Legacy promotes gil sellers

derp nvm...........

i really dont think so.....

Doesn't it benefit gil farmers more in XIV to have more characters on concurrently than to have more character slots to switch to one at a time though?

I guess it works out for them as far as harvesting is concerned, but that is also a benefit for legitimate players too so seems like a wash.

If anything it doesn't work well for gilsellers considering they have accounts banned rather frequently voiding the real usefullness of Legacy.

Once they get banned they lose legacy status anyways. That is if the special task force ever activates.

It still wouldn't benefit them, they can only sign into one character at a time. Also if one of their characters gets banned I'm going to assume that their entire account will get banned.

Can you people stop finding things to troll about? Now you are against legacy status. You got to be kidding???

People are questioning but also being cautious on the matter. I would be that way too, but this thread did make a valid point. Though I can agree that you can't exploit the 8 character Legacy status as you can have only one of those 8 active at a time.

Btw, I also have a friend in real life with your character's name lol And I've seen you before on Excalibur. You have awesome armor, dude! :)

No, because "gil seller" use mainly the Free-Month, then create a new Account. They are not even able to get Legacy. Just check several Names from those "RMT Trains" and you will realize that you will rarely see one which is older than 4 weeks.

I won't be concerned. Squenix has planned this campaign thoughtfully so that by the time it was announced, they had investigated many accounts before banning them. I would've too, by the time gil-farmers have time to start another character or account, it would be too late for them to qualify to be a legacy player. (hence the reason SE didn't do anything about botting and RMT at the beginning)

Players need to let the company do it's job and not panic. They have the public interest as well as their corporate interest.

I could understand if this was a legitimate concern. I have another character other then this one. I have to log out of one to play the other. Being that I'm leveling crafts and gathering the extra inventory is needed. It become tedious logging in and out just to transfer items between them. Can't really use them to hoard gil.

Oh, and my character name is my real life name. And thanks for the compliment. Think we was in an Ifrit party together at one time. See you around.

I have a friend named Chris Davis too.

where does it say you get 8 while paying for one? it says "max buyable characters 8" on legacy, 1 on entry and 8 on standard. But i cant find the 8 for 1 anywhere?

That's really stretching.

Im sure it promotes it and there buying into it. Im sure SE will band there accounts at 2.0 so they can start charging more money on rmts again.

you know you dont even need legacy for that right? legacy just makes that package cheaper

Then when their legacy account gets banned, how do you propose they get another one?

Besides the fact that you can only log on to one character on an account at a time, which means multiple characters doesn't help with anything other than storage. You can't produce gil any faster than you could otherwise.

No offense, but as much as it may pain you to realize... RMT are people too. Paying customers even. Why shouldn't they be entitled to legacy status?

Read it a little closer, it says "Max Playable characters". If you have the Legacy flag on your account, you pay 9.99 a month for what non-legacy players can pay 14.99/mo for in terms of characters per server. You're actually paying less than people who only pay for 1 character slot per server, if you have Legacy.

There is no more paying per extra character slot. It's a flat fee, with 2 options to choose from, and a special rate for Legacy members.

you keep buying gill that promotes gill sellser. and alot of people are or they wouldnt be selling it.

SE would start ban them and they wont be many legacy RMT left in few month if they really do there job.

You know what promotes gilsellers? Gilbuyers.

Stop buying gil you f***ing losers.

There is no valid point from this thread if you actually read the comments.

He made a stupid statement with nothing to back it up.

Gil buyers promote gil sellers, but not anything else.

You get 40 characters total, maximum 8 on one server.

SE certainly doesn't discourage gil sellers, or bots... But as others have said, it's ultimately the buyers that create the demand for them.

This is pointless..... you can have 8 characters on a standard 14.99 sub too. legacy just costs less.

Legacy will be the downfall of this game.

This! most definately this!.. and as someone else said, yes I was extremely bored and did not think this through right lol. Didn't know the exact mechanics of using the 8 char.. which then makes me wonder.. why the hell do people even want more then 1 then o.0

The only way I can see how RMT can abuse the Legacy status is to sell the account itself.

Why more than 1? Exclusive City storyline. Exclusive GC storyline. Maybe a few other things.

Hmm, 3 cities, 3 GCs, granted, you only need 3 characters to experience all 3 cities and GCs... then people who want mules with mules... I dunno, personally I only have 2 because occasionally I wanna take a break from being normal height as a Lalafell, and play a freak-tall race like Miqo'te :3

I think the bigger question with having multiple characters is why not?

Buying gil= Earn your own f***ing gil you lazy asses!

I can't even see why this is coming up. God I hope the people that make decisions don't read this stupid shit. We don't need anymore fucking nerfing going on. Let the legacy status stay the way it is. I for one am looking forward to the difference this will be from other MMO's in the fact I don't have to pay for another character slot and can have so many. FFXI was retarded with its 1 per sub fee. Alot of times I found it hard to pay for main character and subs but now I won't have a problem. 10 is the right price , right now. Let this thread die please. Honest it really seems like were all back in grammer school and you see a kid with a fruity eraser. You know the teacher don't allow them so you ask, "Can we have a fruity eraser?" and get the teacher looking around to see if anyone has one. What harm was the fucking eraser in the first place? But you have to ask the question and stir the shit pot. If it doesn't cause real actual harm to a fucking thing then let it be.

i have a second char that i use for a storage mule since i have every class capped and working to upgrade gear for all of them. figure i have 2 retainers that hold materials, 1 that holds the materia i have atm, and another holds gear that i have been able to double/triple when going for quad melds. those take up a ton of room as going by percentages i should have around 20 triple melds on one piece of gear before i get 1 quad out of it.
