Dawn Drops = 1 gil

[Angelas]

Cause getting rid of a cheap way to make money is treating their players like crap?

Awesome logic is awesome.

The handling of their Atomos debacle wasnt a direct relation to the additional statement.. "with poor planning AND treating their current players like crap." Maybe you should read that statement and understand that one doesnt have to relate to the other, thats the purpose of the word AND..

• The amount of Grand Company Seals required to trade for 999 Bronze Arrows has been raised from 25 to 50.

I wasn't extremely hard core about doing atmos but I guess my 8m I got from it is enough for 2.0.

Yeah, I made just enough that when I got into 2.0 I'll still have ONE mil to my name, lol. Considering Ward prices are bound to NOT drop quickly, that MAY tide me over until they do.

The way I viewed this event was that it provided the opportunity for players to get their promotions. Those that had been stalling because of not wanting to farm totorak or do caravans were given the opportunity to earn enough seals to get to final rank and then finish the rest of the story before 1.0 is put to bed.

Why is it so wrong to be able to make some gil by trading in seals? you still earn the seals one way or another...

The only problem with this event was the amount of seals you could get, if they had reduced the amount of crystals you get per run, then you all would be happier. But if you think hard about it, 1 caravan can give you 1k seals, that is 750~1000 every 15-20 minutes.

Compared to Atomos, Caravan can be a lot more profitable because there isnt a long wait time in between and you are guaranteed to get your seals at the end, only difference is that less people can do Caravans compared to Atomos, so what is the real issue here? is it that people get seals and trade them in for items to make gil out of it? or it is that there is too much people doing this instead of a small few?

You can hold onto a transitional currency which is a problem as well. You can buy crystals off the market and then turn them into dawn drops and usually make ~600K for doing it.

Yes, but why is this so wrong? it isnt the first time people sell Event items and get profit from it. If the crystal seller would rather sell the crystals cheaper and get less profit than doing the annoying buy drops and sell them, it is his own decision.

While some people rather spend hours exchanging crystals into drops and then gil, others would rather play the game they are paying for, and in some cases make more gil because they got a rare materia or item that will sell for a lot more than what one person makes in 1 hours by exchanging drops.

Its wrong only because its making too much money. Since npc's basically print money - the game is printing too much money right now. The game relies on a lot of sinks and trading of hands to keep gil down.

There is a big difference when your boss pays you with circulated money, or if he just printed the money right there for you.
