I know, selling the items for ingame cash is optional, whiteknights eat me alive please.

Thanks a lot for this. May I add it to my thread? (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...45-Feedback%29)

Funny all that tells me is that there are 4 players who would normally purchase bot generated gil from RMTs buying player generated gil.

You realize there's so many security risks involved with trusting these shady RMT dealers? Once they get your financial information they know about you even if you get your debit/credit card locked after the purchase. You don't know who these people are or where they come from and you could end up getting nothing while they take your money anyways. This acts as a deterrent to a lot of people from buying from these sellers.

At least Square gave people a trustworthy way to RMT.

My server, my FC mate. We were laughing about this last night.

Had 4 such parties on Balmung last night. One wanted 20 mil for the plat package he was selling. This is depressing...what has happened to all of the good sub based games?

[Kaze3434]

we had a few parties selling them too. initial price was 15 mil, and then crashed to 2 mil in about an hour. was pretty funny.

I've heard a lot of outcry about pay-to-win or whatever, but I gotta ask:

Are people doing this advertising actually successfully selling anything?

Not that I plan on getting married, but ponying up $20 or even $40 is a whole lot easier for me than scraping together six million gil, or whatever ridiculous prices these guys are charging...

If it's a matter of players ASSUMING mouthbreathers in-game are going to buy any shiny they dangle in front of them, forking over the real-life money to stock up on bracelets, and then failing to actually sell any, I'd find it pretty hilarious. XD

Apparently people are paying for the bracelets though....One person said her friend, who is a fresh fifty went from ilvl 55 to ilvl 110 thanks to this patch. Selling one bracelet covered the cost for a full set of 110 gear.

Yes, ppl will pay insane ammounts of gil for this kind of stuff.

Actually yesterday I went mining, got a Boarskin map, opened it....treasure dropped an unhidden map, went to open it and got the new spriggan cap.
So I go to the MB to see how much are they selling for, there was none posted, looked at the history of sales....none.....WTH? server first trying to sell it?....well I placed it for 4m just to try to get some leverage on its worth.....was sold in about an hour for the 4m I placed it.

That meant you put it at WAY too low a price. Could have probably got at least 15mil for it. /comfort
