You could enter Meeble Burrows more than 5 times per 24 hours. Seemed more fair than the current thing, but still. Even though barely anyone does it anyhow... they simply didnt really notice till now.

I have a feeling that cru to gil was overlooked for months b/c of the leadership changeover and people weren't complaining about it. Well, or Tanaka was out of it and wasn't listening.

Why does it say BF instead of Maat?

I think SE is just trying to get the economy under control. I don't know if it's something they'll be able to carry out, but a huge constant influx of gil tends to trivialize the currency and you end up with Diablo 3.

Prolly because some of the shattering starts bosses are not maat, so they went "BF" which is prolly short for "Boss Fight". ^^ I always called the post-CoP Shattering Stars bosses "Job Masters" but that's me..

oh nuts, I was sitting on nearly 7 mil cruor and never used it. :(
#13 Oct 22 2012 at 3:19 PM Rating: Good
Well, now people will actually use their cruor to upgrade atmacites, like it was intended.

What a moronic update. How about you add content so people aren't left with finding the most efficient item to NPC since there is basically nothing to do except make gil? Maybe you could have like, thought about this thing you added to the game, instead of nerfing things after they have become mainstream.

Typical 1 step forward, 3 steps back. And here I thought Tanaka was gone.

Next update: Pebbles now NPC for less than 1 gil!

I think the issue was that the RMT were farming it, too.

And this warranted an "emergency" maintenance why? It's something they could have fixed in a future update, FFS. Gonna call it now: Next thing they make unsellable in the name of combating RMT will be voiddust.

SE: Pissing off the playerbase in the name of combating RMT since 2002.

Seriously. For the common player what's left? Abyssea is all tapped out due to being abandoned. Meebles is hamstrung by lockouts. They just killed the profitability of VW. NNI is only meant for leet haxorz. Dynamis is about to be overrun, and has never ever been fun. Old events are hardly worth it. I guess there's Magian trials? Good luck affording your flame geodes now though.

New Producer, same as the old Producer. Maybe we should just call him Tanaka, Jr.

People aren't making millions of gil just leveling characters or doing a couple runs of voidwatch?

Did nobody else notice a little inflation going on?

Anyway, the gil you've got just shot up in value. Trivialization, like someone mentioned Diablo already, is a dangerous thing to court.

Hmmm, how involved was the new producer with FFXI during the development and addition of Abyssea? I was going to say that he's having to clean up a mess that's been left behind that he wasn't responsible for creating in the first place, but I can't say that for sure. SoA should be a good measuring stick for the new guy's vision and direction.
