I don't ever do anything because I'm forced to do it by pressure.<br />If I don't do this, another person won't do that. That just doesn't work with me. Now from the 600 vistors yesterday, 30+ voted. which means that there are 30something that haven't yet learned the way of the goblin. Ofcourse I'm very happy to get the votes, so now I know to continue or not. But this was an easy lure and some of you got catched by the trap.<br /><br />This actually also reinforces my statement that a lot of people are being let on by social aspects of life. Otherwise I would have had the normal +/- 2 votes a day.<br /><br />So what did you think of my small trap yesterday? Was there social pressure to vote? If you have voted, why? and why not if you didn't? These things intrest me today.<br /><br /><br />Sorry for the small post, I'm having a meeting at work and don't really havethe time for anything larger today. This weekend I'll also buy the new site, so keep on the lookout for my farewell post on blogger.<br /><br />Grtz<br />SethSethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03762002397586862820noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-26787599574358904882009-10-14T22:58:00.000-07:002009-10-15T01:12:43.281-07:00quicky!Hey all,<br />As said yesterday I don't have too much time to write something up but this was important enough to let you all know.<br /><br />IF I get 25 votes (GOD YES!) before tomorrow eve, the new website will be bought and ready for use this MONDAY including a podcast next week friday for your weekly shot of goldmaking sweetness.<br /><br />If not, I'm waiting another week before starting the podcasts and website.<br /><br />Social pressure, eh?<br /><br />grtz<br />Seth<br /><br />Afternote: okaaaaj that was quick...

In patch 3.2.2 Runescroll of Fortitude were implemented in the game allowing players to have the fortitude buff without a priest. Here I'll explain why Inscription is currently such a hot profession right now.<br /><br />We'll start off with figuring out the cost per glyph. To figure this out we divide the cost of your adder's tongue or icethorn prices by 6. On average you will get 6 ink of the sea (12 azure pigment) from 1 stack of adder's tongue or icethorn. So if your adder's price is 20g a stack your ink of the sea will cost 3.3g each meaning your glyphs will cost 3.8g and 7.1g respectively (1 ink and 2 ink glyphs plus parchment cost). While this sounds expensive think about how many glyphs sell on your server for 10-20g. On top of that I sell glyphs on a regular basis for 400%+ mark up. <br /><br />While that sounds great here is how you can simply make money just by milling your herbs without selling any glyphs. Runescrolls of fortitude take 1 snowfall ink and 5 resilient parchments to create. You will on a large enough scale get an average of 1 snowfall ink per adder's tongue and icethorn stack (2 icy pigment per stack). The recipe creates 5 scrolls for the cost of 1 ink and on many servers the runescrolls are selling for as much as 20g each. That means selling 5 runescrolls at 20g each is giving you 100g per snowfall ink. That stack of herbs that cost you 20g just returned 100g before you even touched glyphs. On my server for example the scrolls are selling for 7g each right now. That's still 35g per snowfall ink which is the same as 1 stack of high end herbs (my server 15-18g).<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed my guest post today at One Copper and you can visit me at <a href="http://gnomesconquest.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">gnomesconquest.blogspot.com</a> to read more.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />CarbonSeth.onecopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07459158146078792311noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-1205859836477802732009-10-14T00:05:00.001-07:002009-10-14T00:32:46.294-07:00leveling enchanting: where did 1.5K gold go?I logged in yesterday and was like: ok... I was at 120K and now i'm at 118K again... what happened to my 2K of money (1.560G to be honest)<br /><br />Ooooh yeah the nether essences.... damn.<br /><br />Leveling enchanting is a real pain in the butt. It's fairly slow and very, very expensive.<br />Ofcourse now that Vellums are available (since wrath) It's less painfull.<br />You can enchant the vellums and sell them on the AH, they don't have a cost to post so thats even better. Ofcourse you can also use the vellums for other characters, so If you are a altaholic like me it's nice to have about 10 diffrent scolls with enchants on your guildbank.<br /><br />Nether essence is very difficult to farm (green weapons lvl40-45) so I didn't want to have my available time in Zul'farrak. And I bought the items: 1.5K gold for lvling enchanting from 200 to 295.