But think about what makes gasoline expensive. It's possible to produce many times what is currently being produced, but that would drive the price down, so it's in (everyone except the consumer's) best interest to limit the amount that leaks.

I bolded that line because you hit it right on the head with that. Personally, I've only ever seen one person on a rare ride in dangerous areas, and that was pedro. Whats the point of mounts at all if no one uses? No fun having them sitting in bank.

And its also not a lot of fun when someone who works 16 hours a day wants to come home and play a bit, do a little taming maybe. But some kid with no job can just farm stangs spawns all day and leave this other player high and dry. They could both be contributing members of the community, and neither of them has more right to the resource then the other. But one will always take away the others enjoyment of the game simply by playing, to me thats not a problem with the players but a problem with the game. Thats why I'm bringing up this discussion. Thats why this system needs serious re-evaluation.

I just want to see a level playing field for everyone, maybe its a lost cause eh? I'd like to see a taming market where prices are determined not through injecting scarcity, but based upon the actual time/cost of acquisition of the resource. Then you see a market where players compete against each other in pricing, and not in spawn hoarding. This system just seems completely backwards to me, but aparently most of the people here disagree on one level or another. At least I tried

Enjoy the suck system people, tamed 8 rides today, dont bother looking for um
