Gil Buyers!?!?!?

[scarebearz]

When the game opened there were some people smart enough to buy cheap items from the npc's, such are orange juice, chestnuts and lentils, chicken eggs etc and sell them for a huge mark-up to questers who did not know these were items from an NPC.

They used this gil to pay for mats etc to level their crafts to 50 using mostly leve's and then reaped in the easy gil by selling the first higher level/HQ crafted items at huge mark-ups.

Calling them cheats because they used their heads and you did not is ridiculous.

For the record I was not one of these smart people, but I did get my GSM to 50 as soon as I could (Miner at 42, my BLM at 39) and the gil from market sales early on was very good.

Most who craft in order to make gil, did so because later on it would help their main class (BLM for me), I think you'll find most gil buyers don't craft, because guess what? They don't *need* to.

n has used this bought gil for getting gear n so on to progress himself.

Exactly, they not not likely to waste their time crafting, but usually want to get right into "end game" stuff.
