Quote:This is exactly what happens, if it wasnt happening before only because tamers refused to put those ugly mounts on the market so others couldn't gain any skill, then that is evidence of a problem. Miner's sell iron which many people use to gain tink, or bs, why wouldnt a tamer sell his crap mounts to the market. Just to stop anyone else from gaining skill and possibly taming a stang you tame? Maybe I'm just dense but it feels wrong to me to do this.
Miner's sell ingots so that other players can gain tink and smithing. It's not the same for taming. Just because another player has GM smithing or GM tink doesn't mean that you can't smith a set of armor or make an assembly. For taming, once there are loads of GM tamers then each tamer has less of a chance of doing what they do as tamers; TAMING! Therefore, you can't put taming and smithing in the same sentence :/. You're comparing apples and oranges.

d. one person's use of the good diminishes another person's ability to use it.
Quote:4 reasons this current mount system sucks
only one of these is a rival in consumption, d, which fits the definition. That's why it was bolded
