Converting cruor to gil

[Reiterpallasch]

Just because they haven't nerfed it yet, doesn't mean they won't.

After all holy waters just got the nerfbat recently, after having their NPC sale price stay the same for oh, I dunno... 10 @#$%ing years.

This method of gil acquisition makes it stupid easy to trap and locate RMT.
Lotta gil they've been freezing the past year - http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/rule/specialtask.html

Don't think they'll adjust it any time soon.

Because they can clearly tell the difference between RMT and someone making a relic? Someone giving gil to a friend?

SE has historically (anyone remember gardening bans?) just taken a guess with banning people. Then when you did nothing wrong they make you go through hell to try and play again.

People get banned just for having too much gil. It is asinine and beyond obnoxious and it does happen to the wrong people.

The RMT boogeyman should be long past dead, and players done crying with a bridge built over their stream of tears. RMT help keep the game alive just as much as you do. This is not 2005 anymore.
They do not get in the way anymore and take the NMs you want, the XP camps, or really even do any harm anymore since they just cruor burn and fish bot. You should all thank the stars over Sarutabaruta that they have such a benign way of coexisting with players in this game. In fact with their fell cleave burns allowing people to (pretty much for free after selling cruor) go level up while going afk and being in the real world (work, kids, family, dinner, etc). Perhaps you really should thank them.

I think they've just completely stopped banning unless it's something obvious like clipper (and even then I think most people get away with it).

Just go to Nashmau and look at all the AFK fishbots (most of which aren't even RMT).

For what it's worth, this happened the exact same update that made it so you could make Holy Waters with Trituration. So yeah. That didn't happen without reason.

Same thing with Salvage duping. That existed for a very long time and Square Enix did nothing. People had assumed it was an okay thing to do since many had reported it to Square Enix as a glitch only to have nothing done about it. Then one day, bam, ban hammer to everyone who partook in it. -shrug-

Who knows, we could either be looking at a ban hammer for Chocobo Blinkers, or a serious nerf in the future.

I like the idea of having a cruor-to-gil converter NPC in Jeuno. Whether or not Square Enix will actually do it is an entirely different story.

Only the Salvage dupe was not that well known. I didn't even know about it until I got dragged into it once. I wouldn't be surprised if SE never heard of it before the ban.

Also, the Salvage dupe was exploiting a game bug. This is not. They entered the price that way. They may not have noticed all the ramifications, but it's not a bug. People are exploiting a known game mechanic instead of game vulnerability, that's all it is.

Exactly. SE does occasionally add ways of easy gil.

Haks, Blinkers etc....
