Uber upgrade?

[Chaerophon]

Now, if you actually had 1,000 people doing it, you could do it in just 1.6 hours. However, who would possibly sell the product of 1,653 man hours of work for just $25 or less? If you're paying minimum wage ($5.15?) for 1,653 man hours, that's about $8,513 in wages, for something that nets $25 or less. I may not be an economist, but I see some serious flaws in that business model.

As for the 40/15 jewel, you have at best a 1/34,505 chance of a jewel being a 40/15. The best reasonably runnable source of sufficient ilvl jewels would probably be the hell council, at 1/99 each. Let's suppose these take 5 seconds each to kill (counting the time to make the game and walk there). That'd make it 1 per 17,079,975 seconds. That's 4,744 man hours. That makes $24,433 in minimum wages. And they sell it for less than $10. Not a good business model.

It's simply not feasible to have a store that sells items like that for so cheap, if you're doing it legitly. Of course, if you have bots that do the runs for you, you eliminate the cost of the employees. And if you have dupes, the rarity of the items doesn't matter, as you have as many of them as you want.

I wouldn't ordinarily say it, but, I don't know if I've ever seen the phrase fit oh so well...

pwned.
