RMT are back!

[Runespider]

So been seeing a lot of RMT building back up lately, maybe because they see how the game is going back to old ways or because FFXIV failed so hard. Regardless there are mass numbers of them leveling up via GoV and aby now, wondering how Square will overeact this time.

I can see the current ways of making gil being nerfed pretty hard soon, dyna farming/choco blinker nerfs inc!

RMT are gonna FC 24/7, using up all good FC spots.

They probably will, people pay 100k an hour for it and RMT just have to undercut normal FC players to get them all.

They are definately making a comeback though, and there has never been a better time for them to try. STFU seems pretty much out of commision, very very easy ways to make gil if you do it 24/7, a playerbase ok with buying pretty much anything...from xp/armors/seals etc.

Not sure people will care as much this time since the it's nowhere near the same game or morals behind playing that there used to be. Only reason I care myself is cause I fear the idiocy of STFU on normal players (gardening bans anyone?).

When every player is privy to the easier than ever gil making methods and almost all valuable gear is Rare/Ex and attainable via small man or shout groups what's the point of buying gil?

Voidwatch is making it so that Cruor is getting eaten up, and if you don't have cruor you can pour gil into it too.

Not to mention the craftables from VW are anywhere from 2~30mil on asura. Let alone the prices of actual useful RA gear from VW.

I can see why RMT might have a market

While some aspects of the cruor system might be susceptible to RMT, do you seriously think RMT will start doing VW in large groups, and coordinate enough to proc and kill what are currently the toughest mobs in the game when even shout groups have issues doing such? As I said in another thread, if they can even last more than 2 minutes in a VW fight, heck, they deserve to RMT the spoils :P

I almost always make a net profit in Cruor from Voidwatch considering I don't use cells on fights that don't drop anything I want =/.

A full proc'd T4 Part 1 NM drops 15,500 Cruor, while costing 18,000 cruor for 6 cells. At most you're losing 2,500 cruor/fight if you use 3Red/3Blue on every single fight.

If you skip up to T3 part 2 NMs, you're making 16,600 Cruor/fight while spending the same 18,000, a loss of 1,400 Cruor/fight assuming you use 6 cells every single time.

It takes 143 Pils in a row with maxed Cells to equate to the Cruor consumption of a single Primeval brew =/.

Cruor for Atmacites is a one-time purchase as well, which comes to a negligible cost over time. 500,000 Cruor? That's maybe an hour of two of cruor farming if I didn't already have a billion extra Cruor from farming Empyrean weapons and crap anyways.

900,000 cruor for lv10 coercion.

that's 2,340,000 gil

Not everyone has tons of cruor. I personally don't enter Abyssea anymore, and had used all my cruor up previously on helping people get things.

Well as easy as gil is most still seem to have very little. Given the last update and the silly prices of new gear/spells I'd say quite a lot might be tempted to buy gil again, something sure did spark the rmt up again anyway.

They never went anywhere.
