Converting cruor to gil

[Demon6324236]

It is a potential money drain as anyone wanting to spam the boss has to pay 6mil per person to run the fight again right after, which will drain money quite nice if people do it, and the only choice is wait 5 days per KI, or pay roughly 1.1~1.2Mil gil for each one you want to simply skip & buy.

Potential cost of 1 million is not a true gil sink. I'm talking about Limbus, old Dynamis those are/were gil sinks, you know like legion requires gil to enter.

Oh also anyone who could look at the price tag of 1 million gil and not be worried about it probably isn't doing Burrows for the side-grade gear to the gear they already have. When Luvbunny said "for casuals" she was right burrows is designed for players with a less dedicated/hard core mentality about the game. These are the same people who are more likely to think 1 million gil is a lot of gil to them because "making gil is hard".

I played years ago. I quit just before the moogle expansions came out. Kujata (my homeserver) was nearly dead and it just wasn't fun anymore.

I came back for a short time last year, and returned again this year.

Somehow, cruor improved the game's economy. I think the mega-rich just stopped caring about gil so much. Great AH gear last month is only about the same as great AH gear a few years ago. The difference is that plastrons and osodes and Aristocrat's coats were out of reach of many players' wealth. With cruor, anyone could be rich.

Years ago, many many people who had wealth either leeched it from an ls they ran/helped run, or they stole it, or they bought it. A few got lucky, and several people did earn it honest. There still was a lot of deceit involved.

With cruor, RMT wasn't needed. Valefor, and I'm sure every other server, had that aga leech parties most likely run by rmt and noone minded. It doesn't matter how much gil Aaaoa (Valefor's rmt shoutbot) had, very few people were buying it.

I'm not directly affected by the nerf at all. I hadn't moved off a million cruor in a month prior, and that wasn't where my gil was coming from. It was a nice fallback if I needed gil fast, but I wasn't using it. The only way it's reached me is that I notice more competition.

There were a few ways to nerf RMT that wouldn't have greatly affected players, including just banning these rmt faster. It's interesting that Aaaoa has changed his name 3 or four times in a few months but he still uses the same warrior and same RDM.

If they changed their name 4 times in a few months, doesn't that just mean the characters got banned and remade?

That "whoosh" you just heard was the sound of the point whizzing right over your head. Yes, that is exactly what all those changes of name meant, and he was saying that maybe the STF should try actually banning all the RMT instead of just some of them.
