Is time to leave this game????

I personally have never needed to buy any shards. I get a ton from just playing and doing quests.

That's because at your crafting level, recipes don't require many shards. Also you can farm the shards with miners and botanist. Leveling multiple DoH has taught me that initially, you do seem to be self-sufficient but as the cost of shards per recipe increases, you need to either gather or buy.

If we ignore this problem;they can buy everything they want or sell gil . ex:house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But we can't. Why!!!!!! because they are super rich

I'd like to take this moment to address another issue all together, it's pretty bad when a game has a gathering system that in all honesty compels me to want to bot.

SE Just doesnt care ive reported one bot that warps around dragonhead claiming every sheep for 2 weeks now everyday. I wake up and hes still there, id love to see SE do something.

Your shard prices are above 20gil?

Quit bitchin'. Shards are flooding in the 10-20gil range here. That's not human.

[BalthierDragoon]

LOL. Cerberus prices (1000-3000-... packs):
7Gil for Wind/Ice/Water/Earth Shards
8Gil for Fire/Lightning Shards

Try to report to the GM and give them sometime, they are usually really helpful!

When making the game, SE figured there would be bots, mostly from RMT. They also figured they would not be able to stop the bots, since no matter how hard you delete them, these idiots keep returning. Therefor, someone really smart figured they should build the economy based on the assumption that there would always be bots. Therefor they made high level recipes so that not only do you need a few high level mats, you also need a bunch of low level shards.

If it wasn't for bots, we'd have to either pay an insane price for shards, or mine them ourselves, which is so boring it's lethal. Item prices would be determined on how many shards you need, rather then what other ingredients go in it. Economy would be horror.

SE created an artificial hole in the economy for the bots to fill, so that they wouldn't be a risk to economy. Instead of having to delete the bots, or risking economy to be ruined, they just let them do their thing because economy is fine. I think it's a genious move.

if we could open world pvp, we wouldn't have this problem.

of course we'd have other problems but it wouldn't be the dev's fault.
