Dawn Drops = 1 gil

[Maxthunder]

Why is it so wrong to be able to make some gil by trading in seals? you still earn the seals one way or another...

The only problem with this event was the amount of seals you could get, if they had reduced the amount of crystals you get per run, then you all would be happier. But if you think hard about it, 1 caravan can give you 1k seals, that is 750~1000 every 15-20 minutes.

Compared to Atomos, Caravan can be a lot more profitable because there isnt a long wait time in between and you are guaranteed to get your seals at the end, only difference is that less people can do Caravans compared to Atomos, so what is the real issue here? is it that people get seals and trade them in for items to make gil out of it? or it is that there is too much people doing this instead of a small few?

The fact is some if not most players dont want to farm or work for the gil they need, therefore they take the easy route. There are 2 LS members who was asking about this 1 said im too busy to go farm i am working on achievements and the other said farming no thanks. This is the issue as players are too damn lazy to get off their ass like most other players and farm/work to make gil. Getting gil in 1.0 isnt hard hell spirit bonding can make you a shit ton of gil but .... some players just dont want to put the effort into it and choose to take the easy route out.

im glad they did this but at the same time it seems too late

Wrong way to fix it, the event didnt cause this to happen.. people were doing this with dawn drops from months ago.. all of a sudden something is wrong with it?

This isnt the only reason I will be leaving the game early until 2.0 but its one of the reasons.. very poor planning this week I will take care of space on my character then I am out until 2.0.. done with poor planning and treating their current players like crap

edited: for the record I wasnt even really using dawn drops to make a bunch of money but this stumbling nonsense SE keeps falling into is just idiocy

Cause getting rid of a cheap way to make money is treating their players like crap?

Awesome logic is awesome.

good points from both sides but I think it's about time to close this thread Not much more can be gained here.

The handling of their Atomos debacle wasnt a direct relation to the additional statement.. "with poor planning AND treating their current players like crap." Maybe you should read that statement and understand that one doesnt have to relate to the other, thats the purpose of the word AND..

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, bucko.

It is so easy to make money in this game nobody has any excuse to be broke save laziness or poor spending habits.

I ain't broke, and make good coin selling lvl 1 materia (as long as I can keep my retainer in Uldah that is).

I'm just jealous, cuz I don't anything about this atomos event, and how to profit from it. /cry

Indeed, but your over seeing something about that... say average player A likes to farm stuff for his gil, so at end of a 4 hr play session he could net what 300k - a mil? Player B likes to use his 4 hrs to make 5 mil doing pretty much nothing, for over a week( lets say 10 days).. player A has made roughly 3 mil - 10 mil in those 10 days while working and using legit game mechanics that ARE intended. Player B, while using very little work and unintended game mechanics has netted 50 mil+++.. Regardless, people who have overly used that atomos fudge up have far exceeded wealth of players who try to enjoy and play the game as intended vs those looking for a quick buck exploit.. and it can't be taken back and can't be earned now, so those who didn't know, knew it was wrong, or just plain didn't give a damn have lost out from this screw up.

And remember, not everyone is running around with lvl 50 across the board and can make or do anything as it comes into thier mind
