deep thoughts

Deep thoughts: Comments

First off all I would like to thank Gevlon for the link in his blog. The topic I wrote yesterday have brought on one of the heaviest discussions yet on this blog.

And Thank you for all the comments, good and bad, ofcourse more the good than bad, but both must exist.

Did I took on a topic that normally is written by Gevlon? Yes. Have I copied him? No, As said when I started this blog, YES I share the same views, but if my views are given, I’ll give them on my own. With my own thoughts and writing. So for the Trolls that say I’m a knock off: Do your research.. oh right a troll, you do not have the mental capacity to do such things.

A nice comment I got here was the following (in blue) My comments about his comment are in black.

Unimpressed. I could care less what other people think about my own thoughts about social pressure. IF you actually read the whole post you should have known that

I read this post and I felt it was useless and unnecessary, and not only because it parrots Gevlon’s pet theme. Same as what I said before.

I find your perspective immature. I believe you will look back on it one day and feel the same, and perhaps even be ashamed of yourself. Aaah yes, the mature perspective is: oooh the world is so great and I need to help the people that are too lazy to help themselfs to make the world a better place for all those who are too stupid/lazy to think for themselfs. I will go and feed the hungry with my golden spoon and become a hero…. Sorry not interrested… The world is cruel and the only thing that you have to do while you spend your time here is making your own time here as bearable as possible.

There will come a time in your life when you do not need to worry so much about looking after yourself and your loved ones. Then you will be able to spend some energy making the world a better place, perhaps bringing some peace and security to those less fortunate than yourself. Same as with the golden spoon thing, get your head out of the clouds and see whats around you. If there would be peace in this world you would probably starve to death. About half a billion people get payed because they are in the army, make weapons, make vehicules of combat, make security systems etc. etc. No war = Good bad for quality of life. Every revelution in economy and technology has come due to war. If there is non the economy would take a serious hit and it will probably be you that are “less fortunate”. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to redeem war. but before you say such things be realistic.

At the moment you seem so caught up in your own personal struggle that you have no ability to care for anyone else. What if that struggle went away? If you had all the money you needed or wanted, would you still want more more more just for the sake of it, or would you turn around and make a positive impact on the lives of others? I do not have a “personal struggle”. I have a great and good paying job, got a girlfriend and do what I like to do. If I had all the money I needed I would get some extra, why? If things go bad I’ll have the extra. If i had the extra I would never ever turn around to make a positive impact on the lives of others. why not? Again I will not help the people that can’t help themselfs. It is better to give a thirsty man a shovel to dig his well, then to give him water to drink.

Open your eyes, look at the world around you. I’m not even going to comment on that one.

We are all one. All life is one. Where will we all be in 100 or even 1000 years? The very atoms which comprise our physical bodies will still be a part of the living earth, as they always have been. No That is wrong, I am me and all the rest is the rest. in 100 or 1000 years I’m dead and decaying in the ground. And for your information. Our bodies haven’t been a part of this world for ever and ever and ever. I was conceived 21 years ago. Before that I didn’t exist, or maybe you like to count those 40 days as spermcell too. That still isn’t “always a part of the world”.

There is more to life than yourself, your business, your girlfriend and your bank account. Perhaps once those things are no longer of concern you will see the wonder in the world around you.No there isn’t. I care about myself and the people close to me. If I would see someone shot in the street, I would not help. Because I’m not going to risk my life for someone I don’t know. And neither would 99% of the world. I’m just mature enough to admit it. Instead of go cringing in a corner when that moment arrives.

You think the life is one big happy family and that you are obligated to help others to make the world a better place. It is appearant that you follow the social laws of others. This is why you will probably never feel truely happy. Because the rest ain’t as “fortunate” as you.

Why isn’t everyone as fortunate as me? Because they didn’t work as hard.
I am the one with the real world view, you are the small boy that thinks everyone should have the same amount of riches…. and that the world should be saved from capitalism.
Comunism started out the same way… a good thought just not applicable in this day and age.

goblin, other, rant

Goblinism

Dark Legacy Comics last episode showed the real goblin-way.
If I would have seen this comic 3 years ago, I would have scuffed it, since I was of the aspect that one should always help his fellow man. After some events and the wisdom of years I came to the understanding that this is one of the worst ways to go through life. Right now I think about 2 people Me and my Girlfriend, and everyone else can do their own thing without my help. Why should I loan a friend money? Half the time you don’t get it back. Why should I spend time helping them if they don’t return the favor?