<br /><br />I'm keeping enchanting a bit around that lvl though, want to spend more time getting everything in order. (getting my alts to 80 and gearing the last 3 spots on my shaman)<br /><br />Also: I don't know If I'm getting a blog up tomorrow. I can't play today (going to pool and poker this eve now that I have a bit more time between work, school and home situation) And I'm off to a booksalething. 20K+ books all for 90-75% cheaper then in a store. (if you live in Belgium or the Netherlands: Boekenfestijn, look it up)<br /><br /><br />A fortune starts with one copper.<br />SethSeth.onecopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07459158146078792311noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-7693162984119007152009-10-12T22:07:00.000-07:002009-10-13T08:55:28.688-07:00the path of life isn't written in stone<span style="font-weight: bold;">The path of life isn't written in stone</span><br />which means that everyone makes their own happiness and succes. Yes there are some things outside of your control. But be honest how large is the chance you are hit by a truck this morning?<br /><br />YOU choose to work for something, to work at your own attitude, to work and get out of the snakepit you were born in. Don't go telling me that people that come from a bad background can't be succesfull... For every so many poor there is a "rich" one. And that one (most of the time) worked for it. When someone works hard enough he can get very far, not everywhere but very far.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools for the Needy</span><br />There are so many tools to help the "needy" out there, it's kind of a hoax.<br />Can't pay for university? Don't worry work hard and we will pay for you.<br />Can't pay for a house? Just take the effort to walk 500meters to the nearest office and we'll pay for you.<br />Came from another country? Don't worry we'll do everything for you<br />Can't speak the native thongue? Don't worry the people will adjust.<br />Don't worry the people will pay for your food, clothing, car, school, whatever you need! They will adjust.<br /><br />"But he came from a 3th world country we have to help them"<br /><br />Help them by learning to actually work for something. If he gets all the above thats fine. IF he actually starts working, and learns how to live in the western civilisation (spelling?) But if you got all that, would you even bother learning the language or work? It's a free day in paradise from my aspect. Getting EVERYTHING while doing NOTHING.<br /><br />It always feels good when you see 3 foreigners in a BMW blasting music down the street, looking them stop at a OCMW (helpcenter) and get a paycheck where the working class is jealous off.<br />Why? because they came from wherever.<br /><br />And dare to say anything about it and you'll be a racist...<br />We DON'T care about the race! It's just a great example, people from our own country do the same damn thing... it's called wellfare. WE work so we pay taxes, taxes in which are used to get wellfare money which in it's part goes to all the people that are too lazy to work.<br /><br />Statistics in a random (truely) western country:<br />People from the country itself: age 18-67 working class: 89% (got to love decline in the economy)<br />Foreingers intigrated: age 18-67 working class: 42% (4% of total people in said country)<br />Total: 15% don't do sh1t with their lives.<br /><br />so tbh.. They are just a "easy" group to pick on. It's more obvious. Though the group is waaay smaller.<br /><br />The point being is: The Needy can get as much as every working (wo)man, by doing nothing.<br />IF you really don't want to achieve nothing in your life, if you don't want to have more then 90% of the country. Just stop working go to a wellfare office, and get the free ride through life.<br /><br />How you ride your life is totally up to you.<br /><br />I'm a goblin... I am that 10% And I'm not afraid to say: I feel GOOD about it. And I hate working for the 15% of people that don't do a fck with their life.<br />I'm a Goblin and I'm proud of it.<br /><br /><br />PS: can any of the 600 readers actually comment some feedback about the podcast? Thank you!<br /><br />PPS: Just got my taxletter... isn't it pretty... another 6K spent on taxes this year, probz 4K to the welfare system. here you go take the workers money.Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03762002397586862820noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-54279605806167902282009-10-13T05:19:00.000-07:002009-10-13T05:23:32.526-07:00copycat!Well I'll be damned...