Because I do! I wake up, get ready and the first website is trade forum. Hahaha, it's my stock market. Any other addicts out there?
I know I sure as heck do. That's for sure! Not only browsing but I especially love buying and selling from one of my many alt accounts. err... uh...
For things I can't afford (which happens to be 95% of the posts), I shift + click for that authentic window shopping feel.
What? That doesn't sound anything like me... Oh..a 3rd anniversary mask dye is for sale? Let me check my funds... Me: balance Asshole banker: Thy current bank balance is 732 gold. Well then, lets get the checkbook ready and take a look at the thread selling the 3rd anniversary mask dye!
Not so much the trade forum but I find myself hitting the "New posts" button a lot, especially if there is a really entertaining thread chock full of tears and drama!
I dont need to, I just click "New Posts" at the top of this forum, and 95% of it is trade threads . Trying to sift through it and get to non trade content = my education in the market of this shard.
This is me, even over days I can't log in I'm hitting the forums from the mobile just to keep the crack close at hand!
I never check the trade forum and I never check the UO-trade IRC. Why? I prefer to find and get my own stuff the hard way... Well I hope someone will read my posts later when I wish to sell something though...
