achieved for the Black Market guy!" This is fine except the Black
Market guy isn't a black market guy, he's WG and whilst they're not
scalpers, making an offer when a portion of the market can't
actually take advantage of it might be considered sharp practice by
some. "Without that issue ticket sales would go all at once (as
they once did)." And still do long before a large number of
participants have either got out of bed or got back from work. "If
it works, it's the perfect way to do it"....well that depends on
what you mean by works. For some, it patently doesn't work. On the
other hand, if you wanted it that way so some can't take advantage
of the sale, it does. Are you speaking as WG Staff or as eeekeeboo,
the player? eekeeboo: You missed the part where many music festival tickets are gone long
before anyone else. The difference is this is a self inflicted
limit, people accept music festival limits because of limits of the
venue. Otherwise people would be equally negative and upset.
There's no way to please everyone, putting an infinite amount of
tanks on offer is not the answer and is counter productive and
really bad business from the black market. At the end of the day
there will always be someone who loses out, you can either accept
it or not, but at the end of the day the comparison to the music
festival is almost there on paper, but is a completely different
scenario. I will always speak as WG staff on here, it's
my job, even as a player who understands business. A store does not
put a sale on it's items to save a customer money, there's a lot of
other reasons you give them something not for the full retail
value, you sacrifice that for other benefits. Even then having
worked in retail, peoeple will still complain at something no
longer being on sale (out of stock, sale, date etc).
