Xable?Follow

Hi. I'm sure a few of you know me, maybe (my name is in my signature). First post on the Diabolos forum. I didn't want to make an introduction thread or anything, because I'm not really that interesting.

So, instead, I pose a question!

Recently I've noticed a group of players all with the word "Xable" in their name. The only one I remember right now, without checking, is "Xablethf". As I recall, none of them have subjobs, and they're all in their high 20's (or maybe low 30's by now).

Who are they? I feel like I should know, that I'll probably be ridiculed for being "out of the loop" .. but I can't help that!

I'm not going to say anything about them, as I don't know them .. I'm just curious as to why they're all sharing the same name and doing the same odd thing.

Well, anyway .. hello Diabolos! I hope that I can find some friends here on the forums ..

Well,I know for a fact Xablesnow speaks fleunt English,so that sort of takes away the stereotype that all gil-farmers are Chinese or non-english if they are in fact farmers.I personally don't mind if they are,as long as they don't camp a certain NM on shifts in almost an eternal period of time then they can do whatever they choose.

Well, Razor, one of the Xables was interrupting my party play once in Qufim .. attacking worms there. I don't know why, really, they could've gone almost anywhere else. Not to say he's a bad guy .. he could've picked a better solo spot, though ..

A~nyway! I don't much like the idea of selling gil, but it happens. I can understand what you mean about NMs. Out of sight, out of mind, I suppose ..

As long as they're not getting in anyone's way, they can do as they please. That's what the game's about, really.

::feels like a tard because He called Jesimomo "m'lady" and notices his name is "lockeboy"::

Nevertheless, ive noticed this too...i just keep to myself.

Call me what you wish. Who I am in real life is of little concern .. truthfully, little know my actual gender (do you really know?), and I'd like to keep it that way. People will generally (sometimes unknowingly) treat you differently based on your gender .. I know this all too well.

But hi! I remember you. You raised me in Gustaberg. I sure hate that place. I'm eager to get the heck out of there. I hope your fishing went well.

Eh, this is sort of off the topic of the thread, but there's not much more to be said on the Xables .. though I did see that Jkjk fellow shouting about selling ore in Bastok the other day. He gave up after a bit, though.

I know it's wrong, but I like the Xables. I don't appreciate the idea of playing a game to make money, or the exploitation of poor people to make a buck, but there's something about these guys.

For one, our friendly neighborhood gilfarmers level their subs. They have their own linkshell; "TheCrimsonArmy" or something like that. The WHM, Xablesnow(?) even helped out our exp party in qufim with a random cure 2 every now and then, no questions asked.

Also, I've never had them do anything overty mean or rude to me. Our LS always gets a kick out of reporting their whereabouts, and messing with them..

So, whilst Gilsellers suck, at least our prominent diabolos ones aren't as sucky as some. Anyone have any real dirt on these guys?

Hey guys if you see anyone else training mobs to the tower zone. Please send me a /tell bigmike. I'll come up there kill everthing before it hits anyone. That action of training/charging for raises is sick. Then I'd call a GM for training constanly. This action is uncalled for and needs to be stoped.

Hey everyone!
I am new to the boards, nice to meet all of you. I got up at 5:00 AM this morning to try to get 25 before i had to go to school, and ended up in a party with the Xables. First, they are indeed Chinese, and despite what someone in this thread mentioned, they do not speak English. To communicate with others, they use the pre-programmed emotes and macros when they communicate at all - i was in a PT with them for 15 minutes and they never said a word. I am not certain they are gil farmers. First off, a GIL buying company wouldnt have all their 'employees' named names that similar as it would draw a lot of attention to what they are doing (seems that way to me anyway). Second off, it seems that GIL sellers want to get as high as possible as quickly as possible because it is the higher up items/mobs they want to camp. If you believe this to indeed be true, then you have nothing to worry about from the Xables, it will be months before they hit a decent farming level at their rate. All of their armour was gimped (couldnt tell if they had subs because they were all /anon) and they had no tank, and when they WOULD kill something (after all being killed by wigths 3 times) they would get 43 EXP, 43 EXP they all seemed to be very pleased about. I stayed in the PT for so long because there was no one else looking at 5:00 AM :oP and the sheer amusment of the whole situation held my attention. Anyway, thought i would relate this, as i saw the post.

Hrm.. Gil sellers eh? I thought that someone was 'growing' characters to sell. All the same type of name.. I dont know. BUT Ive seen them all together PTing. I think it looks like a bot PT though.

Anyway, Im Ygraine on Diabolos server, and thought Id say hello! =)

Ok, Back to these guys..... Two weeks later the truth came out.

These guys bought out all field tunics I was selling BOTH in Bastok and San d'Oria. Alarmed by this I looked at all minig locations this monday.. What do you know... 3 Xables were mining in Gusgen.

So now we have jkjk and Xables in Gusgen 24/7... I am affraid Gusgen Mines are now kaput :((. I am also affraid that prices of ores will steadily go down if this trend continues
