Their post says its action against RMT, yet a GM told me any player could be punished for participating in such a party. I want them to come out and say for sure if real players will be punished for it or if it was a misunderstanding and only those found to be RMT will be punished.Quote:

04-26-2013, 10:02 AMLuvbunnyYeah the same established players who understand how the FC party works. They rather go do something else like getting some sleep - and wake up to find their characters is already level 99. Why don't SE just start having NPC selling unique items (like those memoirs thing) that will give you 5-10 levels per use. And charge us with cruors or gills - make it rather expensive, say 100k-200k per level at lvl 75 and above. And limit for 5 levels a day or something.Quote:

Honestly, Abyssea is the best system they come up, by making cruors so easy to get and most of the best gears rare/ex - this render gills somewhat moot unless you are making relic and mythic or crafting. -

You can make 1.5m easy in 1 dyanmis run paying 500k to someone for an FC does not make you a gil buyer. FCing is probably the best way to level. Sad but true.

He duo-boxes on 2 xbox 360s and absolutely hates RMTs. I played with him for years in my sky / sea / limbus / einherjar and abyssea linkshells. He is absolutely not an RMT.Quote:

It takes what? 1 week of doing dynamis two hours a day to earn enough gil to FC every job to 99 in a pay per hour type party? Why would you have to be a gil buyer to do that? I don't think I know anyone who can't afford that. I guess everyone is an RMT now?Quote:

Am I understanding correctly that the issue is the admittedly annoying advertisement via shout/yell?
For example, if I were to go to an Abyssea area and, instead of shouting, use a search comment to notify others that I'm willing to power level them-- would that be okay? It hardly seems like it would be as effective, but that way I would still be able to let players know what I'm doing so they would be able to find me. No RMT activity, just an honest Mithra earning a living power leveling.
Please clarify the dev's stance on this. -

If spaming Jeuno for FC i annoying wouldn't spaming Jeuno shout/yells for getting people for VW or any other event be just as annoying?

I certainly don't want to farm dynamis every day personally. Besides that, the price is crashing with new content decreasing interest in relics + oversaturation of currency in the market. The price on Shiva has dropped by almost a third since the expansion came out.
Anyone who buys gil is L-A-Z-Y. They buy it because they don't want to spend the time making it- even if it's not "difficult" to do. Thus, these are the same people whom are likely top be the clientel of fell cleavers.
no matter how easy you think something is, there will always be people who don't want to do it. You'll probably ask "why play then?" Well, that's a good question. Ask a gil buyer sometime.
He'd be an exception to the rule. He also would have to rest/sleep sometime, so if he was in there all day every day for weeks straight, either he's super-human, has red bull for blood, or is using a bot program / script / keyboard macro.Quote:

Here's your clarification: yell in jeuno once or twice, set a comment, then go cleave. Don't use a mule to auto yell in town at regular intervals and you're fine.Quote:
