Saying bakku and I followed your landtrading strat is like LaF claiming ownership for every techer to ever finish top ten.
I believe there was a RD/LAF trading thread where people said any advice would be welcome, as no one in LaF had traded before. If anyone wants to take credit for my finish that set I would say Rockman actually helped me the most. I do find it funny that people think trading is difficult, as bakku and myself both finished 390m+ on our very first attempt.
I will say the reset I finished 330m on a techer (Xin made 365m) was by far the most difficult country I've played, especially considering no one has sniffed 300m on a techer since that set (despite lots of FA).
that set the tech prices were insanely god like and people were still trying to figure out the market play that i had developed a few sets prior.
as far as laf netters go - i think hanlong is basically the same as hao2. most of hanlong's wins came in war sets when he started to farm far before others in laf were. hao2 does pretty much the same thing where he starts grabbing way before everyone else and puts in a pretty shiesty war performance. i wouldn't say that the land is being wasted when it goes to either of them, but as far as "skill" goes i dont find it very impressive when someone gets a large amount of free land and posts a good networth (this is akin to receiving free land by taking retals for others or landtrading). its not hard and nobody should really be impressed.
samxz basically netted in a period when there was virtually no netting competition. he did do quite well the one time there was competition, but he fell short due to some poor grabs that resulted in him getting AB'd a bit. he did win a few times, but with no competition its about as good as LT or candyman's win. when nobody cares about the netting set, then nobody cares about the win.
if bakku were still playing he would be my personal choice. nobody good cares about netting right now so you see all these people who pretty much suck at netting make t10 now. therefore, i would say that making t10 in the last few sets proves absolutely nothing regarding your netting abilities.
as far as the people who have been trading prior to laf did it for a couple sets: you guys are an absolute joke as well. you can barely beat our scrubs and you're absolutely no match for people in laf who are good and dont give a crap about the set. lol.
regarding the "last good techer set". i want to note that the tech market has changed dramatically since that set due to server politics. we will probably never see a techer set like that ever again. this is due entirely to politics.
