Craft Skill Limitations

[Sircurtis]

and the reason we see fewer and fewer RMT companies up to sending out tells is simple. They're mostly elsewhere now.

Thats funny. Your even saying that they are STILL everywhere.....

So what has been done bout the RMT situation? Nothing... They just wasted our money "trying" to fight something that is unwinable. Thanks for your help clearing that up.

And yet again tonight I spent anouther 4 hours and not one skill up... I called a GM and they didnt reply, I contacted Support and this is the response:

Thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX support,

SQUARE ENIX is unable to provide game hints, tips or strategy. We recommend that you seek assistance from the manuals, strategy guides (BRADYGAMES - www.bradygames.com), other players and the various Community Sites. An excellent site we can recommend is na.square-enix.com. A suggestion I would give you would be to go on the related forums there and inquire directly to other players what exactly your issue is and perhaps they experienced similar problems.


Did this help me? Not a bit. I'm not asking for game secrets here. I'm saying to fix my fishing so I can enjoy a game that I am PAYING TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I pissed? I Sure Am!!!!!!!!

I'm so pissed I am ready to find a lawyer and sue them. Why? Becuase I am being promised that I can fish and gain levels and right now I am being prohibbited from doing both. And to top it off I am paying my good hard earned money for it. All in the name of RMT actions. Is this really fair to me as a LOYAL PLAYER?

I mean really come on now..............

I've been here since the first NA week of release. Believe me, they're not "everywhere".

Everywhere was when you saw botted RMT doing mining circuits in Gusgen. Fishbotting desynthesis items in Yughott, literally lining every available surface for whatever was the most valuable fishbotting pre-Gobbie Bounty Hunters. Monopolizing spawns. Massive manipulation of the AH economy. We're nowhere near those levels of RMT influence today, and it's only because of the unceasing efforts of S-E.

See above. I've been a part of the game economy for nearly a decade. You can't "kill" RMT short of literally being able to go to the source and physically putting a sledgehammer through their computers- people will constantly attempt to manipulate the game for real profit, and the only thing you can do is treat the attacks on said system to minimize their effects. That applies to every game. FFXI. WoW, and nearly every MMO on the market.

So...you're complaining about skillups? How about you give me the numbers? What are you fishing? What's your current skill level? How many of your actual pulls were fish that could skill you up before fatigue sets in?

Any lawyer would look at you, by the way- and laugh their ass all the way out the door as they politely escorted you out of the office. You aren't promised anything of the sort, nor that an activity be as easy as you want it to be. What you ARE being is absurd.

I mean really come on now..............

Precisely. You're over the top and you want your own special playground where you can be the best without doing it at the same pace everyone else is.

From years and years of hearing stuff like this- odds are, the problem is you. That being said, said problems are usually easier to correct than you might think, and the solution is not howling about the unfairness of the game for denying you skillups. It's finding out why your skillup rate is so abominable, talking with other players with -details-, and getting over the wall.

Now, let's get started. Your current skill, where you're fishing and for what, what rod, what bait. I can guarantee you, you can do better with help. That's what you need to give in order to get it.
