let's lock out the bearded old man in the nightgown

A bit more on the pricing structure from yesterday, because a friend made an excellent point. Here's that pricing table:



And here's that comment:

[16:15 PM] Fxxxxxx Uxxxxxx: That is not a significant enough change. It would need to change by enough so that people in very different price brackets would now be able to afford land. As it is, that will just make it so people that are already affording land will be able to do it a little bit easier, but it won't change who can have land and who won't for the most part.
[16:19 PM] Nxx Uxxxxxx: There will probably be some people who were on the fence before and now feel like they can afford it. But it's not much of a difference for most people I imagine.
[16:23 PM] Fxxxxx Axxxx: And the set up is the huge difference more than anything.
[16:26 PM] Fxxxxxx Uxxxxxx: It helps, but is still hecka pricy.

That. Yes. That was my point.

Also, for no earthly reason I can think of, buying Lindens went up from .99 as a surcharge fee, to $1.49 per %^&$@!# transaction, and I cannot figure out why, and it's massively irritating.

That, plus other factors, made me perhaps a wee bit snarky:

[13:29] Axxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: baby monkey board no group MM 81/100 Keraxic (47,187,25)
[13:30] Axxxxx Jxxxxx: baby monkey?
[13:30] Axxxxx Jxxxxx: like a stuffed animal type thing?
[13:30] Axxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: shoes, famous shoes
[13:30] rxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: Really great shoes, and clothes that don't make you look like a hooker
[13:30] Axxxxx Jxxxxx: o__O monkey shoes? those sound amazing
[13:31] Emilly Orr: Baby Monkey does shoes, but it'd help if you said what kind, if they're slink only or for other bodies, et cetera
[13:31] rxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: slink mainly I think
[13:32] Emilly Orr: MM says--clearly--Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, Magda platforms, spiked with chains, ten colors
[13:32] Axxxxx Jxxxxx: v.v oh...nvm for me then
[13:32] Emilly Orr: How hard was that, seriously?
[13:32] Axxxxx Jxxxxx: oh nvm then!
[13:32] Axxxxx Jxxxxx: ty!
[13:32] Emilly Orr: welcome
[13:32] Axxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: try this then: WellMade, no group 13/50 leather strapless top, maitreya hourglass pbhysique ebody and fitmesh sizes Hutter (71,117,28)
[13:32] staci1992: i need reasonably priced shoes badly
[13:33] Emilly Orr: That's all we ask. If there's a ton of body fits, can even say 'many mesh sizes'. We'd just like to know more than 'store mm board'

That's not overly onerous, I think.
