Why people buy and sell groups.

People only do this because they get the offer to buy it for cheap and sell for way more, hence why Hope bought Loyal from Philly, because he paid for the group with no transfers and he can sell for more and the buyer has to pay transfer.

I think it's wrong but whatever, Philly make a buck so who cares. Look out future group owners, if there are any.

I'm saving up for a group and mine would be forever. I don't like how people treat groups so bad.
 
I'm not even selling Loyal anymore homie... I still need a co-leader... IK that I offered it to McLovin but that was when I was in need of money. I won't be in need for money for a little bit. I hope I didn't offend you guys that are buying and selling groups by obtaining a group and offering it to others the day I got it.
 
Chill, you've owned the most groups on this website, I find it hypocritical that you even think to say this. FK has changed from what it used to be, the main focus isn't to have fun, but instead is to make the largest amount of money, possible, no matter what. Take when I sold you the group Heaven for example, you didn't do anything with it, it was resold, remade and the cycle continued as it always does, Philly has the system set-up in his favor, and why shouldn't he? You can't go back from what's happened in the past, if you want groups to become high quality again, you need to revolutionize what high quality actually means, not the twisted standard that foreshadows the quality and potential some of the users have on here.
 

Megaman. You need to change your name to fucking Yoda lol.
 
I believe they're bought and sold so quickly because they're cheap. Since they're cheap, everyone buys one with no goal in mind whatsoever. So then it becomes a "HQ" group or an "invite only" group. A few people wear the userbar and that's it, no one posts in the subforum. Then the owner gets bored of it, so the want it gone quick, which is why they're cheap in the first place. I don't know how long it's going to take until people finally realize that having a purpose for a group is necessary. The "HQ" thing is overdone, especially when a member joins, buys a group after 5 days, then wants to be the most "HQ" group there is. I think I went off topic, but there's my rant.

Well, @Hope still owes me like $250 anyways. Don't know why he bought a group.

You broke the TOS on your method sales. You are selling for half the price you sold to me. I also do not owe you 250 it would be 200 if anything but, I won't pay you because the method hasn't even worked for me lmao. I didn't buy this group anyways. You saw your aim messages. Stop bringing this up. You can post a scam report if you want. You specifically stated that you would only sell to 2 people. Over 5 people have it now. Don't bring this up again.
 

The groups I cared about I kept which was clear, Superior, Alpha and Arcane at the time. I left for a good amount of time. I sold up and left, hence why I owned 0 groups. I have only purchased these 2 because I'm back and decided to buy a few groups, simple.



Is that this stupid YT method? He tried to pawn it off to me.
 
I understand that, but what I'm saying is the purchasing and sales of groups, as well as their frequency of occurring, is largely influenced by your past actions. Superior was the longest standard used group I've seen, Arcane and Alpha didn't survive very long in your hands, and for good reason. Your definition and my definition of leaving are two entirely different ideas, leaving means an actual break, no contact with the forum what-so-ever, you might as well never had left, it didn't even constitute a thread saying your back. Groups are meant to be something to aspire for, but there's two sides of the spectrum, Hide with his group where it is never used, but also never sold, and then the common group, where it flourishes with activity for a good week or so, and then the hype dies down and the owner realizes they have other things they'd like to buy, and turn to sell the one item they don't see as much value in. Purchasing groups for elevated prices doesn't mean your wanting to keep them, or put them to good use, there's no improvement when everything becomes dictated by one person. Whatever your intent with these groups you, as well as McLovin are buying, everything from the past must be taken into account, as to create a false view of high quality, which i explained in my first post, is the road it seems we are going to be going down, again.
 

My past actions have nothing to do with the current influx/price/activity or anything with the groups. I may have had the most groups so what?

I did leave, I was inactive on here for a long time, so what I never made a welcome back thread, what for? Who cares that I'm back, not very many. I'm glad you posted Megaman, I always admired you but you never saw that.

Says the user who waste money and people's time on groups. You're saying it's wrong to make profit? Why? FK's a Market based forum. It's all about profit.

Says the user who changed a fellow Staff members login details and banned all the Staff members using his account. Go away.

Well, I don't to derail this topic, but don't speak where you know nothing. It'll be really worse if I start naming your abuses.

Nothing can be worse than screwing over your Staff position and a good friend you once had, nice one. All of the shit you could say on me is nothing, go ahead.

Nothing's worse than asking people to rep you via PM's, AIM, Skype. Nothing's worse than asking people to add Kudos to your post. Nothing's worse than multi-accounting and creating unnecessary work and drama for Staff to handle. I left Staff at own will. It concerns none except Philly.

Now who may that be Jimmy. I know alot of other things you've done as staff, apart from you hacking my account.

I used to trust you, but now I don't even want to even sign up to your so call "new site", as I don't want you selling my info. Will this one also get hacked as well, by Sinisterly, or should I say Kirito?

Look Jimmy, you screwed up big time. Plus I think your lucky to even be back. Look at Ocean, he got banned PERMANENTLY for leaking IP addresses, and he hasn't come back. So count yourself lucky. Plus if he can't have his position as staff back neither should you, plain and simple. If you ever bought or conned to come back as Staff, I would leave, as I don't trust you behind that userbar.

Thank you someone that understands the screw up that Jimmy made.

That is a whole lot of cock and bull.
 
I recently bought a group, I have an idea of who I want in it already. If they are willing to all do what I want I think I could make this group the first of it's kind here.
 

Shows how much sense you've to bother replying to off-topic. You know your deeds behind the badge. I'm not even gonna comment on your posts. It shows how desperate you're to help your friend to turn the sides. See, what the topic has become? Just like you and Chill unnecessary bumping my topics, asking me to leave. Shows how much sense you've as a staff, when you yourself created a multi-account for Chill to abuse. But, hey who cares? You guys have 4 digit reputation on FK and money to spend virtually. Not saying that you contribute but shows how you both have derailed the topic, just to keep Chill's view positive. How long will you favour Chill, just because he's an aussie?
 

"unnecessary work and drama for Staff to handle"

You've summed your Fk life up in that one statement, well done.

Quite hypocritic and ironical comment.
