad for a Community Rep to be the one starting the selling of bases in game? (I don't know, but assuming a negative if they are not doing it themselves).

People can have multiple accounts. It seems like some of the big base builders have several.

 

I do believe that this will the start of a trend.

I do believe it falls under what I believe to be Ebil Marketing.

If players are willing to pay in-game influence for bases, I say go for it. I hope that there is a huge boom in base sales.

Agreed.

I know that some base builders take influence to build bases for other people's supergroups.

This is the first time I have seen one for sale. I'm assuming this time it may be due to the player (Easter Bunny in this case) moving all of their characters from Indomitable due to the decreased server population. Its has never had a decent server population since I've been on Homecoming. (I only made 4 characters and one supergroup over there. Moved one character off of the server already. See nothing in /LFG most of the time. If there is something, it is only end-game stuff. It used to be the PVP server, but that's changed - don't remember if it is Everlasting or Excelsior at this point, but I don't actively PVP I don't keep up with it.)

 

I do see this starting a trend.

Building a base and selling it is taking the influence transfer between players to a whole new level. There is nothing on the Auction House that is going to sell for 500M.

If it was on Excelsior or Everlasting it would sell for much more.

If that is how players want to make their influence, I would much rather see it done that way than by AFK farming in the AE. AFK Farming in the AE takes no "time, skill or creativity".

Wow.

 

It's like you saw the 500mil price tag and just stopped reading.

 

I'd recommend that you do your research next time before making assumptions, though based on some of your other commentary on other posts, you seem to

enjoy making inflammatory comments.

 

So, I'm choosing to disengage with you. I refuse to argue with ignorance.

 

Just so you know, I sold this base in July 2022. Easter bunny became a Community rep in October 2022. He wasn't a CR then.

A wrong assumption.

I did admittedly gloss over a bunch of it ... mostly the detailed description of the base areas.

Okay. Your call on your opinion.

I see no reason to believe that my statement that bases don't cost influence to build and any sale is all influence profit is incorrect in anyway.

 

This is the first time that I have ever run anyone actively selling a base in the forums.

I do think that other players may find this a good option for both selling and buying bases.

 

I know that some base builders already charge other players influence to build or assist in building bases.

I see no reason to believe that this isn't a way that other players can start making large sums of influence - especially on the more populated servers.

 

And, yes, there is a reason to question when someone is being a middleman for a base sale and don't get anything out of it. 

 

In some way, they are getting something out of it. In this case, the poster is indicating that they didn't get any influence out of the deal.

 

Easter Bunny has 10 accounts that are called Easter Bunny. (See them all by typing @ with Easter)

Based on that, there can be no definitive answer if Easter Bunny has more accounts that aren't named Easter Bunny.

 

Is the "time, skill and creativity" different between base building different from marketing? Yes. Obviously.

Does it take any "time, skill and creativity" to AFK farm? Obviously, it takes none at all.

 

In my opinion, trading of goods in City of Heroes is the best PVP in the game.

I don't care if it's in the auction house, through individual player trading, or selling bases.

500M influence profit is a good deal in one transaction. And I do consider utilizing the method of sale, pricing to sell on the market, and gaining that influence reward are key parts of Ebil Marketing.

 

This very much fits with what I consider to be Ebil Marketing.
