Thavnairian Bustier - evidence that SE adores Gil sellers.

[Kosmos992k]

Hey Square Enix, please give us ordinary players a break wiil you? You creat items such as the Thavnairian Busier, probably one of the best looking pieces in the game and an obviously desirable item, but put them behind a mountain of crap so high that the vast majority of players haven't a hope in hell of getting it. A 1 star level 60 craftable for a vanity item, no doubt with a short list of near impossible to get materials... I guess I could go buy one, except I dont have the 18 million gil it needs.

Honestly, I think you hate normal players. Things like this are not attainable, just like the stupidly rare swimsuits that came before. All they do is fill the pockets of already very rich crafters with gil that has to come from somewhere. Personally, 18 million is a bit out of my range. The thing is it's out of almost everyone's range, which makes me think that you might in fact be prompting players to buy gil. Why else create things that people will want, but be unable to get, unless they decide to buy a dress instead of a house, or drop somehard currencyto buy gil.

I loathe and despise cheating, gil sellers and all manner of RMT. But here you are, Square Enix, almost literally creating a market for gil sellers. WHY? Do you adore those leeches that much?

P.S. Why do you hate normal players so much?

Well, someone HAS to craft it right? If that's the case, why not you?

You could go level a crafter/gatherer, look up ways to gather up the materials (XIVDB tends to be good for this), and research crafting rotations and requirements, then try and make them yourself. It isn't really much different from the Spring Dress back in the days of 2.2 or so.

What you lose in the massive time sink, you make up for by not having to pay a single cent of gil. No idea what crafting services are like on your server as well, but depending on how expensive the materials are you could also probably commission a crafter on your server to make you a set.

I do want it too myself, but seeing as I'm not willing to level crafters yet, I am willing to wait until I can...

Because he is a "Normal Players" and those bloody crafters are not :3

Well, crafted gear won't be bis anymore (apparently). So that statement says the opposite. I saw that those items you're talking about are expensive, but hadn't looked into it, and was hoping the prices would come down.

Also one more thing in MMO's sometimes the vanity items like for example this dress or w/e you want are actually harder to get then some of the actual end game gear FFXIV isn't the only MMO that does this with vanity items.

Not used to working for something are you?

There's a difference between working for something (that actually helps you in some way, like gear/relic) and stuff being stupidly overpriced that does nothing for you

[Krylo]

They'll likely drop in price as more people gain the ability to craft them and more competition enters the market and demand drops as people who REALLY wanted them already paid their 18 million gil or whatever.

Also:

does nothing for you

Glamour is true end game.

You know what i loathe? These overly dramatic posts.

[thunderbreak]

I'm thinking SE should get rid of Market Board, and make all items in-tradable.

That'll force people to start crafting classes, it'll eliminate requirement to buy gil for crafting and socketing (also cut a major income method for RMT), and there won't be people who's super rich and people who's super poor due to selling things on MB.

Sounds like these things are what majority of you are bitching about.