The only way to live a decent life is think about yourself. If you have a company that can survive a year longer by laying off 100 people. Do it. So what if those people have kids to feed and homes to pay? IF they don’t get layed off, you’ll go bankrupt and they will be in the same misery 3 months later. not only that all of your employes will be without a job, and even worse, you will be out of a company with bills to pay. The goblin way is the ruthless company way, and besides of luck the only way to get filthy rich or atleast more then average money.

I know that what I’m saying is “mean” and “uncaring”. Why should I care about people that don’t care about me? The only reason why I give money to charity (120$ a year) is because I can refund it from the taxes. I’m not going to give a homeless guy/gal a dollar, I’m not going to sponsor someones surgery or whatever. I deduct the maximum taxes of charity each year and thats enough.

We all live by social laws, the only diffrence between me and you is that I make my own social laws. I don’t live by any other, I’m not going to boost because It’s “Friendly” and “Social”. I’m not giving the homeless guy a dollar because “it’s the right thing to do”. Go get a job!

Am I wrong with this post? Most of you will think so. But to be honest, I don’t care. I’m right in my own rules. That’s what I care about.

I Value people’s opinion, on blogs and ways to work etc. But not about my train of thought, my social rules etc. I have the goverment telling me what to do and that’s enough, My social views are my own. Deal with it. And while you are at it, make your own social rules and laws, don’t let other people force them through your throat. Do what YOU want to do, not what people expect you to do.

bloggers blog, hang-over, podcast

Monday Morning Hang-over: Visitor thoughts

Hey all,

A weekend has passed and I saw 2 things on my Google-Analytics that struck me odd.
First off all: If I talk about the Podcast, if thats on my last RSS I drop from 350+ to around 200
Now this is a bit weird, and yet it’s normal.

People come here to read about gold making, How do I make gold and how can you make gold.
So it’s clear that me being all excited about a Podcast is not in the readers pattern. So If I’m going to talk about the Podcast again (and I will) I’ll do it first so that my RSS feeder sais: crafting whatever or farming this or selling that.

Second off all and this was the real weird thing: normally in the weekend I have about 50-100 (maximum) views, now The podcast was submitted Friday eve (the preview) and saturday and sunday I had 150 views.. so I have less people that are interested in the podcast, but those that are interested come back every day weekend or not.

Now for today, I’m at work right now, after work I have an appointment for another work and after that I can go to see a “specialist” which is actually just a doctor specialized in (my case) throat and swallowing, So that means I can’t work on my Podcast tonight.
For the people that are actually interested in the podcast: it’s comming out before 15th october.
always fun to sneak in some news between everything else.

What did I do at the weekend? Suprisingly not much trading made about 300G profit and thats it. If you know me by now you should know I hate peeveepee. why? Ganking, I’m a huge altaholic and my alts keep getting ganked. Well My girl got ganked by a lvl77 rogue, and she got grieved by it , sooo much she was getting pissed about it. So I went on my 80 shaman, got my dps spec up, got some random voa125 pvp gear on and Griefed the rogue a whole freaking hour. I murdered him over and over and over again. then he took rezsickness to rez in his own town in helfire, so we got 5 guys together from the guild and murdered the town over and over again.
When we were done with him he logged out ’cause I standed by his corpse for 30 mins…
Yes I’m evil… Nobody griefs my girl, or anyone from my guild. I’ll corpse camp that dude till he starts crying irl. Well He just caught me on a bad day thats all.
Now my warlock is solely lvling through pvp and I actually love it, he’s 28 right now, has been on the top of damage, flag caps, base assaults since lvl 24ish. and its going good.
I even got some arenas done again on my hunter, and I’m slowly starting to love it.
But thats not why you’re here.

Blogsphere,
A new Blog popped up: A fistfull of coppers (its also on my blogroll) It’s starting up and while I think it needs some work, Its off for a good start. If you don’t have much time to read and want some basic and fast tips this is a great blog for you. Short and to the point.

Preview

After I’ve been messing a bit with all kind of stuff, I came up with this little gem… and my girlfriend helped me record it. well “gem” depends on how you look at it.
It only lasts 10 seconds or so but if you love it say so, if not say so too

podcast

Podcast: Segments…

For my RSS readers: Crafters Corner: Alchemy Thats my real post for today.

As all of who listened to podcasts know, you need some segments in it.
The segments I’m playing with right now are:
-Crafters Gold — What can you craft for money?
-1G please! — making your first buck or make a stab at goldsellers/beggars
- My crops — farming tips
- Hole in the purse — On what NOT to spend money
- Ask Seth Copper — Me awnsering your questions
- ….

