this is the result of the real economy being so utterly shit, that everyone is in total gambling mode, trying to make it from anywhere they can. it's a rush for whatever resources people can get their hands on before the fall. yes they're retarded and greedy npcs who don't know why they're doing this, but it's their subconsciousness is telling them to just accumulate as much wealth as they can. this is basically the same kind of selfish group of assholes that made it through the commie era in china and their kids are going to be even worse resource hogs.
