Buying class boost for gil - Money making

[MahthildisMMORPG]

Is it morally okay to buy a shop class boost for classes you have no intention of playing for the 500k gil?

Do you know anyone who did it? And is it no different from buying a WoW token each month?

If you buy all the classes, so one class each month, after buying them all, you'll end up with nearly 10k mil gil.

There's not really any sort of moral dilemma here, but it is also nothing like buying a WoW token. These are one-time purchases.

IIRC they are not, you can buy them as much as you want. They are also IN MY OPINION worse than WoW tokens cause WoW tokens dont generate gold, they are a good that can be traded for other peoples gold, the Job Boosts generate gil, inflating the game more and more everytime one is purchased

The boosts are one per character for each Job. Though eligibility does technically get reset with every expansion as they release a new updated set of boosts. Adding another 40€/$ to the total cost (and a potential 1mil Gil extra) with the previous expansion's Jobs...

But still, you're paying hundreds of cash for an effectively inconsequential amount of in-game gil. Not worth it unless you're a billionaire who has more money than common sense.

I think they're more intended for alt characters and what not, maybe if you want to have a character on 2 different regions and what not and don't want to go through the work of leveling both.

See thats what i thought aswell, but i heared someone say that you can buy them over and over if you dont use the boost books

People definitely do it for some reason.. But Gil is so easy to come by, only new players might do it.

.. Do you need 500k? Why spend $25?

That's what $475 for 9.5mil?

I'll just.. Give you a mil. lol

I did it literally once, on my first character.
I had just noticed a price drop on a house and realized it had just entered the sweet spot, so I boosted BLM (which was super annoying to level pre-EW) so I could join the bid spammers by the placard.
Got the house too!

I boosted Monk during SHB to 70 because I'd already leveled it twice on other characters to 80, and didn't want to experience leveling it from 60 to 70 again. The 500k was a nice little bonus that made me consider it, since it would essentially be legal gil purchasing, exorbitant though it might be.

You could theoretically do it endlessly if you had money to really blow like that. All you would have to do is keep creating new characters, buying boosts for them, and then transferring the money through a friend, second account, or FC box.

But man, that's really scalping yourself.

Why in gods name would anyone pay $21 for 500k gil.

When you can just go craft some low level 20-50lvl recipes and put them on the marketboard and make bank.

It's called instant gratification. Many other games have fallen because of this pesky human trait. Just lay back and enjoy the ride, lol.
