Well maybe if Video Game Blacksmith had a better business model, he wouldn’t have this problem.  You want my money, don’t try to charge me 37 gold for a piece of armour that I encounter every time I open a chest.  I don’t even bother to pick it up anymore, because the market’s flooded– hell, if I try to sell it to YOU you will only give me 2 pieces of gold, and that’s not worth hauling around 12 pounds of steel plate.  Oh, sure, you’ll stock that “cool” piece now that I’m level 20, but I already took one just like it off a troll under a bridge.   By the time I’m level 22, I won’t even think of it as a cool piece anymore and I’ll be sick of seeing it in chests.  I’m really hazy on your marketing strategy, Video Game Blacksmith.  Are you refusing to sell me the good stuff up front so that I will constantly be giving you money to upgrade to slightly-less-shitty armour?  Like planned obsolescence?  Or did you conclude that because a piece is lying in half of the chests in the kingdom now it must be a hot seller?  That chest piece right there?  I found a better one that that last week on a wolf.  Not a direwolf.  Not a possessed wolf.  Like, a wolf.  You know, the dog equivalent of the racist grandfather.  I’m don’t know why he was carrying it– or the 15 silver, for that matter– and I have no idea HOW, but you’re selling shit that even wild animals are carrying.  Fuck your “Millennials are killing the video game blacksmith industry” and make me some shit that’s gonna help me with the dragon I gotta fight on Tuesday.  ‘Cos you know as soon as that dragon’s ass hits the ground, you’ll be stocking stuff I really could have used in the fight, and I’ll be pulling something out of his corpse that’s better than anything you’ve got in the store.
