SE help reduce allagan leather prices

[Ashkendor]

well for one i am sure they using bots to farm t4, and being gil sellers, they control the price of alagan leather by buying any cheap ones from the mb , and then seting the prices on servers. this item shud not be 250k+ it's a bit crazy....

Gil sellers don't typically flip items on the market board with their gil, though. They sell it for RL cash. It seems way more likely that it's a player with a large amount of gil trying to corner a market by reselling the leathers at a profit.

In any case, bots farming T4 doesn't seem very likely to me. Have you ever seen a tank bot in a dungeon? All they do is autoattack one mob at a time. They can't hold hate worth half a crap and they don't use defensive cooldowns; they just stand there and die. Outdated though the content may be, Dreadnaughts still hit friggin hard. They can one-shot anything other than a tank (and could probably even one-shot a poorly geared tank), so even if they have healers spam healing the tanks, all that ends in is two dead healers and the rest of the party soon following. Seriously, just farm some T4 yourself if you need the leathers. It's a 5 minute run at most.

sometimes i ask nicely and he let me have it, but usually nobody want to pass items they can trade for seals. that's another thing that hurts the people that desynth like me, maybe SE can reduce prices on grand company seal items and related quests so people won't be so eagger to lot items so much to trade for seals, items that can be very usefull for desynth, end up being traded for silly gc seals.. it's sad.

Why should they pass? Zodiac relics take 80k seals. Lucis tools take 80k seals apiece as well.

Or maybe they're desynthing them too.

still don't understand why they dont make materials available for crafters in other ways like maybe ixali quest or anything that does not involve things that gill sellers can control like that. give us a quest for it, i will do it even if it takes 10 hours to finish.

Because they did that with Sealants and the crafters who do Ixali control the prices of those with an iron fist. SE also had to do a rework of the system because people couldn't freely do the other beastmen quests if they wanted to farm for the sealants.

<_< 10 hours...really? >_>
I feel like you're trolling. All this for one allagan leather that drops super easy. Just get your FC together with the tank that's trying so hard for this piece and do the run for him.

Still getting troll from this...
Why would you want gear to have a reduced turn in incentive? GC seals are super useful for Lucis in multiple ways. It's also useful for people leveling and ventures. You need tons of GC seals to fuel all that. Reducing it would only make the queues even longer.

Also, GC seals are awesome. I use them for a lot and I spend them a lot and gear turn ins are what I use to get them. I had to turn in practically all my old gear just to make enough seals for my Zodiac.

In my opinion, you should wait until T4 is a Bright for light farming. Whenever it is for our server, the people getting light spam it and then throw the materials up on the board. They aren't RMT and they aren't botting in any way that you would be able to notice. It's unreasonable to think that everyone selling allagan leathers is botting or RMT. It's just players controlling the market.

I can't understand why this is such a deal to you. Just farm it yourself or buy it from one of the players who already listed it.

Get your raid group to farm turn 4 for like an hour and you'll have all you need.
