GIL Sellers Are on The Rise

[Krystal_Storm]

It is no wonder gil sellers are flourishing i am half tempted to buy from them myself had i not a shred of common sense. Everything i actually need costs an arm and a leg i am all but broke due to greedy market transactions, repair costs, bulk uncommon crafting materials etc and then they come along offering 500,000gil for 8 US dollars. Had that been SE that came along and made me that offer i would have taken it in a heartbeat several times over.

And some people honestly do not understand why the gil sellers are flourishing. -.- The greedy community, poor quest gil returns and the cost of progression play a huge part in why these gil sellers flourish and yet these very people are sometimes the ones complaining.

Quite often it's the gilsellers setting the prices, since they're the ones farming the stuff. Everyone else just follows suit.

In Final fantasy XI, they were known for buying out items on auction and putting them back up at crazy prizes.

You also thinks Jews control all the banks too or something? What you are saying is no different.

By crazy you mean reasonable, right? It was RMT that actually sold items at reasonable prices on many servers after awhile whereas it was legit players who were making it their mission to rip you off - Any new crafted item comes out? Players sell it for 700% profit basically (Costs 20k to make, selling for 2-7 million initially) - RMT sells it for reasonable prices (20k to make, selling for 8-40k). Quite honestly I would immediately buy from an RMT before I buy from someone trying to make 700% profit. RMT ruins economies, but not as badly as players are, especially if you take a look at the market board on any legacy server, you'll see we don't need RMT to "ruin" anything.

Totally agree with that.

And yet when the RMT were finally eradicated in XI, the economy returned to normal.

If people didn't buy gil, they wouldn't be able to afford the 700% mark up and the prices would eventually come down. It's supply and demand.
