If we consider the NPC vendors to be similar to e.g. the Fed (lending newly created money without any real value), this actually is a wise move to counter virtual money devaluation. (But no matter how wise this is in the context of an economy, it does not make sense for a group of individual users to address those economic issues in an altruistic manner or even know/care about the NPC effect on the game's economy - it would be interesting to know the reasoning for this behaviour, do you have an idea/guess?)

They are called "information products" for goodness knows what reason, when e-books are often over-generalised when it comes to dispensing information, and have more opinions that they have something credible. Quote:

Some are drops (so therefor 100% profit even if you sell for less than the vendor would give you for it)... but many are crafted items. They're setting the price up at less than the NPC would give and often much less than the cost of materials.
So you really do have to question their cluefulness Anyway, this is derailing a bit so last I'll comment.

In the story, she does actually care alot for Clara because of the latter's disability, acting as a mother figure since Clara's mom died and her father is always away doing business. Interesting concept for a cafe.

I don't think than anybody would like it, but the situation is a bit different: mafia's menace isn't as dangerous as the taliban's one and until counter-proof, the italian gouvernement is more capable than the afghan one.

It is ironically enough true that the Italian military is more capable than the afghan one, but part of the reason is also because there's closer ties and co-operation between Italian and US forces, especially in Sicily than there are in Afghanistan. As you say, the threat of mafia isn't as dangerous from a military standpoint since their activity is more subtle and underground. My only point was to show that night raids aren't well appreciated and often not very effective in finding your target either no matter where you go, so if the US cut down on the night raids and focused on normal activity, it wouldn't incite Karzai to ask them to retreat, and night raids only cause more animosity against the US among the people.

NYU Photography professor has a camera implanted in his head
Does he get to turn it off when he's at home engaging in private activities, or will his nighttime companion(s) be on-screen in Qatar?
