No, just no.
Besides.. we are still waiting for the proof of an i7 running 20+ clients you promised several months ago, any progress on that so far?
Exactly so. Pure example of textbook speculation. Since there could never be any solid proof, as to why the price of anything went up or down, you speculate about the reason. Moreover, such fluctuations are usually caused by a number of factors. Just because you and some other dudes call it "decline in the number of chinese bot farms", it doesn't mean this is what causes any visible changes. To me, personally, it has more to do with the teaser website. Exactly because this is a speculation, the prices will soon plunge back to bottom.
With that cleared up, i am sorry to say, that i never bought a 3770K. I had that planned in case i need 20 more toons, but in light of the recent mass bans and the dead economy nowadays, i decided to hold back on that, at least for now. I am still saying this is totally doable, however. U must know, tho, that when i made that claim, i wasn't thinking about running neither 5 x 4 char party setup, nor 20 mp10 skip barbs. Since then, i've found out, that these things affect the CPU usage dramatically, so it might be much more efficient to run less such setups instead of 20 single monks at, say, mp3. Also, RDisabler plugin is pretty effective for minimizing the CPU and GPU usage, which further complicates the situation to an extend, where it has to be tested for one to know for sure. My wish is, that the economy changes for better, maybe after the 1.09 itemization or the expansion, so i could actually do that. Again, i strongly believe that it is possible, but using low MP single chars- sadly, very inefficient.
