Stop Buying Titan Kills

[Nash]

I'm posting this because I keep seeing more and more crafters on my server offering to meld materia for people at a cost. Infact, one of them is selling their melds for 10k a meld where the people who are getting materia melded are more often than not even crafters; they are battle classes 50% of the time.

These crafters aren't helping you. You aren't learning to meld. You're just going to need them again the next time you need to meld materia for your next relic because you didn't learn how to craft. Even that aside, it's downright saddening to see players resorting to having to "buy" their melds and even more upsetting to see our player base SELLING these melds. What happened to just wanting to play the game?

My FC is currently on the lookout for a second blacksmith before we start crafting relics and currently we help groups meld their weapons. We've been joining pugs and helping them and "giving away" melds to people who ask. However, in our group (it's 3-4 of us) we don't "carry" you, you are still required to craft your weapon and pull your weight but we will also teach you how to meld so the next time you need a meld you won't need us and you certainly won't need to buy it from someone else.

Nothing wrong with purchasing Titan kills.

If you don't have an FC, the chances of you getting a Titan kill are next to 0% regardless of how good you are.

This, exactly. You can either spend a week spamming Titan PUGs or spend a day farming 500k and buy the opportunity to play with a group of capable characters. Which is a better use of your time? Would you honestly waste a week throwing yourself at the same fight over and over just to say you were lucky enough to find 7 other people who could scrape through the fight by the skin of their teeth? That doesn't sound like fun.

My fc sells titan and i would say around 75% of customers know the fight and dodge everything or at least dodge enough that they "deserve" a win. People who don't get landslided or hit by two weights or two bombs would be able to clear titan legit. If their healers or other dps didn't suck.

I love how there is an elitist PLD saying that those who buy the run dont deserve relic. Well this fight is a joke for a tank. So easy even day 1 tanks can do this fight. You just stand in a spot can even be semi afk not even look at the screen while you do your threat rotation over and over whereas everyone else does all the work, has to dps enough to destroy heart, needing to break rock prisons, dodge instant death , heal aoe and tank damage and actully suffer from the mechanics.

I make anywhere from 30-600k PER craft. My time is valuable and having all crafts leveled i constantly get bothered for melds. Im not gonna do a meld for free when in that same time i could've made gil. If you don't like what we charge for our time, then go level the crafting jobs yourself.

"What happened to just wanting to play the game?"

Douche-bag elitists yelling at folks for it being their first time, people rage-quitting after a loss, overall crappiness of the DF team you get.

Not condoning any of the above at all, but this all leads to the answer to the question, and it is all truth.

And I have no qualms against this. Being in an FC that sells these runs and can easily get me through them. =)

It is so funny how this ridiculous people trying to defend their Titan Boughts and Sells. Fact is that you are bad players who cant manage to find people and kill a hard boss on your own, you are to lazy to become better in your gameplay skills and you are to lazy to teach other players if you have good skills. Fact is that people who sell their Kills are greedy selfish people who dont want to help bad players, they just want to enrich themselves on bad players and by that they ruin the big thought of every game >>> A challenge you have to beat! A challenge from where you can learn and grow. Thats the ground of every THing that can be called Game,SPort, Conflict, etc.

You are all no real gamers, just a bunch of selfish and skillless guys. And it makes people like me sick if you try to defend your bad Attitutes. Btw this is not the first game OFC where things like this happen, maybe some people know how awful such things can become in the late.

Ps: Sirry for bad englando, ima no natiFF england.

I think selling titan kills is great.

It really stimulates the gold farming market. Think about it. People with relics but in AF gear really had the time or motivation to grind 500k gil? If they had that kind of time and motivation, they would have darklight or HQ crafter materia binded gear at least. So where is this gil coming from?

Thank you for supporting gold farmers. They have families to feed too.

I dont see any problem with people buying titan runs or selling them. The people selling them are offering a service and getting paid for it. Its called capitalism. It doesn't affect me or my gaming experience in any way. Honestly I am jealous that my FC doesn't sell them. I would love to get in on the gil making opportunity.

I guess I will have to wait for awhile until we can start selling coil clears :-)
