GOOD JOB YOSHI P!

Now you are making assumptions. I never said I didn't play the market. Matter of fact, I made my first few millions gathering during Early Access. I was the top geared gatherer on my server for three weeks before I even began crafting. I used to buy undercut crawler cocoons for 500 gil x 99 then set em up in stacks of 10 at 1K and sell out instantly - even when I had stacks of coocoons on me. I am no stranger to playing the markets, kid.

Again, you keep focusing on crafting rather than earning gil as a whole. As I told you, my methods of earning gil were myriad. I gathered, I crafted, I farmed, I sold titan merc runs, I even played the market. But you insist on calling this a commitment rather than a challenge? Well, in my subjective opinion, commitments can be challenging.

Take it from someone who works retail in real life . . . the only challenge to any market other than trending, and even that is not a challenge, is dealing with a difficult customer . . . oh wait . . . we don't have to do that in this game

Matsume, I did agree with some points you have made through this thread, but I kind of have to stand with others that sitting there playing with numbers is not exactly a challenge. Getting a team of 24 to work together in Crystal Tower . . . THAT is going to be a challenge. Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with retail know far better than to think that doing the same thing in an MMO is anything but being casual and not really participating in content.

Don't get me wrong. I am REALLY glad you have fun doing what you do. that is the awesome bit about an MMO - DIVERSITY - but your attitude of this whole thing and the high and mighty "I am such a badass because I pretend I work Wal Street" is just losing you credibility with your replies, as it eventually lost mine as i continued reading this thread. I have high respect for those who become good at something in any MMO, but that respect is instantly lost when you say things like "I was the top geared such and such for three weeks" when we all know full well that there is NO way of telling who had what gear before or after who. Unless there is some OFFICIALLY published article or reward saying as such, all it does is make you look like you are really into yourself. Confidence is one thing, but yours is not confidence - it's just looking like a Troll now.

Fortunately the solution is pretty easy. Even the forum has an "ignore" function, and your posts are easily hidden with this feature.
