new blm spells

[InspectorGadget]

That BG narrative doesn't fly here. Saying people are "lazy" for wanting these scrolls to be readily available for reasonable prices doesn't make it the case. From what I've read. no one on these threads is suggesting any such thing. Mages/Bards/Ninja will need these spells, and restricting access to them (i.e. artificially limiting their supply) only encourages ne'er-do-wells to jack up prices to near-astronomical levels. That is wrong and you know it. Can anyone really justify posting any kind of scroll for 8 million gil without sounding like an absolute tool (or a Libertarian. You make the call)?

The same members of that charming society known as BlueGartr who spout this nonsense about "lazy" players are probably the same folks who have endorsed and used every exploit in the book, past and present, to preserve their "elite" status for the least amount of effort.

I'm also leery of the direction S-E is taking post-Abyssea. They seem to be bound and determined to make the same mistakes they made in 2005-6 where it concerns artificial rarity of vital spells.

Pretty much this.

Have you really never looked at Phalanx, Raise III, Refresh, or Utsusemi: Ni? Plenty of powerful spells come from BCNMs or from (previously) powerful NMs. Scorpion Harnesses and Haubergeons used to be exceedingly rare, too, back when D Ingots and V Claws were really hard to find and only dropped off HNM-tier monsters.

People were pissed off when Abyssea made the game easy. Now the Dev team is normalizing things again, and adding in content that isn't a gimme. People should be overjoyed.

Yeah, and who was controlling that market in that area? the RMTs. I'm sure people are glad that they dont have to spend RL money to obtain decent gear in this game anymore.

If people were pissed that Abyssea made the game "too easy", guess what, they can quit the game too. As another person stated in that other blm spell thread, nobodys gonna miss em.

Katie, I don't think anyone called you lazy for simply asking if people have found out where/how to get the new spells. It's more directed at those who immediately start whining when it turns out the scrolls aren't buyable from npcs.

As for the scroll of ThunderV sold on Asura, that looks like a mule. Quite possibly someone who's trying to push the price way up from start. The scrolls will sell for however much people are willing to pay for them. Can't blame the seller only, it's just as much the buyer's fault when something is priced ridiculously high and still sells.

The negative attitude is astounding though - Can't do those BC fights. Don't have friends to do them with. Shout groups always fail. Can't do WoE. Don't have anyone to go with. Don't want to do those BC fights. Don't want to do WoE. Will never be able to afford the scrolls off the AH. Can't even make gil to be able to afford those scrolls from the AH.

With that kind of attitude towards it, then no, you will never get those spells.

If someone is willing to pay 8M for a scroll, someone will sell it for 8M. If someone is not, they will have to lower their price. Capitalism 101.

Even you could probably beat these HKCNMs, Hayward. They're that easy.

Look, I don't mind that we have to go do the BCNM for these spells, all I want is to have the npc warp you DIRECT to the bcnm area so you do not have to waste 20 mnts or longer to get there. And give us warp scroll after you complete one so we can repeat this over and over till we run out of seals. Also if they can raise the drop rate to 20% instead of 5%. This way people still have to make an effort if they want these spells but it is not a retarded grind where you get mostly nothing for almost 95% of the time. The old ways need to DIE and GO AWAY for GOOD!!!
