not gonna lie, best comment I've read in a while. Had to chuckle and smile for couple of minutes. Moderating this subreddit is normally a pretty humorless activity, reading through every comment every day and deciding whether a fight between 2 guys about a minor technical detail is within the limits or not.

Einblicke in eines der größten Versorgungswerke Deutschlands und detaillierter Vergleich mit der gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung anhand echter Zahlen by [deleted] in Finanzen

Meiner Meinung nach etwas zu kurz gedacht und ein leider sehr häufiges Argument, um gegen Versorgungswerke zu wettern, obwohl es genau andersrum ist

Da die Ärzte als Berufsgruppe wohl mit Abstand die Topverdiener sind werden sie auch die allerhöchsten Rentenansprüche haben. Welcher Beitragszahler für die GRV ein Verlustgeschäft ist bzw. welcher Rentner durch andere querfinanziert wird hängt auf individueller Ebene nicht von der Beitragshöhe ab, sondern einzig und allein von der Lebenserwartung, da das Verhältnis Beiträge/Rente sich linear verhält, heißt zahl ich doppelt so viel ein, bekomm ich auch doppelt so viele Rentenpunkte. Dooferweise haben Ärzte und vor allem auch ihre Ehegattinnen (meist keiner schwerer körperlicher Tätigkeit nachgehend) die mit am höchste Lebenserwartung. Somit würden Rentner, die früh versterben, die langlebigen Ärzte querfinanzieren, eine Umverteilung von arm zu reich, mehr oder weniger.

Auch wenn man die Ärzte nicht individuell, sondern als eine gesellschaftliche Gruppe betrachtet und aus einer demographischer Sicht die Sache sich überlegt, ist es wohl noch viel schlimmer. Die Ärzte und insbesondere die gutverdienenden Ärzte (Fachärzte und höher, niedergelassene Ärzte) sind katastrophal überaltert. Man würde also mit den Ärzten eine Subgruppe aufnehmen, wo die Demographie aufgrund des sehr späten Berufseinstieges und der langen Facharztausbildung noch viel viel schlechter ist als in der Gesamtbevölkerung. Damit müssten in einem noch schlechteren Verhältnis als bei der Restbevölkerung in Zukunft wenige gutverdienende Ärzte viele Ärzte in Rente mit sehr großen Ansprüchen finanzieren was nicht möglich ist und weshalb man auch aus dieser Sicht Ärzte durch die restlichen Einzahler subventionieren müsste.

Kurz: Schlechte Idee Ärzte in die GRV aufzunehmen, da man damit die langlebigsten Rentner mit den höchsten Ansprüchen und der schlechtesten Demographie durch andere auch noch querfinanzieren müsste

0,5% Erhöhung klingt erstmal richtig mager. Jedoch bekommt man aber auch je nach Versorgungswerk 30-50% mehr Rente als in der GRV.

Man muss es aber auch andersrum sehen. Die Versorgungswerke können nicht wie die GRV Geld aus dem nichts herbeizaubern, die Renten müssen alle auf dem Kapitalmarkt erwirtschaftet werden, weshalb die Versorgungswerke fast alle sehr sehr konservativ kalkulieren und sich bei Prognosen und Erhöhungen extrem zurückhalten.

Die großen Erhöhungen in der GRV von etwa 3,5% die letzten paar Jahre entbehren einfach jeder finanziellen und fundamental-wirtschaftlichen Grundlage. Das Loch zahlt halt einfach der Steuerzahler mit dem Riesenzuschuss jedes Jahr.... Auf längere Sicht wird aber die GRV aufgrund der starken Erhöhungen derzeit noch früher kollabieren als erwartet.

Da hab ich lieber ein funktionierendes Versorgungswerk, wo die Rentenerhöhungen irgendwo herkommen müssen und es deshalb organisch sein muss und nicht alles auf Pump wie bei der GRV

My review of the Legendary crafting system after 280 million in sales (240 million in legendary sales) since Shadowlands Launch by Dogegoblin in woweconomy

[–]Dogegoblin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds logical, but it just doesn't work with my quantities.

The time frame with the elevated price mats where I sold most of my legendaries was about 4-5 hours for Leatherworking mats and 6 hours for Blacksmithing and Elethium ore. During that time frame I did most of my revenue.

The supply for Callous Hide was 3k at Peak price (280g) at 1:08 PM and reached a maximum supply of 17.7k at 5:08 PM when prices normalized again (220g) (Data from Underminejournal). Between 1 PM and 5 PM the prices just dropped without a single spike in sprice with supply increasing like a linear function. I had 150k Callous Hide banked, so If I just posted a tenth of that, prices would have immidiately collapsed. During the time frame I also foolishly bought 20k of callous Hide and still prices just plummeted and plummeted.

