A fine position to take. I am trying to predict the future, of course, and I haven't played many merchant characters which you cite as the ones that will bring us out of this slump.

Maybe it does just take a couple merchants to turn it around. It's true: there are obviously not many merchants around as it is.

Maybe it's just that my old tricks of making money don't work in this economy, and with no merchants around, I'm going to perish. Maybe if there was merchant around for me to work for I would be doing okay.

But I'm going to stand by my observations.

I see a hole in the economy and all the liquid assets are flowing out. I also think it's just a matter of time before it becomes a problem.

Just a matter of time, says I.

I also see people running around in Kaiden armor and people that resort to cannabalism and eating freshly killed ferrets!

But we'll see.

Thus spake the soothsayer, Drayab.
