Selling Runs and Clears

[Odstarva]

The passion with which some people defend these "content clears"...
Are there that many people that can't complete content on their own? Or are the high tier raiders afraid of losing their source of gil?


Funny, either way!

And you are kidding yourselves if you don't think it encourages RMT. I wonder, do these raiding groups ever scrutinize who is paying them? Ever investigate the player hiring you to see if they have any gatherers or crafters leveled up? Because they certainly aren't making their gil pushing raids out if they require your help...
Plus, explain how the cross-region content-skippers are getting "payed in gil". I'd love to know, in detail, how such an arrangement would work out.

Is false listing against any rules?

I'm not certain but I firmly believe that it ought to be. would there be an issue if it were added to the list of rules?

Many players I've sold to can clearly do the content on their own, just sad the people they join are bad. Of course they can complete it on their own, it just depends on the group/players they are with. We all know how it works in FF14. I don't blame them, it's nearly impossible to farm too because how bad people are.

But then, if they can do content on their own and you aren't carrying them... Why are you charging a dime? For the privilege of playing with you and your friends? That somehow sounds even worse!
Though if you are carrying them, how can you assess that they can "clearly do the content on their own"? Because I could just as easily yell "every time I fail a raid, it's actually someone else's fault".

In the end, people can do whatever they want, so long as it follows the rules. And this is a situation where RMT becomes an attractive proposition for people that don't have neither the time nor patience to see content through on their own. And if they lack both of these for raiding, I don't see how they would manage to level a crafter or gatherer all the way to 70, let alone gearing them up and then making stuff worth selling.


I'm sure there are exceptions. Don't tell me most people that pay you to do content for them are good players, because if they were you'd be out of business.

You don't get it..... You can be 1 player but you need 7 other competent players too. How often do you meet them? Not often. Just because I can clear content, which I have 99% of them, doesn't mean I could do it without a competent group. Try do shinryu extreme with 7 other people who are headless chickens, good luck to you then. I often question myself if people keep forgetting this is an MMO and teamwork is something that people need to put effort in or is that something people ignore? I will say it again, just because you can do content doesn't mean shit when 7 players can't. Hell even 2-3 in a group will be enough not to beat the fight.

I think that was a general RMT Question for you, as a Content Seller, I mean with that Surename... *coughs and disappears*

The issue is easily solved with kick/blacklist. You will never, ever see him again in your parties.

I'll use blacklist when they finally add that "Delete All" button to instantly clear out all the RMT spammers I filled it with back when they were doing that annoyance of spamming people with /tells... >.>
