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

[Sp1cyryan]

just keep saying that to yourself, it's not going to get you flame geodes any faster (or gil)

I see where you get your name from. Perhaps you lost your legs and now have a prosthetic hence Plasticleg. Now I can see where your unhappiness clouds your judgement. Perhaps the leg was a war injury and you now feel bitter causing you to think others are just lazy if they don't want to work as hard as you believe you once did. Thus you arrogantly go around accusing others who have a problem with the current availability of an item lazy.

Anyway, the main topic on the forums nowadays goes back to the term balance. It really does not matter how high or low the demand for the item is. It is simply that the flame geodes availability is unbalanced due to fire weather being the rarest weather in the game. That is it, and we do not need a huge thread going back and forth about it with SE putting their hands back going "don't look at me bro".

Finally, just to respond to Demnon's post to me. Apparently you just see it differently, but here is how we get to the bottom line of geodes not being alexandrite or heavy metal.
It is pretty simple too, and it goes like this. Fifty five, thirty thousand, and one thousand five hundred.

You really want to tell me that you can relate the two to a geode on the premise of popularity and lack of access? If you think the demand for a geode is anywhere near that of a metal or alex then I just do not know what to tell you because that is flat out wrong. The method for getting all three is different too so to throw them all in the same boat with the nonsensical title of "not farmable" is just odd.
What does "not farmable" even mean? The items all have to be gathered from what they drop from in game. The only items "not farmable" are the ones you can not obtain.

The high price for Alex and Metal comes from their widespread demand for trials that are intended to be harder to complete and stronger than what a flame geode is used for. Flame geodes too are not even at the price of a few Alex or a Metal because of the trial.

You honestly might as well just say the three are all items in FFXI and therefore are similar.