<br />I've been sitting here the last months telling people: farm lowlvl stuff, and one of my favorite examples is Mithril and Thorium ore/bar.<br /><br />MMO-Champion has made a new guide, using that farming info.<br />Ofcourse this is something any player with a mind can think of, so I'm not even suprised.<br /><br />What bugs me though is: Now I have to find a way around my own lowlvl farming goldmaker....<br />And to be honest the only awnser there is: Farm yourself!<br /><br />or<br /><br />Crash the market... héhé thats an idea *evil thoughts*<br />Go into a bidding war so that the prices tumble down to below 50%, buy them all up, wait a week, and resell again at 80%<br /><br />So that problem's fixed.Seth.onecopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07459158146078792311noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-18433931951100008392009-10-11T23:23:00.000-07:002009-10-11T23:45:56.599-07:00Monday Morning Hang Over: Farming has startedMy mate has challenged me this weekend to a race. A lvling race, since I lvld my first toons in a powerlvling guild I was pretty optimistic that I could win... but then I heard what he wanted to do.<br />Lvl all 10 classes to 80. Sadly enough I never turn down a bet. I accepted and am currently leading with: 2 x 80's / 1 x 47 / 1 x 40 / and others. Now I'm not going to extensivly lvl just yet. God knows that I have more time, now that I disbanded TSB. (my raiding guild=> wanted more time IRL so no more 3H a day raiding and 1H a day ahing etc) I'm going to grind Stonekeeper shards and Badges of conquerer things. the 10/20% lvling increase will hopefully get me the win.<br /><br />Well that's that.<br /><br />First off all Thank you for the comments on my first Podcast test show. All comments have been read and taken in account. Now depending on how many more comments and views I am going to get, the new site is going to be live this or next week.<br /><br />So improvements on the Podcast that I'm looking at:<br />1. new mic. (really needed)<br />2. Being less nervous at the beginning of the show<br />3. better quality "cuts". No more roosters that make you topple of your chair.<br />4. Better research before recording<br />5. others on the way<br /><br />Well thats it for this monday.<br /><br />Grtz<br />SethSeth.onecopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07459158146078792311noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-39788626150613497082009-10-09T12:40:00.000-07:002009-10-09T13:41:49.011-07:00Podcast: Testshow: Finally hereSo... YES the testshow is finally here.<br /><br />first off all before you start listening:<br />1 - This is being recorded with a fairly bad mic, a better one will be bought if the podcast is to your liking.<br />2- In the podcast you'll hear me say sheep, I listened to the podcast again and I thought it came out as cheap, so trust me if I say it's meant as SHEEP.<br />3- any comments or ideas are more then welcome as long as they are constructive.<br />4- I was very very very nervous so be gentle. You'll probably hear it in the beginning and a little lest at the end, so be sure to give me info about that.<br />5- this podcast isn't downloadable at this point. I want to see how the reactions are before pumping money into a site.<br /><br />Grtz<br />Seth<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzBOeZjjMZdHLOQeDSOqCluuVK6Rs-NtnJtrFnT3w11g1VBpS_K5cvjllzqFcTVtfTKy-uchorTbn1avEARcQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03762002397586862820noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-4791924420801337292009-10-08T22:26:00.000-07:002009-10-08T22:29:52.906-07:00Podcast: Almost here!Yes Yes the podcast is comming today! hopefully not 12h from now it's online.<br />Since it's a test episode it will be posted as a video here at the site and on YouTube.<br />If you like it or don't don't forget to comment.<br /><br />Also the site is probably moving to a selfhosted site!

For 5 mans they are sweet too, but who wants to spent such gold on a pug? if 99% doesn't take a flask (when undergeared, if that is even possible) why take a drum/scroll?<br /><br />Tbh, there are so many Paladins and priests that for a raid it's practicly worthless.<br />I have a leatherworker and the income of those drums is abmyssal. I had to repost 3(!!) times before 1 sold. No competitors even close to my figure (just above mat price+ ah fee + 1% profit)<br /><br />I have checked the price on other servers, but ofc, don't know how fast they are selling.<br /><br />Right now I do not think its worth the gold and is " a hole in my pocket".<br /><br />Grtz<br />Seth<br /><br />PS: last day of recording on the podcast tomorrow.

