antitwisted said:That particular quote, if that's what you mean, was a one off. But I've seen a few among the whale crowds say "I ain't broke so I spend!" etc, and a lot of people will say that NMS=broke, or people don't spend on the game, therefore they are broke etc.
I usually drop a little at the beginning of the year just to get the ball rolling. But to me the game wouldn't feel very rewarding if I just acquired every player that came out with my wallet. To each their own though, I don't think either side should try to make the other side feel bad about the way they choose to enjoy the game. I also don't think either side should feel the need to justify themselves either. A lot of the NMS crowd fail to realize that if the whales weren't out there ripping packs left and right then the market would look a lot different, and it wouldn't be pretty for them, or for any of us for that matter.
