Frankly I don't even know what are the rare drops in this game because the system discourages selling. Without price histories all pricing is just guesswork.

When in the wards it's incredibly annoying to wait for the 3d models to load up. When the retainers finally arrive in the most unnatural way possible by just popping in front of you. You know that wait was so that you could "enjoy looking at 3d character models while shopping".

^that^ is the most stupid reason ever.

Also could people please stop bringing up RMT?
Seriously I haven't seen a MMO without RMT and RMT certainly doesn't ruin any of the games I've played.

XIV has all these systems set up to combat the RMT that make the experience horrible for us real players and still RMT is a massive percentage of my entire server population!

Is RMT active in XI? Absolutely it is. Does it impact the gameplay in any significant way? No it does not. It only has a meaningful impact on XIV where players are forced to suffer because of SE's crusade against RMT.
