Elias: I believe your post was directed to me, but I do not understand why you didn't simply use my name. Perhaps it was too much for you to scrool down and look it up...
I must confess I personally do not care for history or politics. Actually to be honest, it was the one class I hated most in high school, and I am glad for my major i will have nothing to do with it. On a personal level, i think History as a subject, ranks second last of importance, right above philosophy. This is all besides the point.
I said that communism is not an economy, which trust me, I did not originate this statement. The reason I used it was due to the fact that in communism, items, whatever they may be, are not produced out of peoples need, but rather to what the govenment says peoples needs are. For this reason I said that communism is without economy, and I am sure i do not stand alone in saying this. But as for calling me ignorant, I see you are a nice guy/ girl.
You also assumed (there is a very opportune saying for those who assume) that I blamed gil selling on weak economies in the world. If you, or anyone else, honestly thought that this was my conjecture, rather than calling you ignorant!! I will appologize for not making myself clear. But anyone who takes a brief look at was is going on, can see that most of the supposed gil sellers who are made infamous on these message boards appear to be from China! Hence i mentioned that nation.
Also, if you didn't ignore most of my other posts on the gil selling issue (aka were not being ignorant), you would see that i personally do not carry any qualm with gil sellers or gil buyers, but only rude unfriendly players. To further generalize it, lets say rude unfriendly people. That applies to people who post on these message boards trying to insult another!
Elias, I hereby give you the award for being the first person on this thread to resort to an insult, simply because you do not agree with someone. [Congratulations]
To the rest of you, thank you for keeping the boards clean! Ragnarok posts have been some of the cleanest I have seen on this site. It is nice to know we have such great people on our server.