A review that was actually much to my liking.<br />There are some good points in there, and I actually didn't know that some of my labels where empty.<br />Now Sarainy if you are reading this: Great review, but ya missed a negative point...<br />My youtube link is broken... I said to myself I would fix it... like said it a month ago, and still didn't get around to fixing it. But really the negatives and positives are all to my liking and fairly objective. (from my point of view) So Thank you and great post!<br /><br />The Podcast: Friday is the big day! last day of recording and it's up. Had some difficulties with my cat.... seriously she wrecked my headphones. Don't ask me how, it's like the dog ate my homework, but this one is acually true. It also seems that I ain't the only one doing this: JM2C also has released his idea's for his goldmaking podcast so, good luck with it.<br /><br />The site: When the podcast has gotten good "reviews" on the test show, I'm going to change the blog and podcast to a site of my own. For direct streaming, and the ability for you guys to download it. If anyone has a good provider for a pod/blogcast . Let me know.<br /><br />I'm out of time here, so wrapping this up.<br />Later this week I promise to actually get some tips up again because it's been a while.<br /><br />Grtz<br />SethSethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03762002397586862820noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-79669908802240920022009-10-05T05:48:00.000-07:002009-10-05T06:19:51.514-07:00Monday morning hangover: oh my I help people!Hey all,<br /><br />Well, I didn't have a post friday, why? I had a "gastroscopie" with other words, they stuck a tube in my mouth to look at my stomach, throat and the thing you use for swallowing.<br />I was kinda high the rest of the day, so a post wasn't one of my priorities.<br /><br />Well Good news first: on the last episode of <a href="http://www.twistednether.net/">Twisted nether</a> My blog came up for a question so jeuj. (= happy) Always good to get some extra attention.<br /><a href="http://one-copper.blogspot.com/2009/09/goblinism.html">Goblinism</a> also got some extra attention this week so that was quite well.<br /><br />Now as I am a self proclaimed Goblin, I get quite a few comments that are saying "you are selfish and selfcentered". Now this is 90% true. But I want to explain a point here.<br /><br />Being a Goblin doesn't mean that I don't help people. It's just I don't help the dumb, the lazy and the other. I Help people that are actually trying to make their "lifes" or "WoW" better.<br /><br />Fe. I got some nice whispers yesterday that went like:<br /><br />Can you spare me a gold?<br />- Yes I can<br />*invited you in a party*<br />- Declined<br />Where should we meet?<br />- Why should we meet?<br />For the gold...<br />You said you are going to give me one gold?<br />- I said I CAN spare one gold, I didn't say I would.<br />nvm<br /><br />I would never ever give the milk/money what ever to someone. I would however teach them how to milk/ how to make money. Thats also the reason I blog. And I presume Gevlon blogs. I try and teach people to make gold, <a href="http://greedygoblin.blogspot.com">Gevlon</a> does, <a href="http://phase3profit.net">Zekta</a> does, <a href="http://justmytwocopper.blogspot.com">JM2C</a> does...<br />Do we give gold in game? 99% sure: NO.<br />in <a href="http://one-copper.blogspot.com/2009/09/goblinism.html">Goblinism</a> I said that if needed I would fire 100 people to save my company. Now that's true as ever, I would fire everyone if needed as a matter of speaking. But what you should know is that the people that are staying are the ones who want to learn to milk. they don't necesarly need to be te "best", they need to want to be the "best".<br />Fe. In my guild, I always took 1 or 2 people that wanted to learn. I didn't care about their dps, the rest off uss can easily cover for them if we didnt do hardmodes. And after that raid, the next time we run they will dps more/tank better/heal better. And not because of the gear, because of what they learned. Prime examples: Galeo, Stralight, Panndora, Shayline. They all started with uss with lesser gear and lesser "experience" raiding. When yesterday I disbanded the guild, I could look back and see that they all improved soo much that they were the people I wanted for my core group. I teached total newbs from making 10G a day to a real competitor on the AH. And actually cutting in my profits.<br /><br />So with this kinda rantpost: Goblinism doesn't say: me and the rest can screw themselfs. It sais: everyone that isn't willing to learn: Screw you. And I'll profit of you.<br />Well atleast thats Goblinism for me. And as with everything in this world: Goblinism is relative to the subject. (subject meaning person in this context)<br /><br />let the flames come my way.<br /><br />Grtz<br />SethSeth.onecopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07459158146078792311noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-83058829967245038992009-09-30T23:51:00.000-07:002009-09-30T23:59:42.548-07:00Banned: Controlling the market.Now this is pure pure bull.<br /><br />If you force a market to a specific price, and control the whole market for a specific part. oooh let's say herbalism. You'll get banned. I'm not joking either. You will get banned.<br /><br />Why?<br />Missuse of game mechanics....<br />I mean what the F***. Missuse of game mechanics? It''s just a monopolie...<br /><br />First off all:<br />Everyone that reported persons for something like that, you should get banned and go back to school. A monopolie is one of the most risky things to do in game. The amount of money you have to spend to get that monopolie. And you have to camp the AH to be sure you can buyout everything thats lowerpriced then your goods. It's hard work, so don't go whining.<br /><br />So this one is for my fellow Banker: Trissing, Bad luck man, hope you're alright.<br /><br />Grtz<br />SethSeth.onecopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07459158146078792311noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-23515167408349377662009-09-30T03:55:00.000-07:002009-09-30T04:05:38.669-07:00Must HAVE!This: <a href="http://www.ah-whoring.com/crafting-spreadsheet/">Crafting Spreadsheet</a>.<br /><br />I haven't tested it yet (since I can't play today).

