Only looms that belong to me were done through gens, 3 MW total. If I feel the need for some loomed armor there is usually something I can borrow from armoury. Beyond that the only use I have for the market is selling the occasional loompoints from lvl'd alts to feed my expensive cav habit. Of course there's gonna be complete assholes who feed off of other people's idiocy or impatience. That filth is present whenever you set up any kind of trading in any game. You aren't forced to interact with them in any way. Just like in RL they like to think they are the driving force and heart of capitalism, when really they are the antithesis of production. Just parasites who convince themselves they are beneficial to their host organism. "Speculators", the most worthless job in existence, and paradoxically one of the highest paid.
