Fix the cash shop

[Squintina]

They said they would LIKE PEOPLE TO STOP. They didn't flat out say STOP, period. They also have been closing every single thread popping up by every White Knight complaining about it. This isn't one sided, so don't portray it as such. You are feeding people false information. It verbatim states WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO STOP. Not to stop. They left it up to players to stop themselves. If they really wanted it to stop, they'd have forced their hand 3 weeks ago and either banned them or changed how the system works.

It takes time to change a system. Of course they wouldn't have changed it already...

And also, that's just semantics. The English community team simply wrote it in a nice way.

You also didn't specify how else SE is supposed to know if " this type of trend continues " if people don't report it. Like I said, worst that happens to the seller if they really don't care is that nothing happens.

I'm also not sure what the White Knight comment is supposed to be. I wasn't talking about Black vs White Knight threads (For VS Against threads). I meant, they have closed threads where a person would specifically advertise selling in a particular server. I saw it mostly in the French forums but sadly I can't find them anymore, which makes me think they were deleted after (that or I'm searching for the wrong keyword. There's no Community Team tracker after all and none of the responses were made by Devs)

The question, is why is that bracelet tradable to begin with? I can't trade my moogle hat.

The reason it's tradable is because it was designed so I could be gifted but like every thing else like with hunts people find a way to abuse it your moogle hat can't be traded because it's ment for you and others who got a pre order on the game.

It's very different.

I for one would prefer devs or who ever comment on the status on if they intend to change it because it's being used like this or not. Because the cash shop wasn't ment to be used like this to begin with and it needs to be made clearer on if they care that it's being abused I know they still make their money either way but what about our trust cuz there are people who are starting to think that it's becoming pay to win and I for one am not happy.

Let's just sell levels on cash shop oh wait we can do that cuz we buy a wedding band sell for 4 mill and get carried in Levels and such it ruins the game.

Give them the credit.

Hard to give them that kind of credit when people report/blacklist gil sellers, and by your "credit" they should have plenty of logs to find them, yet the same ones still roam around. Some "tracking" that is....

But whatever, I don't want to argue about this. I'll just go edit my post.

I also never said it was against TOS but that SE doesn't want people to sell the bracelets.

No, what you said was that OP needed to report it because it was abuse. The literal definition of abuse is "to use wrongly or improperly". You can argue all you want that this is abuse and were being traded wrongfully, but you don't seem to grasp that they full well knew it was being implemented as trade able, and only after a bunch of players complained about it, did it turn into it being used against the original intention of the item. Nearly a full 3 days later, well after plenty of people made millions, possibly tens of millions. I don't believe for a second that nobody thought this wouldn't happen beforehand, but that's just me. They aren't stupid.

OK now I really have a beef with you. For someone who was so hung up on semantics over the "LIKE" thing, you certainly are taking my statements way out of their context!

I SAID:
You should report people you see advertising to sell the bracelets. SE already said they don't want people selling the bracelets for gil.

No mention of TOS Or abuse there. Just that they don't want it (which is true).

Then my second statement:
SE said they'd do something about it if it was continuously abused. Even if more pop up, you should keep on reporting so they realize if it's abused enough to do something about it.

In case you can't read. I didn't say it was abused. I said this is how SE would learn IF it was abused so that they can decide if they want to do something about it or not.

You can't just combine two separate statements into one "report because it's abuse" statement as that was not the case at all.

Of course I can, and I just did. I'm not going to argue about it, that's not what this was about. It was about the OP being told the truth, and not being given blanket statements. I will bow out of this conversation, and I believe both you and I made our points. Have a good night.

Good riddance. Nothing like seeing a person who wants people to be "told the truth" and harps on the semantics of a single word that was most likely used in politeness, then feels free to combine things into what they weren't supposed to be, and claims things were said that weren't actually said.

I'm sorry you're so mad about it all. Maybe post what Bayohne said next time a thread pops up, instead of leading people on with your hyperbole.

Just go away. You're a hypocrite with double standards. It wasn't a hyperbole and it's not my fault you extrapolated more from my posts than what was actually said.
