That being said, are we really sure that that "yeah" in the RMT's reply is regarding the bowl of rice? He could be agreeing with the "Not enough if you have to play the game 24-7.". Screenshot doesn't have time stamp, so it's hard to say in how the conversation actually went.

The response time from "Not enough if you have to play the game 24/7" and "bowl of rice," I don't know what the response of the RMT's "yea" was to. It was iffy, but Yyyyy responded right after the bowl of rice comment. Who knows. It was so funny.

oops my bad i shoulda said continent thanks for pointing out my error i gave you a thumbs up

This makes me want to open mouth kiss a certain lucky member of the development team.

Thank you.


It's is nice to read something positive once in a while.

BUT

I keep seeing BOTs everywhere I go, and I can never get my retainer into uldah. Can't SE do a bit more?

For example:

A number of players will put an item in their retainers bazaar, for 99,999,999 or some other large amount that no one will spend on the item in question. They do this, so that their retainer isn't kicked out of the MW. Now, I may be wrong, but to me that sounds like an exploit. If it is an exploit, can't they do a quick SQL search or something of the retainers, and just kick all the bad ones out of the MW?

Are the servers back up, maybe I can get my retainer in uldah now.

Um NO I usually go by a different toon name. Jaimie is usually a name I use for one of my alts. And by alts I mean extra storage, low lvl mob farming, group benefits (ie. in some games, some spells only work if you are in a party).

Do we have to move on, there is so much more I could say. Maybe next time. (as if lvl 50s are gonna hang around cedarwood, when they could be off killing Ifrit or something more appropriate to their level)

Oops my bad, servers are still down, and I'm bored.

If I remember right, your retainers have a 168-hour lifespan in the wards that resets every time you interact with them. An item in bazaar isn't necessary.

All the 99M items are:

- glamor gear for retainers (coliseum set only exacerbated this problem)
- extra storage (items in bazaar don't count against inventory space)
- pride and showing off (5x melds usually)

The Elementals are gone! I can't find them.

lol I don't need to put stuff up for that much, I've had a pair of Spiked Armguards on a retainer for *Four Months* at 100k (the price I bought them at) how do you think SE would be able to tell a good from a 'bad' retainer?... its gotten to the point where I don't care I'm to damn lazy to take em off and change selling price or npc em, so... yeah... I don't think my retainer is going anywhere until 2.0

I was shopping for a new weapon for my 19 conjurer earlier today. I saw a R17 cane for 1,000,000. IMHO, I think a certain group of people are exploiting the system.

Oops almost forgot.

If people really want to show off theirr UBER items, find another method. These retainers with only 1 item up for sale may be preventing other players form hanving a retainer in the wards.

OK, let me try to re-phrase it.

Uldah is kinda like a mall. People like to hang out there. Some people actually like to shop there.

Some people are unable to place a retainer in any of the Uldah market wards, due to the fact that all of the wards are filled to capacity.

One POSSIBLE reason all of these wards are filled to capacity, is because every BOT has 2 retainers, and those retainers are in Uldah selling at least 1 item for 999,999,999.

I'm pretty sure (I could be wrong), that there is no item in game worth 999,999,999 gil.

I vote we kick every retainer with an item costing 999,999,999 out of the wards.

I agree, this is my biggest pet peeve around the retainer system

Hopefully anywhere RMTs call home. If I were an elemental, I'd be pretty pissed at them too.

This just in! High level Cactuars found being "Mildly Irate" and "Loitering" around Camp Black Brush!

Well, you have it on your picture where the levels aren't visible to the monsters, so I can't tell how high they are.

I got some bad news about the elementals now. It seems that the RMTs have one bot character lead the elementals away so that the monsters don't aggro them near the Node or where they do their Levequesting. Right now I've seen the elementals all avoid the area. I wish the developmental team could "refresh" the elemental's layout so the elementals can swarm the Node again.

Sorry, guess it was a little low-res. They're high 60s-low 70s Think the range I saw was 68-74

Oh, in the in-game configuration, you can have the levels listed of the enemy monsters/NPCs. I saw that you do have the aggression labled, so those Cactuars are passive unlike the elementals, which is a good thing.

Huh, maybe it's the Ghost of Tanaka coming back with the "RMTPWNER 2.0" XD

Die all you keyboard smash RMT... DIE!

This past weekend (and if you go to some earlier pages), my LS friend and I were sitting outside of Cedarwood with another guy and we were making fun of the RMTs. We got one to respond back to us in Engrish, and he/she was pissed lol And yes, a lot of them are Chinese.

BLACK SHROUD BE ANGRY
This is what you get for wanting Gridania to burn for the last 2 years.

I still want it to burn, besides, I'm in another game anyways so I dont care. They can rampage all they want. lol

I wouldn't blame them for getting pissed honestly, I've met way worse players that are bigger douchebags than RMT who rarely even leave mid level guildleve areas lol.

Back on page 6 of this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ENRAGED!/page6

Yes, it was fun. It's a shame that the Elementals aren't back at Cedarwood. I'd give the devs a beer if they did it again. It was so funny watching the RMTs get slaughtered.
