Stop Buying Titan Kills

[Mayrissa]

I suspect that the majority of the people taking the lazy route to getting their relic weapon are probably also taking the lazy way to getting the Gil to pay for the run.

It stinks of RMT Gil.....

This trail of thought always cracks me up because a few hundred Gil is so hard to make in this game.

On a legacy server if you spend none of the Philo you get from capping myth in AK each week you have ~640 Philo, that's enough to buy 5 Coke or Potash which sell for around 60,000-90,000gil each depending on what day and time you put them on the marketplace.

So we'll say that's an average of 75,000gil per Coke/Potash - sell all 5 of them a week and boom there's 375,000gil - there's your Titan run covered already all through simply running the same bloody dungeon you'll be doing week in week out to cap myth if you don't have access to Coil.

I think the HQ Vanya selling for 6,000,000gil on the Marketplace is probably where people are turning to RMTs

^this. it actually easy to make a few 100k. well Animal Fat and Coke on my server is around 30k tho.
just run a few CM then turn pilo into Animal Fat or Coke, or w/e crafting mat u can buy from pilo. I sell animal Fat a few days ago for 30k each (7of them).

altho, I already kill my Titan weeks ago, (gonna be using money from Animal fat to fun my crafting ;D)

The only reason I'd say people shouldn't be carried in Titan is simply the following. If you can't handle Titan, maybe you shouldn't be playing this game.

I know Titan requires a good group, but if all you do is die and be a burden for everyone, why not do 1 of 2 things?

1-Get better
2-Quit

I know it's a game, but it's not a solo game, if you are a burden to other people you just make the game annoying instead of fun.

i have 2 weeks trying to down titan with pugs on my server...i know the fight by heart and i can carry my own weight but there is someone who just can do it...just cant dodge...now im seriously thinking about paying for the kill

Just get a good group, puging Titan is like expecting a five year old to run a multimillionaire company.

I would never recommend someone to buy any kind of service that pushes you through an event.

In my opinion, having your hand held through an event like this shows others that you have no patience, no dedication, and no pride in what you do. I personally would have a hard time respecting someone if I had known they purchased a free trip through an event that is meant to challenge a persons ability to work as a team.

The following issues are what makes Titan Hm a pain in the arse.

1-Everyone needs to know fight. This almost goes without say.
2-It is preferable if everyone has dl gear, you don't really need it, if you had at least AK gear it be good enough, but having dl gear would make the experience much easier.
3-Everyone's internet connection needs to be excellent, if you have lag, you'll die.
4-DPS should have at least a primal weapon.

and the most important of all...

5-Never die


This fight requires perfection, and sadly, people often fail at the mentioned above, you fail at one of those, the fight is over even before it started.


So when you put together a group, keep these things in mind, and everything should be fine, but like I said above, don't Pug it. It's an almost guarantee waste of time.

Get over it? Like, really. People buying Titan don't affect your gameplay at all - and odds are, if you're running with an FC or LS, you'll never run into people like this.
Telling people to "get better or quit" makes you look like an asshat.

Now and then we have to run a pug whether we like it or not.

What I see in this whole controversy is a warped endgame community that expects "veteran rookies", if you will, and new players too scared to fail at all. Both of these are huge factors in this entire issue of people buying Primal wins (not to mention, if true, the other issue of people sabotaging DF groups to keep the merc hustle going).
