Cross DC begging is out of control

As title says. It's absurd. I'm on aether and most beggars are from primal.

Usually one targets high end items to resell. Another cash shop items. You call them out on it and they disappear pretty quick but return.

Bad enough got aether people begging for stuff. Today it's someone wanting gil to put a bid on a large. Like offering no work in return..just "donate to me".

This stuff really is out of hand these days.

Considering im on primal i don't see any beggars. And what's wrong with selling low and reselling high on the market board it's called item flipping and making profits. I don't know why people generalize an entire datacenter and also think reselling items for a profit is begging. I also haven't seen people begging for mogstation items on any datacenter.

What do you mean by cash shop items? Those aren't tradable, unless someone is asking for gil in exchange for cash shop items. That's a bannable offense, report them and move on.

Just put them on your blacklist.

If others want to donate to those players, that's their decision.

The more popular items like mounts can no longer be gifted due to scamming.

Oh you poor souls haven't seen PF threads like on Crystal. Other people from DCs used to beg for mounts, outfits, ect on PF usually going something like "uwu please gift this lonely kitty the expensive mogstation outfit, will give you kisses" or something along that line lol. Now it's "baby aura looking for a sugar daddy" unironically. It was a little more common when DC travel just opened up

I've seen those types of listings on all the NA data centers. Not sure why people want to claim it only happens on Crystal.

Lol, yep, that's pretty much the best solution right there. No one is obligated to donate gil to someone.

I'm from Crystal, I look at Crystal PFs lol. Never claimed that it didn't happen elsewhere, but you have someone above you that claims that they've never seen it on Primal lol.
