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.

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

Next update:

You forgot the "rare" tag!

but how would we make 100coins?

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.

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.

[Liriel]

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

but how would we make 100coins?

Direct drops only.

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.

This game was always designed to be a grindfest. You must not have been around back near release. It took months of hard work just to get anywhere in level and even longer to get good gear. Abyssea has really done nothing but make everything so easy that you can go in blindfolded and never even learn what your job is even about. I'm glad they did this. Means people might actually venture out away from abyssea to earn gil and learn how to play.

I'm ending the argument here, because any real player knows that this is a change that should have happened years ago, or never have been started in the beginning. SE isn't depriving players of gil. There's many other ways to earn it. Sure it might take longer, but hey, that's what this game has always been about, slow steady progress so that you know what you're doing, and in most cases, learn how to act as part of a party and actually interact with other people. You wanna solo/low man farm something? Go play a console game by yourself or with a few friends.

I wish the player base I actually play in was the same one in your dreams.
