    That reminds me of LOTRO now adays. The gold cap has gotten so high that its insane to try to buy anything in the online auction house and its a real problem for low level characters who haven't amassed all the gold yet. And all the stuff gotten from the random chests makes the crafted stuff pretty well useless, though I guess if you are a character without a lot of gold, the crafted stuff can have its value......

    Of course in that game, the characters have gotten so over-powered in the majority of the low level fights in an effort to balance the game for single level characters, that if you really want a challenge, you play without armor or keep low level armour :)

    But hey, I don't care - I love the game anyway, and I don't care if its 12 years old and severely dated technology :D Besides, I play for the characters I've created and the story I have running in my head

    A work buddy makes a steady side-bar income of collecting MtG card sets then selling them online. Says he can usually count on a few hundred dollars per year doing this.

    One guy at work found out about this, asked him (the collector) to evaluate a shoebox of old cards to see if any could be sold online. Turns out he had a dozen pristine black lotus cards. Collector could have given new guy $20 and he would have been happy, but instead was honest and sold them online for enough for new guy to literally pay the down payment on his house. Unreal.

    Thank your coworker for restoring a little bit of my faith in humanity today, that's the best part of the story

    TBH, I tired of super-hero universes after the 1st Avengers movie, and Spiderman was never a favorite anyway. I'm just not all that interested in time travel, alien kind of movies, so I lost interest fast. Now its more of a curiosity to see how far Disney can milk this particular cash cow lol

    Though I've never truly been all that interested in super heroes or sci fi in general. I've seen a few movies over the years, watched a few episodes of a few TV shows (though I acknowledge that the only reason I watched a couple of Babylon 5 episodes was because of Bruce Boxleitner :D ), read a couple of books, but I just couldn't really get into the whole aliens and space hopping genre. I tend to prefer historical period pieces up through the American Old West - which might be why high fantasy appeals to me, as those are usually set in a medieval type world.

    You might like FireFly than even though it's Sci-Fi.
