Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ok here is my issue with this topic. Alot of people do alot of bitching about RMTs and seriously does this s**t really get to you one way or another. Now FYI i am not talking about the ones that camp NMs and use hacks to get claim, that s**t is just wrong. But the people that go on and on and on about someone being an RMT just cause they do'nt have a support job or cause there still Rank 1. FOr the love of god STFU about it. Maybe they do'nt know how to get a support job or have no one to help them with it. Maybe they do'nt want to do Rank mission cause they would rather level to higher levels first so they can breeze through the Ranks. Also Speed Hacks, i swear to GOB that this is just a joke. Just cause there not THF or /THF does not mean there useing a speed hack. There are a ton of items that give increesed movement speed.

Also so many people get pissed off about gil buyers. Ok well from a market stand point i can see where there comeing from but so many people get pissed off about it how the hell are the gil sellers mankeing any money if no one is buying the s**t.

Now for a disclaimer before i get flamed up the rear here. I do not support gil buyers, gil sellers, third party programs (any , even windower), or anything else that is lumped with this general understanding. If you still feel i need to be flamed feel free to do so cause you are crazy at this point in the game.

Also my lack of understanding these things may be that i do'nt fight with RMTs. I am not a high level and i really do'nt like the idea of Camping an NM (to much time wasted).


*Edit*

gonk I became a rank 1 windy after swaping alliances, got asked about lfg as a rank 2 windy at 70, got the item I was after though and swaped back to sandy afterwards...(it's a rare/ex rank 8 item for windy...had no choice, great peice of gear for rdm..have a rank 10 and rank 8 though now on the same char, weeeee.)

I really wish you would use more netiquette skills in these sorts of things. I'm having a bit difficulty following you.

But inflation has become a serious problem. And yes, it does make a difference. Last week I was earning some gil to buy a mahogany bed for my Mog house. At that time the price was around 70k. I finally get a bit more than 70k, go to the auction house, and come to find out that the prices have jumped to 120k.

Like I said, we need more gilsinks in the game. The events are the only times we get any real good gilsinks because of what the Moogles sell. Take our last event as an example. During the Sunbreeze Festival, the Moogles were offering up Rare/Ex +1 items from last year for sale. 25k for the top, 25k for the bottom. 50k right there total. Lots of people were purchasing these items because of their significance to the event. So, we need more sinks like this -- Offering up the special items for these prices.

The reason why inflation is so bad is because the money is being put back into the game. It's being transferred over to other users, who then continue building up on the price. And no, "higher prices mean easier money" is a lie.

It's annoying, yes, but it's not useless to complain. Many ideas can come out of complaining, and many ideas sometimes get heard.

Actualy inflation is a real problem that I had to deal with constantly before I took a break from FFXI.

I am a clothcrafter and my CC skill is 97.6, what I would do to make some of my gil would be to craft cursed mitts and hope for at least one -1 out of every batch. Well shortly after I started makeing cursed mitts RMT decided that they would start makeing their some of their cash with the gil they gained from selling Siren Hairs, the main ingreadient for cursed mitts. So there I am sitting at the AH watching in horror as the price of Sien hair went up, however dispite everything I could not seem to sell my cursed mitts any higher than the current sell price. Soon buying the materials cost more than selling the finished product. So I was stuck with a hard choice to make, keep makeing the mitts in hopes of getting a -1 enough to make up for all I lost on NQ and then some, or find other methods to make the gil I needed.

RMT's are a big problem and it needs to stoped.

bump

its not really RMT, sirens hair arn't even close to a cornerd maket at all, when you have O kote, thats a problem, but 90% of rmt dont naturals raise prices, they sell quick not put them up for outrageous prices

I'm sorry but i have heard better reasons then that for people being RMT what you have here is a HNM Shell that is camping one thing alot. /shocked that is what they do


This one really is hard to put your finger on cause there is more to it then just a few lines of statement.



Again there is alot more to think about here with your example. What is his sub, does he have any gear that gives him move speed, did he use an item to increase speed.
Two of those things you can say yes or no to. The third is hard to place and god-for-bid that he may be a high level in Alchmey.

ok i have'nt played FFXI for over 6 months now and lost track of some of the lingo sweatdrop . so will somebody please tell what RMT stands for xp ? question ? thanks in advance. blaugh
