I am reading that there is a recognition that this is a personal problem, and NOT a problem with the game.

 

Completely. Though I don't see 'cringing' as a problem, more a reaction on par with 'why would someone buy that color car?'

The reference to "multi-billion" is IMO a tell that this sort of thinking is mired in the past.

 

'Mired'?.. maybe a small exaggeration for effect.

Still, it's not to hard to go over a billion, even getting deals. Some of the builds could approach the infamy cap depending on a players patience level.

  • 3 sets Winters could be (3x6x~$20M = $360M)
  • 2 sets ATO (2x6x~$18 = $216)
  • 3 partial Purple sets (3x5x~$20M = $300M)
  • A number of high demand HOs or Dsyncs ($20M to ~$40M) that we then try and get to 53.
  • And the other sets...

Folks here on homecoming have spent outrageous amounts. (still potentially bargains compared to live)

 

I've seen @tidge offer tips and explanations, there's not really anything to take personal for them or well anyone.

I don't doubt that some folks have spent big on the market, but they don't have to.... and so it isn't as if a level 50 build that includes Purple/ATO/Winter pieces is going to be particularly difficult to figure out how to make "less expensive", by whatever measure. It's not as if there is some barrier to enjoying play if a character has 3% less global Defense (for example) because they don't have a Gladiator's Armor piece slotted.

 

We may as well cringe at posted builds at all, because it could be unfairly biasing new players from "figuring things out on their own."

"Delay of gratification" and all that - you could get fully IO'd out without having to spend tons on the market, if you are patient and willing to slot a little at a time...
