Why are people rewarded for cheating?

[allecs]

In a game like this, why do you care?

There's no rare drops to farm and sell.
Everyone can get all "rare" gathering mats just be there at the right time.
Good drops from dungeons aren't traceable.
There's really nothing to buy in the market boards.
There's a horrible token system and a weekly lockout so you can't farm.

I don't see why people cheat at this game, it's nothing to gain from it. I also don't see why people care about cheaters, they aren't gaining anything lol.

Crafting is why they cheat. lot of gil to sell to players

Gil trickles in way to slowly (because there's no real economy in this game because that would be to hard for the kiddies) unless you have a slew of workers. Like the Korean companies, then you have them undercutting you to dirt. Therefore still gaining nothing.

I would dispute that. My friend is heavy into crafting and makes millions with very little effort (Mining being his main source). You just have to watch the market. To say this game has no economy is very blind and shortsighted. It has one. Its just always is major flux. It works for people who know how to watch it and take advantage.

I have to agree with this. There is alot of gil moving around you just need to find it!

I didn't say there wasn't an economy I said there's no real economy. I mainly craft and I have several friends that mainly craft and the money coming in is slow compared to other MMOs. That's because everyone can do everything and everyone can get everything. (That's sellable anyway). So there's a lot of supply with not much demand. I enjoy making money in every mmo, but here its just extremely slow.

than you guys are selling the wrong things. If i want to make gil I can make alot in a day and everything sells pretty fast. Sometimes even instantly. Everyone cant do everything.. not everyone lvled all classes /gathering. But if you try and sell in a flooded market than yea your gonna have a bad time. Change it up do some math and make that gil.

I don't do it any more cause I noticed there's nothing to buy. But obviously selling what everyone else is selling while people undercut like crazy is a bad idea. Its still a slow stream compared to what we are used too. We're used to rare Mats that aren't handed to everyone just for showing up. Going to take down hard bosses, getting phat lootz. But eh, I still just don't see why people cheat at this game of all games. *Shrugs*

Again I dispute that. There is a LOT of demand for MATERIALS on the market boards. That may be a problem on Balmung and not anywhere else with it being the most populated server that may be why your having problems. It is NOT a problem on Behemoth as of yet. and if it hasn't yet I doubt it will be.

There isn't a high demand because people can just get it theirselfs if the price is too high. I've watched a few high priced mats and they just sit there until someone drastically undercuts. I've.also played on Gilgamesh, Sarg, and Hyperion. Slow trickle.
