Content sellers and Party Finder

[Gormogon]

Those people are willing to sell clears through content.

Well if we re worded that in favor of RMT we know perfectly well how the dev team would react to it and not just in this MMO alone either.

So that phrasing has a loophole.

I understand the concept of getting people clears at a cost. Since it happens a lot when end-game content in many MMO's where said content isn't easy to achieve and requires party of people to do it.

Personally I don't see why people make a big deal out of it. There's a reason why I don't bother with end-game raiding and make little effort to do the extreme primals. The tolerance level of players has become so toxic that all it takes is 2 wipes for people to say, "omg this isn't happening I'm leaving" making people literally give up on it. I only expect it to get worse because that's the only direction it is heading towards to.

I blame the garlean empire.

I blist anyone who sells content they are one in the same as garbage RMT. Spammers.

[Doo]

I would sell content, but I have a soul so I just help for free here and there. Bad part is can't even afford a small size house though.

[Chickenbacca]

Housing is way over rated. A kind heart is priceless.

I see people buying content clear service all the time. They've cleared it themselves already (seeing how as some of them are in FCs I know that run statics). A lot of the time it's mostly from people who are in statics that run once a week and want to get more runs in (T1-5 + EX primals).

If you've got the money and want to get a certain piece of gear (esp. in T5) then paying someone to ensure a clear doesn't seem like an issue.

As for those paying for clears on primals (specifically Titan EX) because they can't get past it. Again, if you have the $$$ then go for it. I mean you're buying into an economy that will probably gouge you pretty good all things considered. When the service is limited at best, you can expect the amount to be paid before completion to be fairly high (upwards of hundred/s of thousands of gil).

Those people are willing to sell clears through content. They're not making you pay for it, and as such you're more than welcome to make/join a group and clear it for free.



Do you blacklist everyone that sells items via AH? I mean they're selling completed items! How dare they take away from somebody making the items themselves?

Only an idiot would compare the two. Buying crafted gear to help you get through said content, or Paying someone else to carry your lazy ass through said content. See? totally irrelevant argument.

Selling runs for in game gil is the same as a Blacksmith or Armorer getting gil for melds & crafting. It's a vibrant in game virtual economy.

No It is not at all!

Will buying a set of gear from a crafter unlock Ifrit Ex or Coil 2?

[Chickenbacca]

Count it! And One!

Some people pay to get an exclusive roll on a drop, not just because they can't clear the content.

Some people also pay just to have 7 other competent players. Just because somebody buys, doesn't mean they're 100% incompetent.

You may know how to dodge and execute, but that won't mean the 7 other people in your team can do the same when you get a pug

Yes, very likely if you need the gear & melds to meet the ilevel requirements. Everyone certainly has had to buy something to get to where their going.

Unless you, someone in your FC, or a generous crafter made & melded your relic for free… harvested or acquired the materials on your own or had them donated to you… the you “paid” for "advancement" of “content” with in game currency.

Our FC consist of two statics and a few other friends, and we sell all the time. Virtually every week we do sale groups. Just made a mil in the last two days for about four hours of sales.

Sales are awesome! For both parties. About 40% of our sales are not bad players. Some players just don't want to put up with PF groups or DF groups. Sure we have people block us. We joke about it all the time. People who block us are not folks we want to play with anyways. It's not like we are joining any random groups in PF to do content. We don't have to worry about randoms blacklisting us =p

We also have tons of gil now that we pour back into the economy. People are either indifferent or view our services positively. I think people who get upset about sales are either upset they cannot do it themselves or staunchly feel content should not be available to those who excel at making gil.

Most sale advertisements are heavily muted. Maybe a shout every few minuets and a PF ad. I would hardly consider that spam considering FCs spam way more often for recruitment.
