Yay, next up RMT flood Dynamis and price fixing begins on currency, oh joy!

Next update:

That's not even nearly as easy/fast to efficiently do as 16 lv30 naked mules, though. Each character would need to have all limit breaks done, "some" gear, do missions for access. While this is easy to do, it's not done in the 1-2 hours it takes to recreate 16 recently banned cruor-cows.

You probably have to pay at least a bit of attention to each of the characters you want to use in there too, so you can't just leave 16 characters in 320x240 windows and minimize them while doing everything in a different client instance.

You forgot the "rare" tag!

but how would we make 100coins?

They nerfed cruor bought items, so they may as well make dnyamis currency untradable/unbazaarable while they're at it.

While it might take time to get a bunch of mules up that high, this will mean a mass flood of RMTs in dynamis, which will make it nigh impossible for us real players to get the currency we need without paying an arm and a leg for it.

Direct drops only.

I'm just loling right now about the chocobo blinker nerf. Really, SE? This screws a lot of people over for no good reason (inb4 RMT).

Ok, cruor is going to be used almost exclusively to upgrade Atmacites, oh wait Voidwatch is almost entirely a waste of money now because we have to completely rely on shitty drop rates to get money/break even.

Way to go Square-Enix.

[Liriel]

Blame the RMTs. They're the ones that screw everyone over. SE is just responding to what they're doing.

[Monchat]

I'm deceived they didnt do this 2 years ago when players explicitly pointed out the high rate of resale of abbysea items. Deceived that fishing in Beaucedine wasn't nerfed either, although this is not as bad as cruor.

[Etrigan]

There is a much easier solution... Ban all IPs that tie back to china, this will cause the RMTs to have to use a VPN to connect through another country, which will do two things.

1.) Give them more Lag
2.) Cost Them More Money

#2 Drives down their profit margin, hopefully enough to make selling ffxi gil unprofitable

Problem Solved
