suggestion to STOP gillspammers

[Serrameth316]

ok so..i love FFXIV just want to say so before i start. this is one of my favorite MMO to play.

in saying this i would like to pose a few suggestions to STOP gill spammers. these are as follows..

1. make it possible for players to sell in game what they buy on the website mog station store. in effect this balances some (probably not all) of the in game economy, people with real world money that dont know how to make gil are able to by buying items from the mog station! (Square enix still makes money!)

2. make a loyalty system. this means if you play the game (complete daily quests, hunts ect) you receive a number of loyalty tickets/points/whatever. and you can spend these in the mog station market for loyalty items (this could be anything dye/gil/minions).

i love this game..but something needs to be done about the spammers..i hope that someone legitimately reads this post!

good luck!

People have already been trying to do that with the eternal bonding things, even though SE has said they don't want people to sell them in game

i dont see why they care so much if people that buy items from the store sell them for gil..they are making money either way and lossing money by NOT allowing it..the gil spammers are getting worse and worse..its ever 5 seconds on my server.
the loyalty system is a good idea as well. i wish someone from square would read this.

why wouldnt you do something to TRY AND SOLVE it.

Go reread that post. It's politely worded, but the problem isn't that people are selling them, the problem is the incessant stink people are putting up about it.

cosigns own idea lulz

I don't think the ''loyalty'' system is a great idea. What are they loyal to ? Peopel who buy from the cash shop are ''loyal paying customers''? Placing dye and items in the cash shop is indeed as stated so many threads before this , a easy dollar for SE. Selling said items in the game has nothing to do with SE, if they nix this however the increase in people buying them will be cut. Who would buy 2 more braclets if they can't sell them for 5 mil a piece? SE will ride this wave for a while *grab your board

Ok, from the original post that started this thread, the suggestion has completely derailed. Allow me to simplify and reiterate please.

RE: Eternal bonding - Wedding package purchase gives both wristlets to person who bought it in a packages, plus an item that starts a quest, the completion of that quest allows the wristlet to be traded once to allow both to have one. the eternal bonding SHOULD NOT be a Gil sale exploit, and the small change i just listed would prevent that.

RE: Gil Sellers - To take vanity items only, ie Dyes Mount, and Minions that they already have in the mog station store, and make them tradable, the people who keep the gil spammers in business have an alternate way to do what they are gonna do anyways, the farmers leave FF XIV because they no longer get business, and the rest of us who despise Gil Farmers are allowed to play the game with out having to see add messages spammed repeatedly until our blacklist is full.

RE: Loyalty System - Figure something out. Something that allows the players who log in and play every day to earn vanity items for their dedication. It's more of a Thank You for the Loyal players, and would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time in reading this. In no way do endorse Currency Farmers, they are annoying and disruptive.

If farmers no longer get business then what are we spending our gil on ?

You don't make gil off having gil? Actually the more gil floating our there the more farmers would make.....Do you think people will just sit on the 10 million they just made ? No they will go buy things with it ?

Easy way to stop the gil spamming is to not have players buy gil !!!!.
If there is no demand there will be no market.

(1) Some people play for the vanity. Not fair to them if the good stuff is behind a paywall.

(2) Farmers didn't leave AION when cash shop stuff was tradable.
