Why people SELLING TITAN KILLS?!

[TeganLaron]

I really don't think there is any point in resurrecting this issue. You ask why? Because they can. End of discussion.

People sell Titan kills so that people in all greens and whites can do Coils of Bahamut, duh.

People buy titan kills because, even if they, themselves, can do the fight just fine, finding 7 others who can, can be.....challenging.

This.

Nothing worse than consistently being one of the last few standing in phase 5. But only half of your DPS is surviving past phase 4; attempt, after attempt, after attempt. I have on occasion considered paying for a clear for this very reason (As yet not needed to however, I have more competent allies these days, now working on relic #3). Personally, I can't decide if "geared/exp'd" premades, or random PUGs are worst; neither I've been in ever gets more than half the team to phase 5

Honestly, I see no point in buying Titan for your relic. Unless you just want the achievement and then stop progressing on that job... Coil comes after that and there are mechanics in there that require quick reaction times, faster than Titan. So let's say you went ahead and said, "well, because I have so much lag, I'm going to just buy Titan to continue with the store." Not going to do you a lot of good as what comes next will also have that problem. You're just filling pockets, and readying yourself for more frustration.

Except that for a lot of casual players, they probably will never go to coil. So that's not an excuse to stop them from getting relics.

One thing I don't understand, are the people who are buying titan, not because they can't execute it themselves, but because they either can't, or don't want to spend time finding a group that can.

One of the reasons I play MMORPGs, is to find people who are pleasant to be around as well as skilled in the game. I'm in a coil group that could easily kill titan, as well as in several linkshells that has decent players who can easily kill titan. It all comes down to networking, being polite, and adding people to your friends list. It doesn't even require much effort, and you'll enjoy the game a lot more with people you can count on, rather than playing solo. I regularly help people get titan done for free, and expand my flist as well as my list of people I should be wary of in the future.

You're doing yourself a disservice paying for titan kills in that respect. But sadly, it's what MMORPGs have become over the past 7-10 years.

That said, I have nothing against the act of selling titan kills - I just don't like the effect it has on the community.

Another one of these threads? Deja Vu all day!

There is nothing wrong with people asking to be paid to do work for you. It is a convenience that groups offer.

Since no one is twisting your arm to pay for it, why would you even bother getting mad about it?

I do not understand why people get so worked up over virtual money. Gil isn'T even that useful other than for repairs.
