No no, he meant that the stuff you buy in shop is obtained, as in received, in game from the postman ¦]

No MECHANIC that relies on it. So I can't craft flint and steel, but since it's only used to light things I can use tinder drill and get the same result.

WE IMPLEMENT, is that only implemented since MM took over?

And is "obtained" a magic word that, as mentioned above, is a get-out-of-jail free card since we can murder and loot?

The fact you can obtain every item in the game, in the game, without ever using the store. Is all you 'need' to know in regards to QQ whine whine "I don't want to use the store" complaints. How, when, where, why you can get each item is up to the players to figure out.

There are at least a few players I have witnessed who have in their possession every item offered on the store, and yet I find, they have in no way made a store purchase. This shows me the system works just fine.

Then for myself it probably looks something like: harvest cotton, skin beaver and bears, sell processed results, buy items from others with my free silver.

Good enough. I'd be happy to convert someone else's real money in to, for example, flint and steel, then give them 3 or 4 times the corresponding silver for it. I guess the only thing I can think of then are the bad caps that people cannot take off. Do they get to keep the hats after a dev or mod lets them remove them?

You can remove the bad caps from other players.

Pitchfork. Hurray..

You already harvest hay fast, why is this good?

-- Was very disappointed with this tool. For 10$, maybe it could pull 2 hay out instead of 1?? Never have I been sitting there bemoaning the time wasted pulling hay from the haybale.

It will certainly get a buff. Especially with the Animal Husbandry patch. For now though, it felt reasonable to have a single tool in there that was a bit below the rest as it makes the others that much better.
