    Sure its boring as hell but if you go hardcore pro on it - they needed to fix it day one. Now we got a funky ass inflow that doesnt belong.
    Well you're one of the few people who don't have to deal with buy/sell lag?

    We're also dealing with massive purchasing and while you may be able to do your first set of purchases quickly, maybe even your second set eventually you will slow down and your purchase speed will decrease.

    The whole point behind why I pointed out the difference in time is just how slow this method is when used numerous times. In a perfect scenario sure, 2s & 2s *might* be best case, but I know in my experience those times were greatly increased.

    So 4 seconds compared to 8 seconds makes a really big difference, that 2m/hr is pretty skewed and it's more like 1m/hour if that's all you did. Also, people purchased crystals as well if they didn't have time to do the atomos farming. I bought mine for 14k/each so that perfect "1m/hr" turned into 300k/hr.

    Conclusion: I just wanted to point out that while it was good money, it wasn't incredible money for the average person who didn't farm 100% of their crystals and turn in their crystals at a blinding speed. Also, I had no clue about the dawn drops until I read about it on the forums... So yet another reason why this became an over-abused system.

    It's slow but so is a lot of other things like grinding crafts. Doesnt stop people from doing it. Specially when its the easiest gil ever.

    Also the people doing it are probably doing it right - clearing your inventory for less trips, perhaps using family (I know of three cases that did this), and I can only assume the RMT's I've watched were using bots.

    Expecting MMO players to have a life is yeah.. :P . The gil from this system is bad because it is fresh printed gil - it wasnt a trade of hands like a lot of sells are (which have taxes for gil sinks).

    yeh I wouldn't doubt for a second that some of those people sitting in front of the GC seal vendor guy for long times with a full 50k seal stack were bots... I seen someone saying they could make a bot to do it for them while doing other things around the house and on the net :\ kinda shitty
