It would be great for Chocobo Blinkers to stack to 99.

[Oscar71]

I was just wondering how nice it would be if the chocobo blinkers were allowed to stack to 99 from its current 12. I have made it my mission to use all my efforts to help chocobos great and small arrive to their destination in Abyssea. There is nothing worse when you need that 13th chocobo blinker for that poor scared choco called Burt, and you cannot help because you are only allowed to carry 12. If all truly care about these magnificent creatures, help me build a petition online to propose the change to the devs. Together we can all make a difference, especially in helping chocobos. Thank you!

I agree, I would like to make my gil a lot quicker and in as less trips as possible.

[Runespider]

They are making everything more difficult, nerfing stuff and balancing everything.

You really think they are going to leave the choco blinkers gil fountain alive much longer? My guess is they will nerf this around the time they add Legion, just as they have nerfed every other method that made gill too easy to obtain.

I agree also, I would like the ability to pickup the Chocobo for faster travel also!

Translation: Make it so I can stack to 99 so I have to go back to Abyssea less often when I fill up my inventory and have to head back to a NPC.

And it's idiotic. Why should it be ridiculous for people to make money.

This dev team leader is idiotic, why would it be suprising they do idiotic things? They make content designed to keep over half the playerbase from even attempting it to keep the "overpowered" gear very rare, they sure won't shirk away from nerfing a gil fountain like this.

FFXI is going back to old ways, old ways = nerf any means of making gil that's easy. Don't remember when they nerfed the NPC prices of weapons from mobs in castle O? or nerfing the npc prices of Bird Blood etc?

[Elexia]

Though I did find it kind of funny how ever since Abyssea days people were just saying how gil is worthless, so why would you complain about a gil nerf?

I thought it was worthless?

"I have a lot of gil but nothing to spend it on"

You'd be lying if you say you never heard this a lot the past couple of years.

They are making new content which has big gil sinks, Legion for instance. If they nerf means of making gil then most players will have to work really hard to make it again to do the new stuff. Most serious players won't be affected if they nerf this because we horded gil at the start of Aby, players like you will be hit by it (Judging by your first post in the topic), very much like in the old days when you would get people that had to miss events like Dyna etc because they didn't have enough money to pay the entrance fee.

"Abyssea players like you"..I'm pretty sure I've been playing FFXI since 2002, well before Abyssea was even a thought.

Most people I know that are long time players don't care about gil that much..or not enough to worry about running back and fourth to do choco blinkers after so long, you seem to.

Oh yeah, I forgot people can't pick up on sarcasm without a sarcasm tag.

(Especially considering it's quite obvious the OP was referring to gil making, not doing the actual OP.)

[Runespider]

Is that "I was being sarcastic but suck at it" or the "I'll say I was being sarcastic because I look stupid now"?

[cidbahamut]

Text doesn't carry inflection.

[Trumpy]

I caught the sarcasm though. Maybe cause i live and breathe sarcasm in my daily life tho.

I foresee a debate tho in this thread about weather he meant it or not and completely derailing the thread. I have heard alot f people say gil is useless, i really wish theyd send it to me cause i still have uses for it.

I have sworn before you and Almighty Altana the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly ten years ago.

The world is very different now. For Adventurers hold in their mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of Chocobo displacement. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around Vana’diel - the belief that the rights of Chocobos come not from the generosity of the Duchy, but from the hand of Altana.

We dare not forget today that they are the heirs of Gyshal Greens. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Adventurers - born in this century, tempered by Void Watch Drops, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace between Beastmen alike, proud of our ancient heritage - and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those Chocobo rights to be lead and given Blinkers on a timely basis so they may arrive safely to their destination!

Let every developer know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any lost Chocobo, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of navigating Chocobos.

This much we pledge. My fellow Adventurers, rise up and greet the world ahead, that we may not look on the Chocobo Blinker as a worthless item, but as a tool to the survival of this majestic creature! Abolish the limit of twelve Blinkers and allow for ninety-nine to be provisioned at one time. Square-Enix, ensure our success to help Chocobos everywhere!

It's so that don't have to make as much content. Pretty lame but understandable considering how old the game is.

They did that to combat RMT but it ended up hurting legit players. I honestly can't see them nerfing blinkers, and if they do there is still cells and cruor gear.

[Felren]

I don't see them changing it either way.

They probably won't increase the stack size because they're a low-man dev team (that or lazy) and have other things to work on. It would be really nice if they did it however :\ It really is time consuming.

Nerfing the gil you get from blinkers after people have been selling them for over a year would be a horrible thing to do. Nerfing a way to get gil such as blinkers would be something to do immediately when it was deemed to be a problem, not after many people have banked off of it. And anyway at this point, voidwatch has cruor sinks of cells and atmacites that help keep people from dumping too much of it.
