All I really have to contribute here is that I have NEVER had any kind of awesome or special gear, never owned a single item that was worth more than 15m, probably never had more than 25m to my name at any point that I've played this game. If I don't care about GMs buying items in an auction that they BOUGHT TICKETS FOR, why the hell should anyone else?
Kalros, you are just the worst kind of troll. Well okay, no, there's Zaoloo. Second worst, then.
