Yes, of course it's harder on people who don't sell IM and don't have a great way to earn money, but it still doesn't change the fact that the quest sellers have been doing quests for quite little profit when compared against IM. If they don't earn a profit that is reasonable relative to work, time & effort expended, then why should they bother?

In Leo, I've been selling at 1.2m when SS are 2.5-3m now (mostly 3m) and now even seeing repair pots at 800k+ (seen higher)....

I'm getting sick of even selling quests, because of how people just sell OP IM and get incredibly rich or just gold bot their way to richness. But also , people cry "WAHH WAHH IT'S SO EXPENSIVE 500K CAN??" I'm one of the freaking cheapest sellers, but people want cheaper and cheaper quests when everything else is getting more & more expensive. I mean, I could only buy a couple IM items now since I waited so long to spend my money. Everything has just jumped so high in price my gold is beginning to get worthless.

I literally watched over 3 weeks:
Week 1: x amount of money, at #34
Week 2: earned more money, but dropped to #38
Week 2: earned more again, but dropped to #40

And you can see these characters like 'robot1' rising up the lists into the first page, and a whole bunch of these people making alts to sell super OP IM so people don't know who it really is.