Now those are all money making segments or at least to a certain degree connected with it. The poll is still going so it could be that there are more segments being added that are not about moneymaking:

– Ding! — lvling tips
– Killing Blow! — PvP Tips
– In my old days… — back in my day boy, we had something like Blackrock ……
– Oh my you’re so strong — lvl80 tips (raiding/ dungeons etc etc)
– …

If you want to add more or have great Idea’s make a comment! Because… I’m starting… THIS weekend… with recording… oki, I’m starting with recording tunes, and stuff. I want to learn how to work with audicity and implement some songs and stuff.
The Podcast itself could be only a week away or a month away. How come?
Well I need to get everything worked out , need to know what exactly you guys want etc etc.

So:
Any questions for the podcast: send an email.
And guys Vote, seriously.. I had 400 visits yesterday and only 10 people voted on the poll, so if you want to have something to say, want something to hear on your mp3.. vote

Thanks all,

Grtz

AH, crafter, gold

Crafters Corner: Alchemy

Alchemy jepz…
It ain’t worth that much in the goldmaking aspect but it can be profitable.

Potions: Seriously potions, Greater Healing potions and mana potions sell very well these days.
Now that they stack in 20 and that pvp BG’s are giving xp. people are buying them. I’m playing a warlock lvl23 (afflic) right now and seriously I have a full stack of healing/mana potions with me.
Why? It makes the BG easier, faster and increases your xp… YES it does. With those potions it makes it easier to carry the flag. It’s easier to cap the flag, and if you cap the flag you get xp. It lets you live longer to do more damage in AB so that the horde/ally get less chance to cap a node. which means more points for you = more xp.

Also and I tried this and it actually work.. not for huge amounts ofcourse but it really does work:

[2. Trade][23:DamiƤn]: Now open for bussiness: The leveling [Alchemy] Store! Looking for potions and elixers? Get them here! Want to be a hunter with Stealth? [Lesser Invisibilty potion] Can help you! Want to kick that rogues butt in the BG’s? [Greater healing potion] Will let you self heal and confuse him! I thought I was fighting a Warrior? Get them NOW!

Seriously I had 3 whispers from lowlvl (10-30) :
1 for a full stack of healing potions, 1 for for a stack of greater healing potions and a stack of mana potions, and one for 10 [Lesser invisibilty potion]s (and yes a hunter XD )

The first one said no after he heard the price, the second one bought the mats and gave me 10G gold fee and the third one just bought them with my mats.

So my tip for today: Don’t forget the alts that are lvling through BG’s they really want an edge to lvl faster and kick some horde/alliance butt.

Podcast Idea’s

The real post of the day is right under this one so you can skip this if you don’t want to read anything about me starting a podcast.

Okaj let’s get started

Soooo right now I’ve got 8 people that want me to start a podcast (2 want Goldmaking 6 want it all)
and one that said: Heeeeelllll NO.

so of right now: the dude who said: heeeeelllll NO, I’m sorry but you’r losing and the podcast is probably going to start in the next couple of weeks.

Well about the post right now:
If the podcast is comming I don’t want a 2minute thing.. I want the 30min-1h podcast every week.
But ofcourse I need a couple of things for this. Ideas, collumns, Q&A, etc etc.

Now to come to my point tbh:
IF you have an idea, comment, want something in the podcast: Comment/mail me.
IF you want to help, do a show with me, got some questions you want awnsered at the podcast: Mail me.
IF there is anything else: comment.

And trolls I’m talking to you too! I know I atleast have one so please give me some trolling love and do a comment.

1C100K, inscription, jewelcrafting

1C to 100K : Inscription taking off … slooowly

So My inscription is still only 300. No I’m not lazy or slow. (I just don’t have any time to play these days – sounds familiar?)
Well just with lvling i make about 200G profit of inscription a day. now along with my 1K profit a day from JC i’m at a good 1.2K a day. Now that the drums are here too… i’m aiming on 1.5K before friday. this would ofc mean that I actually need to log in on my main characters this week… so I’m hoping I find some time to do this all this week.

how am I doing you might ask on the 100K thing? well about 30K right now so i’ll only need 3-4 more weeks to actually hit the 100K.

How do I do this? quite easy:
buy epic gems.
Craft them
put them up
profit.

Really nothing more then that. fe. I buy something for 100G and I sell it for about 220G.
I do this for about 10-20 gems a day… so well do the math.
Now for the inscription: 5 of every glyph that even is slightly profitable, with about 100 glyphs a day.

And I only post once every two days, so i could actually already have more gold if I had more time and stuff.

I’ll have another post up about the podcast a bit later today so stay tuned!
