    Will there be another double or triple station cash sale anytime this year?

    Have SOE retired them kinds of sales?

    There was a thing from Higby a while back that said SOE wasn't likely to do triple sales anymore.

    However, he also said that PS2's item sales would get better to compensate, and that was right before a Christmas spree of 1SC Daily Sales.

    There are still deals out there, just not from Sony. they now come from the PS2 dev team.

    The problem seen by the Execs was that $100 on a triple SC day was enough to cover most players for over a year, and some frugal players for an entire life time. A lot of it had to do with how weapons for TR (by far the largest faction in total) were not diverse enough to warrant using another weapon, how the cheaper (certwise) weapons were their most powerful, and how certain weapons (like the Striker) could supersede an entire sub-section of their arsenal. This lead to the largest population base being the most cost efficient to load up, and having the lowest incentive to diversify.

    The NC on the other hand have the largest diversification in their arsenal, with the initial top performing weapons all being in the highest cost tiers (GD7F, Anchor, GR-22, EM6, and Hacksaws). In the current state of things, NC field the widest variety of weapons as they are all more clearly defined for different applications. This isn't claiming that the NC weapons are better at a given task (in fact, TR weapons only trail slightly behind NS weapons in terms of wide application), but that their individual niches are better understood, and better leveraged as a result.

    Greed (Latin: avaritia), also known as avarice, cupidity or covetousness, is the inordinate desire to possess wealth, goods, or objects of abstract value with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort.

    Accountants don't like them because they encourage hoarding of station cash instead of spending it and having to account for all that station cash makes their books look bad.

    Smedley said on the other hand that 2x and 3x sales aren't gone.

    It has been almost a year since the last 2X sale. I wouldn't hold your breath for another one soon. The only reason might be the introduction of a new game by Sony.

    Oh shove off with your Occupy Walstreet bull. It's not greed to try and pay for all this stuff most people get to enjoy for FREE. It's not greed to pay for the people who actually make it all happen.

    Just another self-entitled moron whining they didn't get more for FREE and have no idea what it takes to run a business.
