So I've been noticing a large number of people on PF selling the new mogstation dyes and promise bracelets for exorbitant amounts of gil. I understand that the trading of these items has been apparently given approval by GM - but how exactly is this different from RMT? If I buy a mogstation item for $20 and sell it in-game for 6M gil, aren't I just effectively buying $20 of gil? Is this okay because now SE is profiting rather than a 3rd party? I'm personally very disappointed that this has not been determined as against the ToS and feel that SE really might as well just be selling gil on the mogstation. Feel free to weigh in - I understand that the counter argument is "but the GM said I could" but I can't be the only person who thinks this is pretty disgusting and I hope this gets some serious attention from admin.

It IS disgusting and the fact that people are so passive to allow it 'since its been going on for awhile with other games, it is normal and acceptable.' Just cause something is going on for awhile doesn't make it right.

12-11-2014, 12:44 PMEthysThanks for the links, but as Bayohne is saying, if it keeps coming up in topics and people keep doing this then they'll have to fix it; so although another thread might seem redundant I hope this nonsense gets as much exposure as it possibly can.Quote:

This is much more fun than anything else that's going on in my bland life and I'm having myself a mighty giggle at work right now.
If anyone has a serious offer for the bracelet/s, let me know either in game or through the forum (do we have a private message system?) and we'll work something out.
I have a thread dedicated to this endeavour on this very subforum and I hope someone will make an offer.

12-11-2014, 12:58 PMEthysThank you for typifying the pathetic attitude of those exploiting officially endorsed RMT.Quote:

they are not breaking anything here. -
12-11-2014, 01:49 PMEthysThey are breaking the experience of a lot of players who don't want to feel obligated to resort to RMT in order to keep up on any field of progression.Quote:

Hey book mage! Despite my copious amounts of PFs, I'm actually a very reserved person. Marriage has an intrinsic meaning to it and should I accept a soul mate through a mere PF, it is akin to spitting at the foundation upon which marriage was built by our ancestors millenia ago. After learning the truth about the real world that is Eorzea, I've come to the conclusion that it would be very selfish to force myself on to someone. It's just as the saying goes; I cannot be married to a woman because I am married to women. Look not for a petal, but for the pollen. Henceforth, I am proud to declare my altruism to know no bounds.
You may propose. -

SE might decide to make it Untradeable.
And for players that wanna send 1 to their partners, they have to do it via the Mog Station instead.
Doesn't prevent selling of the bracelets for gil entirely, but will definitely decrease the amount. -

FFXIV 1.0 was a disaster, developers focus on the success of the game.
Now that ARR is a success, greed takes over.
They are now milking the game.... -
