Stop Buying Titan Kills

[Lucipurr]

after spending like 10ish hours failing on titan hm, decided to just pay for it
i shouted in mordhona that i was willing to pay 200k, in about half an hour i got a tell and the rest is history
funny thing is, i can farm 200k in just 6 runs (phil tomes mats cost average 40k in ultros), so it's super worth the time and effort saved

now that i have relic+1, farming cm/prae will take even less time, so in my view it's a really good return on my investment

Thanks for the tip. I guess I'll just do that..

The problem is these players who can't kill Titan will go on to apply for Coil raiding guilds and nobody will know that they're actually incompetent.

Wat? The idea of an MMO is to get the best armor/weapons. What you do with them is always as pointless as the whole endeavor. I imagine he'll eventually gear up to tackle Bahamut's Coil like everyone else plans to do when they're adequately geared.

The point is, that if organizing a group of 8 people to kill Titan is too much for these people buying a run, then do you honestly think they will stand a chance in coils? Chances are any of them that make it past turn 1 will again, be carried by another FC that's already farming the lower turns.

Stop generalizing. 75% of people that bought Titan knows the fight and can dodge perfectly, but its very difficult to find a well-geared, skilled, and organized group.
People don't wanna waste 100 hours in this boss.

people buying titan runs need to get the gil from somewhere, thats after they have used an amount on pre-relic weapons and materia, so no, the main quest doesnt count into this calculation. The gil would have to come from crafting, gathering, or grinding tomes. But if you do these tedious tasks, then im pretty sure youre not gonna use your well-earned gil on one measly titan run.

Why do we have rmt in this game?
Because people need gil to buy titan runs.

Why do people sell titan runs?
Because people buy them.


Now do you see the problem? Its not the titan run itself, its the people that buys them.

Selling titan runs is just a big fat "We Help RMT"... if you don't know that then I hope they start banning for it.

Wished I had that kind of cash, I'd buy myself a better weapon so people won't bitch and whine about it so I can actually do the fights in peace instead of being carried just so I can get my hands on my relic and +1 it so I can jump around town like some retard acting like he's achieved everything. +1 is pretty god damned easy to get.

Nothing can be done about selling Titan runs. Really, nothing.

The main thing it does, besides filling the coffers of some FCs and creating a reason for people to use gil farmers, is push people through a skill hurdle. Now we will have player who couldn't support themselves through content asking to get in coil runs. I love this actually. See, SE gave us content that was hard and took effort to clear... so people pay people to get them through it.

Guess this is leak over from Free to Play game. "I can't beat something, where is my credit card!?!?"

I'll look down on any one that buys a titan run or relic run. They let others fight the battles they could not handle. I'm not even an elitist or hardcore, plus I haven't even beat titan yet. Only got him to 5%.

I can't fathom why play a game, then pay someone for a win. For me, building groups, learning fights, and building kinship through a common struggle is why I play MMOs. From me to pay for a win is to defeat the reason I play this game.

I know the feeling I will get from beating Titan will be sweet. I failed about 8 titan runs tonight. The failures only made me want it more. I also have found some great raiders through my efforts. I've invited them to my linkshell and we plan to try again later. I will earn a titan kill... not my gil. I will be a better player for it too.

i think most of the titan buyers are solo player, who have no LS/FC/friends whatsoever
i understand their struggle, doing titan hm with random DF pugs is almost impossible, but still, it's not impossible
if they're not willing to find LS/FC/friends, they'll have to deal with random DF pugs

Don't buy it. If you have this skillset to begin with I have to wonder why you're not in a FC with competent people to begin with.