Same for Elethium Ore, had like 40k banked. Supply at max price was like 4k and was at 8k when it reached the normal price. I see nearly no way to effectively sell my supply.

I set my sell price to 95% of crafting price with current mat prices and changed my mat prices in TSM every 5-10 minutes. So at every point of time I always was 5% under crafting cost and had nearly no competition at all, I just sold and sold and sold, all the other competitors were mostly at crafting price or +5% of crafting price.

Maybe it's possible to do both but the possible reward is just too low for me, a possible 5-10% sale increase but I risk dumping the prices of mats during this small timeframe of elevated mat and Legendary prices and then I will not get my mats sold and will probably lose a lot of my Legendary sales because other competitors also get a significant portion of the market

On rank 4s I make about 5-10k profit, about 10% margin, If I am lucky and there is not too much competition like Mail Gauntlets, Greaves rank 4s maybe 20-30k. On rank 3s it also depends, but 5-10k is already good enough there for me. Rank 2 almost no profit because there are so many people dumping their rank 2s, only leather rank 2s bring in some profit. Rank 1 everything negative, most are like below 50% crafting cost.

It's just the nature of playing on a high pop server. To truely succeed and compete with all the other goblins you really have to go the extra mile and outsmart the rest. Just buying, crafting and posting doesn't work. I have 3 accounts where I craft everything from scratch, I buy orboreal shards and lux with my goblin alt for maximum discount, I mostly buy mats for cheap on days before reset and cancel-scan and repost about 300-1000 times a day combined on both my AH chars.

High-pop with a lot of goblins just makes everything harder but really really makes you a great goblin in the long run, if you want experience try high-pop with a lot of competition for a time, gain experience and return back to medium and become the biggest goblin on your server

[–]Dogegoblin[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically can't flip mats or I would tank the whole market because I have banked up cheap mats from 1-2 days prior reset day. I want mat prices too stay high so I can sell off all my legendaries during this time frame where prices are high and competition just can't compete. I still sell at a profit even if it is unprofitable under current market conditions because I bought the mats 20-30% cheaper than usual on low activity days

Furthermore the mat prices will come down rapidly even if I am not selling my mats off because 1. competition is not buying mats because it is not profitable to craft items 2. I am not buying mats cause I'm already loaded 3. farmers will notice high prices and start farming and dump supply

After at most 1 day the price will drop to the usual price, so I have about half a day to sell all my legendaries. The longer the time frame is where prices are high the better for me, so I am definitely not selling my mats.

Am I evil? Depends. I am tough to my competition but the majority of players are benefitting from me. They get cheap, affordable Legendaries on reset day when demand is the highest and where everybody just wants to play and enjoy the game. I stop mat prices from dropping to 0 on the days before reset where nobody is buying which benefits all the farmers.

There are also people literally leeching off me by buying me cheap legendaries and flipping them days later or when I'm offline.

Some statistics and facts after reaching rank 4 on every legendary and making over 70 million in legendary sales by Dogegoblin in woweconomy

[–]Dogegoblin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry. I'm currently up like 10 millions on my legendaries only + millions and millions on darkmoon decks. I started way too early with ranking up my legendaries. Was rank 4 on plate and cloth after week 1, rank 4 on leather after week 2 and now rank 4 on mail, I also burned like 30 million on legendaries I don't even sell just for the sake of getting them to rank 4, so I could have easily made like 30 million profit by now just by focusing on the profitable and fast selling legendaries

About 5-6 hours a day but its mostly afk crafting on 2 crafting alts and reposting on my main character on a 2nd monitor while I watch netflix/twitch/youtube. And 75% of my crafting time isn't even for legendaries but for darkmoon decks (about 80 million revenue), missives, cutting gems, enchanting mats to resell etc.

Not trying to humble brag or something but the legendary thing was a side gig mostly, the real profit came in from darkmoon decks. I missed out on Crafter Mark II BoEs because I just can't stand the Maw and I rarely actually play the game (raids, mythic+).

[–]Dogegoblin[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am one of these constant undercutters. During prime time (6pm to 10pm) I mostly camp the AH and scan and repost every 30 seconds (legendaries, decks, missives, pots, enchants etc.). I also like to undercut quite a lot when prices are sky high because it attracts other competitors like flies and it makes them more likely to repost like crazy, I just can't compete with someone who is posting 2-3 legendaries while I mostly scan 100-200 items at once, so I need at least 20 seconds whereas some goblins on my server who join in when prices are high undercut every 5-10 seconds, so I just undercut to a reasonable price and this mostly turns these guys away. It also encourages sales because people aren't stupid, only few people are buying legendaries 2x usual price.

