[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 1456211, member: 12332"] Yea, on the far edges of the curve, stuff starts to break down. As I said, it's a price I'm willing to pay. I won't have anybody with a +500 Wealth, for one, so it won't ever come up. Two, the DC and whatnot are listed for a single gun, single rate, personal purchase at a store. If the Sultan O' Brunei wants to buy 1200 Glocks then he goes to the manufacturer and asks for 1200 Glocks, then he's quoted a price for the lot, the DC is 36 or whatever and he swipes his SultanExpress card and goes on with the rest of his day, losing only one Wealth. The system is created to deal with single-item/on-the-fly/consumer-purchase style transactions ... that's what it does, and it does it well. The fact that you can't take a Wealth DC and use it, as is, to purchase 500 Glocks doesn't really mean anything. It's like saying that my parachute works great when I jump out of an airplane, but it doesn't work as well when I jump off the roof of the house, so the parachute doesn't work. Or that SCUBA works great for diving but isn't as useful in the bathtub. On the surface it may seem like buying one Glock from a gun store in Vice City is exactly like buying 1200 Glocks, but it's not. --fje [/QUOTE]
