Just joined FFXI again after 2 years away, and for 2 weeks got few geode drops per log on whilst leveling, giving me a steady amount of gil for food, jugs ect. Thought the game a lot better since i left, cos the economy seemed to improve, now since 14th feb update, been getting just crystals for drops, no goede, and hence no money, and i was taken right back to the reason I left, no money, stupid amount of farminf to earn small asmount of gil, this part of the update was a step back, and i might leave again cos of it, shame because the game is great, and seems to be still alive and many players, real shame.