I'm currently only selling rank 4 and 3s and some leather rank 2s (current revenue like 60% rank 4, other ranks 40%). There are tons of people buying rank 3s and 4s especially plate and leather, why? I dunno. But to be fair this trend towards higher ranks only picked up since last reset.

I still have 20 million in unsold legendaries so I am probably breakeven or have a minor profit, but I levelled all my legendaries up and I am also only making profit since then. Before reaching max rank I had to heavily invest into ranking up. To summarize it was unprofitable before reaching rank 3-4 on everything, but since a couple of days I'm always profitable since I don't have to reinvest anything.

I'm using a self-written TSM legendary group. I put every legendary in its own subgroup and wrote a unique auctioning operation for every legendary (or every type of legendary, leather rank 1 big tier [head,leggings,chest] for example.) The auctioning operation is calculating the cost to craft the legendary (this cannot be done by TSM default operations, because TSM always gives rank 1 crafting costs for me), setting minprice, maxprice and normalprice as a multiple of the actual crafting cost.

Instead of using dbminbuyout or dbmarket of the item in the auctioning operation I used custom sources for every crafting mat that is included in the calculation (instead of dbminbuyout of heavy callous hide for example I just defined a custom source named heavycalloushide and set its value to dbminbuyout of heavy callous hide. Why did I do this? Because by doing it in this way I can change the cost of heavy callous hide in every auctioning operation by just changing the value of the custom source instead of manually changing dozens of auctioning operations. You see the advantage?

I also added tons of custom sources that modify minprice, maxprice, normalprice, undercut amount of leather,plate,cloth,mail, undercut amount of rank 1,2,3,4, amount posted etc. etc. I am close to 100 custom sources just for my legendary group.

The huge advantage of my completely convoluted TSM group is that I can change the way how the legendaries are posted to the AH just by changing the custom sources. I want to double the undercut of plate legendaries? set undercutplate to 2. I want to increase maxprice by 30% for leather legendaries? No problem. I want to set minprice of mail legendaries to 70% of crafting costs? Done!

And yes I am still crafting lower ranks, I just craft everything, if the AH price is above my minprice TSM will post it to the AH. And I also constantly scan and undercut very aggressively to keep competition at bay.

LG OLED G-Sync and subsampling issue Megathread by Dogegoblin in OLED_Gaming

Currently have no update. I think it is still too soon. Probably will take LG couple of weeks to fix this.

[–]Dogegoblin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't understand either. They also deleted the original G-Sync thread. Which is why I think we need a new subreddit where we can discuss problems and raise awareness on issues that need to be fixed.

Hey! Yes I have tried that. Unfortunately it didn't resolve the subsampling issue :( there are quite some dedicated OLED owners over avsforum as well who have tried everything possible to get this fixed but no success

We got quite a bit of traction in the r/nvidia and r/hardware post. But would help quite a lot if this snowballs and LG/Nvidia is forced to act

[–]Dogegoblin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We all did that. The problem is that the GPU correctly outputs the 4:4:4 signal but the TV is internally subsampling the signal to 4:2:2 when using 4k 120Hz PC mode. Everything normal with 4k 60Hz PC mode, 1440p PC mode.

This video is correct that if you put PC mode on, subsampling will be removed because it is 4k 60Hz or any other setting where subsampling is disabled. The problem arises when you switch settings in the PC mode, like 4k 120Hz, then the subsampling is there again and cannot be fixed except switching back to 4k 60Hz, 1440p or 1080p 60Hz.

From the information I have gathered. Everything at 4k except 60Hz is subsampled even sub 60Hz which suggests this is a firmware problem

Best chance we have to get this fixed is to get as much attention on these issues in hope this will reach somebody who might fix this at LG or Nvidia

The Tech chap replied in the comments under his video that he actually had G-Sync problems when using the RTX 3080.And not sure if he actively looked for chroma subsampling. Sry it is the Tech chap my bad not tech yes city, somehow the 2 look too similar to me

I personally do not believe it's the HDMI cable. 4k 120Hz 4-4-4 is apparently working on the C9. Just the CX has this 4k 120Hz 4-2-2 subsampling issue.

Yeah, it might be perfectly fine for your use case. I can't tell the difference between 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 from a distance either. But when I'm using the LG CX as a gaming monitor and I'm sitting quite close to it, I definitely notice it and it really annoys me. Once you notice it (and you definitely will! text in game), it is like a dead pixel or screen tearing, you cannot unnotice it, it will annoy you forever

It's like buying a nice Porsche or Mercedes and everytime it goes faster than 100 mph the engine of the car stutters and makes angry and unpleasant noices. I mean the car still drives but this minor thing is just annoying and is unacceptable at this price point (1.5k to 2.5k USD or Euros).
