The Flame Geode Thread...... Again.

[Sp1cyryan]

Problem is someone in the world needs to get items in order for them to be sold. If I have 10 billion gil it matters nothing when no one is farming Flame Geodes and no one is doing VW for plates. In other words, someone has to farm them, even if I have the money, so why is it the farming cant be done in a reasonable manner so that I can actually spend my money on them?

Why must you people clutch to poor comparisons.

Flame geodes are not Alexandrite.

Flame geodes are not Heavy Metal Plates.

Fire weather is a pain in the ass to see compared to all the other weathers.

I really fail to see how people can't figure this out and need to try and justify that the geodes drop nowhere near equally.

Because its the same idea. No matter how much money you have or how much you are willing to spend its not farmable and not a large supply. Alot of people want fire weapons, alot of people want them for many weapons. They are massively harder to get than any other kind of geode, much more rare. If you could farm them same as any other, I don't think people would complain because it would be a matter of choosing to buy or farm. Instead they are such a pain to farm and so rare that you are better off buying what you can, but supply isn't always there because alot of people want them just like you.

Take the plates out of my comment and you get

Want to tell me whats wrong about it? Nothing, its true, someone has to supply items for you to buy them, no matter what they are. People don't often farm their own geodes for fire weapons because thats how much of a pain they are, but they are a pain to get by anyone so no matter if I have 10gil, or 10 billion gil, I can still be left complaining.

I'm not saying they are the same thing, I am saying they are similar, people can complain that items are high priced, some you can farm, you have no reason to complain, however these you have the perfect reason to. They have a short supply for demand, and are a pain to obtain, so you cant farm, and you cant always buy, no matter what you can be left with nothing you can do about it except wait for the nearest Fireday and hope that you see 5 or so drop in your hour of killing random mobs.
