Dawn Drops = 1 gil

[Shougun]

Exactly, people throwing that word exploit around and dont even really understand what it means.. it was an oversight from the development team NOT an exploit

You dont understand what an exploit is.

Exploits are created from oversights on the development team. THEY are NOT hacks - they are from bugs/glitches and other types of over sights.

They never said they anticipated gil from the event. They however said more gil is coming in then they could imagine and they need to change it - because its not good.

anticipated... expected....

It means the same thing.

It means the same thing.

Ok they never said they expected it either.

The point is it wasnt meant to happen. An exploit is something that wasnt meant to happen - and shouldnt have (in simple terms).

They didnt want that much gil to come into the system - it shouldnt have happened. IT IS an exploit.

What? o.o

Did you not just read the quote that I posted?

I wasn't extremely hard core about doing atmos but I guess my 8m I got from it is enough for 2.0.

[Punainen]

Yes they were, visit the Japanese forums, they started doing this as soon as it started because they knew about using dawn drops via GC seals...


Also people farm drops from monsters to sell to NPCs that were included on the list from the GC.. and they did it as a means for income now this change affects that as well as people that used those items for crafting, they just drastically changed the value of those items..

not the way to fix it.. they should have adjusted the event..


sidenote.. expect like 90% less people doing Atomos now so if you need that win good luck on making that happen

Yeah, it screws over anyone who was leveling Alchemist with dawn drops or blood drops, screws over cooks who were making ginger cookies or prunes, and makes there be literally no reason to do any activity that earns you seals if you're already capped.

This has however ruined provision and supply missions. From being able to pay back some or perhaps all of your resources to well, nothing. There go my plans and about 500,000g of stored up materials. Guess I'll be stocking up to high hell on every GC consumable as i have no gear i need and am already at 50k.

Buy dark matter grade 5 with your seals. The demand is high since the atomos event.

They said the gil inflow recently has been more then expected. Then they go on to say they where watching gil inflow from seals particularly and they where not pleased.

They are not correlated exactly, and if they where (since perhaps its subjective how you read that sentence) then they should have had more forethought. Its quite easy to see thousands of seals coming in for a low gil cost high gil return is not good.

[Griffster]

The way I viewed this event was that it provided the opportunity for players to get their promotions. Those that had been stalling because of not wanting to farm totorak or do caravans were given the opportunity to earn enough seals to get to final rank and then finish the rest of the story before 1.0 is put to bed.

Yeah, I made just enough that when I got into 2.0 I'll still have ONE mil to my name, lol. Considering Ward prices are bound to NOT drop quickly, that MAY tide me over until they do.
