An apology

[Dav]

I don't really understand the hate for Titan runs being sold...

This game is all about cooperation. Most FC's are about cooperation and helping each other to finish the hard fights together. It leads to moments of triumph that are wonderful. Those who emerge from the crucible may have lifelong friendships, memories they will treasure, and in one case I know an engagement.

FFXIV is designed with this in mind.

By selling or purchasing Titan runs you cheat all of your customers of these experiences. For a chance to pass the fight quickly you deprive all of your customers of the experiences that come with actually playing the game properly.

I don't hate you all. I hate what you are doing. I understand the gil temptation. But in a few months when you own that large mansion....I think the better party will be at the smaller house down the hill. In that house the people have beaten Titan together after long hours of struggle. The party will be better there. Much better.
This is why Titan runs are hated.

By selling Titan runs you advertise a cheap win in exchange for not just gil, but for all the wonderful things actually playing the game properly can give you.

You are not a gill seller, but gil sellers also deprive people of the triumphs of a well earned FFXIV experience. That is why people often compare Titan sellers to gil sellers. Selling gil or Titan runs undermines the game and our gaming communities.

You may at this point argue that it is the customer's choice, but many many bad people make this argument to justify things.

Again I do not hate you all, but from my perspective you are hurting the entire Balmung community.

This is why our FC has banned this practice, and most players hate it.
