This is NOT spam

Because u man cannot discuss

Methionylthreonylthreonylglutamin... (GM note: While it's true that that is not the chemical name for SPAM, it's still a giant wall o' text which is rendering the forums very difficult to read. Please feel free to provide an offsite link to the word in question, though!)

Because the 99% consume more

Because the 99% consume more CE than they purchase.

If the average knight has 9 5* items when they finish playing they will have consumed at a minimum 10000 CE. Someone has to spend ~3 USD for each Knight to have a 5* item.

Now I'm curious.

That is quite the interesting observation Sir Didy (and pretty much spot-on). Now you've made me curious, I must tally up how much I have been paid by others to play SK.

I am not sure how much I have spent vs. the equipment I have but my guess is that I may have spent enought to sponsor a sword or two for you.

please carve Didy in the hilt :)

Minimum Waaaaaaaage~ o/`

For estimation purposes I'm lumping all the 5* stuff together including elite trinkets and stuff starting at 3* and Crust of Almire. It roughly evens out though, since I have a bunch of 4* items lying around as well.

44 crafted 5* items x (100 + 300 + 700) = 48400 CE
Assuming the middle-of-the-road $10 package (350 CE/$USD), then I've been paid just shy of $140 based on equipment alone. Not bad considering playing SK is something I enjoy and play for fun. (Might meet minimum wage... for a sweatshop in China)

/me goes off to stitch "I <3 DIDY" on the brim of his Nameless Hat.
