Please reconsider SPARK and unity limitation

Actually the best way to combat RMT, is to punish those who enable them in the first place, No buyer, No seller, problem solved.



So, if you're not going to do that, then you need to find alternate ways to hinder their money making potential, and here we are with Spark's and Unity.

Punish both in fact, punishing only one side will not solve the problem.
No buyer no seller is true
No seller no buyer is also true

It is not punishing people at all. Being able to make millions of gil in ten minutes by trading npc items and people abusing it should have never really been a thing.
Now people will have to do it in the traditional means, and actually work for it, god forbid.

People had to work to farm the sparks in the first place, hours of effort.

If your complaint is about bots, those same bots can farm dynamis or whatever else.

During Gain EXP it took 10 minutes to cap unity and sparks. x 6 for multi-boxers, then chuck in the use of scripting as clearly used by some, and even more sinister tricks
and you are talking about millions upon millions of gil in no time.

It took 10 mins for RMT to cap sparks where?

There's a big difference between farming things to sell vs literally printing gil.

To the thread topic: We don't know what the cap is yet so lets not get too far ahead of ourselves.

If the cap for turn-ins is 99k spark or 198K, I don't think it'll affect the average player very much. We'll have to wait and see

How do we go about working for it? Cause selling currencies is not creating gil.

Look at whats moving in the markets, and go from there. There are loads of different ways of making gil in FFXI via legit means.
