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

[Nawesemo]

Lol, I'm in the fire weather should be more common camp, but i play this game for its meager satisfaction given for completing rediculous tasks, I've done a lot of what's going on here, farmed gil, farmed my own geodes, robbed mules etc, etc to get mine done. This thread started a few weeks ago, ..... Since then I'm sure whoever started it must have finnished, through sheer determination. Yes it sucks, but demanding it change with the Passion some of these posts display, is....out and out refusal to get them done. I'm just guessing it got done...... And now just bitching to bitch..... But its a tragedy for the rest who are just now starting.... It is what it is. Deal with it. And get them done. Pretty simple, treating it like its farming abyssea mobs for empys lol yeah, but Passion dont care about reason.... Deductive reasoning isn't something everyone can do..... Posting on forums of allegid injustuces, anyone can.

Basically, what you're saying is:
It doesn't affect me anymore so I don't care if other people have to go through it.

Well that's good for you, however, some people actually think about other people. Some friends of me are in need of a lot of flame geodes even if I don't have a use for them at this point. I've got enough for the fire weapon when I decide to start making it, but I still don't wish for other players to deal with this.

You skipped the first line me thinks., dood its a team thing I guess, most people who play with me know me as fairly helpful, if these geodes from hell are needed, and I have a few, i kick down what i got, their drop rate is the same as others, weather less common, but do drop just like the rest, its a supply vs. Demand issue... If s.e. doubled the drop on them they would still be the most expensive on the a.h. take out the synth to fire gems, they stillllllll would be, .... It's just a shitty deal. But yeah, fire weather needs to happen more, and people needing em just need to keep on, getting em. It is what it is, and why we play.

But if they could be reliably farmed on your own, you wouldn't have to deal with the AH prices to complete your weapons. You could do it by being out in the field, killing stuff in fire weather, which to me sounds like the exact opposite of laziness.

Currently, the only way to specifically target flame geodes for farming is to schedule your life around when it's firesday in FF11, and when the season with a bit more fire weather is in effect. That's fine for people who are "hard core", cause scheduling your life around a game isn't too unusual for them anyway, but this is not how most average players like to play their games. And the way I see it, these weapons are meant more for these players than the hardcore players. Hardcore players just screw all this geode business and get an empyrelicmythic right away. Except maybe an eva/pdt weapon here and there, but those are a lot cheaper anyway.

Agreed. I guess somewhere along the way wanting to farm things yourself became lazy and buying things from the AH became hard work...

The sad part is it's more efficient to farm gil and buy geodes for ANY weather magian. Idk why people would honestly want to farm the geodes rather than gil -----> buy. Unless you don't know how to make gil.

[Komori]

Because if everyone was an idiot and only used their money for things, there would be nothing to buy. Someone has to farm those same geodes you buy.

[Demon6324236]

I keep saying that but I don't think its sinking in, that or Fupa is just trolling to troll which seems to be the more likely of the 2.

Why should it stay like that, though? Why does Trial of the magians have to be Trials of the gillians?

Also, what if someone knows how to make gil, but lacks the gear to do it efficiently? Perhaps they would get something like oh I don't know a fire trial weapon to make it easier to actually make lots of money? Everything is easy when you already have money to invest with. You gotta spend money to make money, this is true, but it's hard to spend money to make money when you don't have any money to spend.
