Capitalism

Greetings,

What is a miner paid for? Work. You see, things made of things most
often require someone to make them, change materials into goods. And if
you think it doesn't cost, then check again the definition of the word
'capitalism'... Why Saboteurs price their toxins so high? They really
don't need any commodities at all as well, yet their toxins are way up
into 2k+ gold for a vial. Why does a forger wants gold for forging if
you bring commodities? *chin* I have no idea, but I suppose it has
something to do with them sitting at the forge. Why does a concoctionist
prices his herb so 'high'? Because harvesting takes time. Yes, time is a
commodity as well.

And to Morgain (as I don't want to waste another 1k gold) - Wanting a
free market and disrespecting members of two guilds are two different
things. Fight for it, sure, but calling 'forrestals' as you and many
other call us, greedy people with intention to only gain gold from their
skill is sick. After all, you were a 'forestal' as well...
