I support gil buying.Follow

"It's such an obvious developer pipe dream that perhaps some secretly hope that IGE can work. *cough* Sony *cough* Like I said, if it was gonna work, it would have worked already before. Good luck trying to increase prices paid by players when competition comes rushing in to provide better content for a lower price."

It's interesting that you point this out. I've had many, MANY problems with Sony Online Entertainment games, namely Everquest and Star Wars Galaxies. These bastards really have NO clue on how to run an MMORPG and if you don't believe me, go to the Star Wars Galaxies link here in Allakhazam, and see how players feel about their "updates". They've practically ruined those MMORPGs and kept pushing crappy expansions just to make an extra buck. I really wouldn't be too surprised if Sony Online would stoop so low as to want to make gil buying more successful as long as they get a share of the profit.
But I agree, it'll never happen, because they always keep under estimating the very players that sign up for their games. You can sit here and talk all you want about how "Oh it doesn't matter, even if ALL people that dislike gil buyers and gil sellers left, there would still be enough players to run the game." If you have that sick and twisted mentality, think again. I checked the Star Wars Online posts from about a month ago, I haven't checked them recently, and there is credible evidence showing that the Star Wars license might be pulled out, given to another developer, and the current star wars game would be taken off line for good, until a better, more responsible developer makes another one. All of this, because Sony NEVER took into consideration what veteran players who worked in the test servers opinions to heart. They made crappy expansions, crappy updates, riddled the game with bugs and still tried to pass it off as a good game, Everquest is also riddled with bugs to this day.
I honestly don't want to leave this game, in fact, I have come back 3 times already to this game from trying Star Wars, Everquest and City of Heroes. This is by far one of the best games so far. I think part of it is because SE DOES listen to its players and knows that something has to be done, no matter how little it might be (remember the valentines day gil sellers massacre?). Think about it, by supporting Gil Buying and Gil Selling, you're basically supporting the lowering of standards in thsi game, just so you can get some EXP. Never under estimate the rest of us players who play according to the TOS, believe me, if we ALL left, the same way THOUSANDS have left Star Wars Galaxies, SE WOULD have to close the servers and close Final Fantasy 11 for good. So don't provoke us >:)

You're all butthurt w1ggers who need something to do besides playing FFXI.

Gilbuying is cheating and has ill effects no matter how you look at it, stupid w1ggers...Al qaeda needs to bomb your american *** some more.

lol, that was a good one.

HOLY NECROPOST FROM HELL BATMAN!!!

This is the thread that pushed me away to begin with, who brought this sh[green][/green]it back? Rate down for you.

I hope the fleas of a thousand camels plague the crotch of whoever necroed this thread.

Fully agree with the OP. Its really to bad SE doesnt do like oand just sell game money themselves. They could produce a ton of revenue and would make the game so much more playable by so many more people. I dont give crap 1 where people get their gil, its not my cooncern. I made TONS more cash, much more easily under the gil seller boon last Christmas than I have made before or since from my farming. The gill seller economy was very good to me, and I for one wouldnt mind seeing it return. It cuts out some of the jerky, elitest nature from the game, which is always a good thing, and it helps people who dont otherwise have the time, be able to enjoy the game and compete on a level playing field.

Gil seller economy <yes please>.

I read stuff about liberals and ***** but has there been a pot smoking joke yet? if not...

I was going to buy gil once but then I got high.


*is seriously addicted to getting teh ratezorz dwn"

The game wasn't designed for people to be able to purchase instant gil. Gil-buying affects the game in various negative ways.

On top of that I have a theory that gil sellers are still camping NMs that now drop the Rare/Ex version of items to keep other people from getting them to force them into getting the version on the AH for an insane amount.

And you would be correct, least on Ramuh.

Yeah, this is a really good thread and great points were made. I personally don't care if a person buys gil or not, as long as he or she is a good player. Myself I got a wife and 2 CARS to feed so no gil buying for me. There are some people out there that work 12 - 18+ hrs on a job, (example: some of the people over in Iraq). Once they get off work why the hell would they want to spend there little free time camping an NM that 90% of the time they miss TOD, when they can take there hard earned money buy gil and get what they want. It's your money who am I to tell someone else how to spend it. As far as camping NM's go, if it's not a gil seller there it is someone upgrading there relic. As far as buying expensive or rare items, I never buy them from the AH anyways cause there are always some selling it for a cheaper price and it is usually a person in ur LS. Finally I have been noticing a trend most the people that say gil buying is wrong are those that just get by in the game, they never farm, never camp, can't garden or never do a BCNM so they blame there problems on us who are high lvl where sweet gear and do all the above.
