Oh I think i shall say what I want.

Let me say it again. I made two million credits WITHOUT price gouging/ripping people off. Killing stuff to get things is not hard. I have a vendor full of loot components to prove that. Tedious, yes. But definitely not hard.

By no means is charging 300-500k price gouging. Sorry, but it isn't.

I have been paying people to give me components, Meaning I PAY 275k to get the three components for a slice. I charge 400-500k a slice.

And having vendor full of loot is beside the point, I wasn't one of those who stocked vendors full of components prior to the change in anticipation. I have gone out and hunted and bought all the components I need for my slicing. Yes there will be a huge surplus in components in a few days when they add the componens converting properly, but that is not going to dictate slicing prices going down to <300k.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: It is impossible to price gouge in SWG.

Price gouging: pricing above the market when no alternative retailer is available

Because there's no such thing as an exclusive product in SWG, there's also no such thing as price gouging. In order for price gouging to exist someone must have something that no one else has, not just something that is rare.Calling people who sell these loots for high prices "price gougers" is like accusing a goldsmith of price gouging just because gold is expensive.

I agree 100%. In fact I believe that even real price gouging (though it does not exist in SWG) would be fine as well. Hey, supply and demand. Somone else better damn well figure out how to make/find it. If not, thats thier problem for not being smart enough. Either you are smart, or you pay more money.

Also, I have to say this:

LEARN HOW TO READ THE DEV TRACKER!!!!!

I mean, damn fools. If your going to argue something you know nothing about, at least dont pretend you do.
