Well here's an easy one; solo farm Omen.

You can do it once a day, takes about 30-40mins and you generally will get 4 or so swart crystals which on most servers are 250k+

Easy 1 mill per run,...

I play maybe 10hrs a week and my gear is at best a C+

Making gil outside of sparks is not challenging and frankly I always considered it to be the worst return on investment

I'm glad they did...

I'm in favor of the cap as is.

It still allows players to make some gil for things like spells/food/etc

While this doesn't stop the ability of RMT to print gold, at the very least it slows it...

Can you clarify something?

Would these high priced items from NPC's be rare/ex? Crafting components?

What's going to prevent this benefitting players who bot gil, since they'll be able to...

There's a big difference between farming things to sell vs literally printing gil.

To the thread topic: We don't know what the cap is yet so lets not get too far ahead of ourselves.

If the...

Before I give examples i'd simply ask; if it offers no advantage why is it so much preferred over the in-game equipset function and why do so many use it and suggest it to new players?

Couple...

I'm reading your posts and wondering if you are just unaware of how ubiquitous some "tools" are, or if you truly think they have little to no effect? I can understand your perspective how some tools...

We can quibble about which add-ons do or don't make a difference, how much difference, and whether they should be baked in to ffxi or not at this point.

All valid discussion topics.

Some of us...

I wont sit here and claim it's a perfect solution. Ideally we should all expect and receive proper enforcement so our play isn't compromised, but we have to be realistic and pragmatic.

This...

Can you quote where I exaggerated..... anything?

And sure there aren't that many, but everyone has a subjective line of what they'll tolerate.

Not defending it but I can almost guarantee they are doing this a certain way as to not cost them anything to produce.

Basically, an outside company handles the making and shipping of the t-shirts...

I recall you bringing the topic of multi-boxing into this discussion in the OP:

It's clearly more of an issue for a certain group of "players"

It's not simply the multi-boxers that "cheat" that negatively affect the game. (whatever it is you mean by cheat)

They all do.

A single person soloing ambuscade can get X amount of hallmarks per month

That same person with 2 (or more) accounts can get X amount (times 2+) of hallmarks per month. Even if the alts just sit...

I'd be interested to see you elaborate on the assumption that multi-boxing is a net positive for the game.

You would acknowledge that it has led to some players quitting, yes?

I prefer knockbacks over most other mechanics really.

Nothing is more infuriating then getting stunned/slept/petrified etc and not being able to actually play the game for 30seconds to a minute....

I'm hoping, at the very least, SE will keep ffxi up even beyond when they stop developing.

Many games can enter "maintenance mode" and still turn a profit and i'd imagine a Final Fantasy title...

Games are a distraction from real-world affairs for me.

I'd rather they leave ffxi out of the situation so we can get some respite from the craziness

Any change in the rate is only going to exacerbate the issue because it will benefit these botters as well.

The only thing we can advocate for is policing of multi-boxing, but i'm not sure that is...

Ive played enough mmos to see that this isnt a problem unique to FFXI.

Every MMO has the issue of players burning through content too fast. Whether its through botting or playing 18 hours a day.
...

Please, this is very restrictive, and I think it doesn't serve the intended purpose.

It's the one barrier to making an Idris that I won't be able to deal with, and while I understand the purpose...

GEO AoE spells are decent. They won't outdo single target spells, and compared to BLM -ga and -ja spells they probably fall behind (haven't tested, or care to)

But i'm quite happy with them. This...

For GEO the spells are actually pretty cheap, and the nice part is the self target (Indi) spells are the only ones you need to purchase. The "placeable" spells (Geo) are simply obtained by going to...

I would recommend GEO.

To me, it's got a great blend of utility and damage. It's similar to BLM that you can nuke things, but you can also buff your trusts or debuff monsters pretty substantially,...

You don't need 3rd party plugins, never used them myself and i have fun just fine.

Also not sure i'd bring that up on the official forums...
