Profiting?

Ok this might be a old thread, but is profiting horrific and unneccesary? Or it's just part of the game. I feel like new players are being scammed because they aren't used to the prices of the game yet? If it is, should we have a way to prevent it? I would like your opinions :D

This is a link to my home realm. If you go to the portal with a sign on it you'll be at my newest creation. If u donated something make sure to say in this post (Donations must be c, or mention in this chat if u want to donate an item). I'll add you to the donations list :D
Profiters are the people who have c to do pulse games, bomb games, host events, and donate to poor players. It's sad but money is important in this game and no select people should be hated for wanting to make money
HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHA Nobody donates. Mark one person that donates like a bronze piggy or something. Donation to poor players doesn't work i tried it on an alt at level 0.
And if you are lvl 0 it means the first thing you did is downloaded the game and instantly started begging without trying to get cubits yourself :l
Not many people "donate." I myself admit that I have donated to players less than 5 times in my time of playing. I definitely don't give to those who ask for it. The best way to help others is advice and not donations; you need to learn how to get your cubits so that you don't waste them all.
On profiting, I find no problem in doing it for several reasons: you (probably) worked hard for your cubits. You can bargain for a lower price. Turning around and immediately selling it for a higher price than you bought it is not wrong either. By buying the item for the price you bought it, you are saying "I will buy this item at this price as a guaranteed sale for you. Or, you could not sell it for this price, but have to find another player." By trying to sell it for a higher price, you are not ripping off the seller. It's harder to sell an item for a higher price. Stone, silver, and gold are in very high demand. Coal and iron not so much, but you can generally find buyers if you sell for less than 10/1c. I am another one of those people saying that mining gives you a ton of cubits, but I am not insanely exaggerating. I sell stone 15/1c, silver 18/1c, and gold 20/1c and they sell within minutes at a plot in Pen's Yard Rentals.
I also support buying resources and re-selling them. You are offering a player a set price they can sell to you easily and confidently. However, they could sell the ores themselves somewhere else for more. They are making more money, but they are putting in more work as well. As a result, the miner with the resources has choice 1. of selling the resources for a low price with ease, or 2. selling them for a higher price with more work put in (finding another buyer).
That's my stance on profiting.
