Converting cruor to gil

[Frankbrodie]

Be funny if/when they do actually nerf the blinker NPC price they announce it a few days before the update in question. Rather than just ninja-ing it in with the notes.

Just for the sight of us all hammering at those choco NPC's for our blinkers for hours on end to get the gil in the bank before the update.

I've not done it in months anyway. Due to finding other ways to make gil for a while.
But if they introduced the direct trade NPC for cruor > gil, and even vice-versa would make sense if they do, then I would probably worm burn myself to a standstill.

I'd be suprised, Cruor > Gil is nothing compared to say Fishing, and they keep giving fishermen ways to make money Hi! 500~1 million fish.

itt:
there is a easy way to make gils but it need a lot of walking and i'm too lazy to do it.
please make it even easier an lazier.

Chocobo blinkers are not an exploit, but expect it to get nerfed sooner or later. Especially when people are asking for replacement copies of "How to dupe"... (if you get the hint)

Anecdotal as it may be, I do this every so often and only once have I ever seen anyone doing the same thing at the same time. I play EST prime time and afternoon/evening on the weekends so maybe I'm just missing the swarms of players and RMTs constantly cashing out their cruor for this to even be considered some sort of issue.

I have probably bought blinkers once, for the actual quest, so this wouldn't really affect me in any way. Main reason being that I am really low on Cruor, as I don't do regular Abyssea 'partying' or 'cleaving' or whatevers...

While I do understand the frustration it may cause (it would take tons of effort for me to make inventory space for them, because I'm horrible by having all my storages stuffed), but I don't think it needs to be made any easier, really. What it could make is more sense, as in, like you say, help Jeuno with it for example but it doesn't need to be “just talk to someone and get your Gil”.

Getting the blinkers without using them for the quests and selling them elsewhere does not sense make.

In short: while I have not 'sploited' this myself, I don't care if it stays as easy as it is, but I do agree that if they indeed want something like this to be in the game, at least sense make it bubbles...


Edit:

Also, I think there was a similar thread around wherein they said they have no plans to make it easier, or to make it possible to change one 'currency' into another? Perhaps I'll look for it later.

TC you realize that they will eventually nerf chocobo blinkers price to npc right?

Or, they may not now the Balance master is gone.

Until they figure out what the rmt cleave bots are doing with all their cruor that is. At that point it doesn't matter if most of the people doing it are honest players or not.

They earn a lot more by the fact they themselves lead, sell, and cleave the parties. They'll stop AoE killing first.