The topic I wrote yesterday have brought on one of the heaviest discussions yet on this blog.<br /><br />And Thank you for all the comments, good and bad, ofcourse more the good than bad, but both must exist.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />A nice comment I got here was the following (in blue) My comments about his comment are in black.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Unimpressed. </span>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<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">I read this post and I felt it was useless and unnecessary, and not only because it parrots Gevlon's pet theme.</span> Same as what I said before.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">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. </span>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.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"> 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.</span> 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.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">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?</span> 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.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Open your eyes, look at the world around you. </span>I'm not even going to comment on that one.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">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. </span>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".<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">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.</span>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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Why isn't everyone as fortunate as me? Because they didn't work as hard.<br />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.<br />Comunism started out the same way... a good thought just not applicable in this day and age.Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03762002397586862820noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-29969468031428850002009-09-28T23:35:00.000-07:002009-09-29T03:37:41.130-07:00Goblinism<a href="http://www.darklegacycomics.com">Dark Legacy Comics</a> last episode showed the real goblin-way.<br />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?<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Grtz<br />Seth<br /><br />Edit: Spelling + link fixedSethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03762002397586862820noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-58736831904780880732009-09-27T22:57:00.000-07:002009-09-28T03:20:39.370-07:00Monday Morning Hang-over: Visitor thoughtsHey all,<br /><br />A weekend has passed and I saw 2 things on my Google-Analytics that struck me odd.<br />First off all: If I talk about the Podcast, if thats on my last RSS I drop from 350+ to around 200<br />Now this is a bit weird, and yet it's normal.<br /><br />People come here to read about gold making, How do I make gold and how can you make gold.<br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br />For the people that are actually interested in the podcast: it's comming out before 15th october.<br />always fun to sneak in some news between everything else.<br /><br />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.<br />When we were done with him he logged out 'cause I standed by his corpse for 30 mins...<br />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.<br />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.<br />I even got some arenas done again on my hunter, and I'm slowly starting to love it.<br />But thats not why you're here.<br /><br />Blogsphere,<br />A new Blog popped up: <a href="http://afistfulofcoppers.blogspot.com">A fistfull of coppers</a> (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.<br /><br />Grtz<br />SethSeth.onecopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07459158146078792311noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-6457280540824605592009-09-25T14:50:00.000-07:002009-09-25T15:07:00.366-07:00PreviewAfter 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.<br />It only lasts 10 seconds or so but if you love it say so, if not say so too<br /><br />Grtz<br />Seth<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz5pyxsYZ0IOVquQhDNmmrJ6MbQuiqdaL0v5s_wHMpwA8D4JZin80RRHxVgnpppnUSXqFfH245f5L2pIJqFdA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Seth.onecopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07459158146078792311noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926799573522803387.post-62441081770036765842009-09-24T23:35:00.000-07:002009-09-24T23:51:22.370-07:00Podcast: Segments...For my RSS readers: <a href="http://one-copper.blogspot.com/2009/09/crafters-corner-alchemy.html">Crafters Corner: Alchemy</a> Thats my real post for today.<br /><br /><br />As all of who listened to podcasts know, you need some segments in it.<br />The segments I'm playing with right now are:<br />-Crafters Gold -- What can you craft for money?<br />-1G please! -- making your first buck or make a stab at goldsellers/beggars<br />- My crops -- farming tips<br />- Hole in the purse -- On what NOT to spend money<br />- Ask Seth Copper -- Me awnsering your questions<br />- ....<br /><br />Now those are all money making segments or at least to a certain degree connected with it.
