Hit to Gilsellers?Follow

I thought this was a very good idea. I guess its a bummer for HNMLSes for distributing gil but definately makes delivering bought gil very difficult. :)

WOOTGA!!

This is a brilliant move!

In my opinion this move will do a great deal to curb gil buying in general. A person that would cheat and buy gil does so out of being lazy. In order to recieve the bought gil, the buyer would have to sit in mog and recieve 1 mil, wait for the rotten ******* (gilseller) to send another mil, clear that and repeat the process. Only one of the 8 slots can hold gil. While this isn't a terrible process, 1. It will just plain be annoying and time consuming. 2. And this is the kicker, it will be much more tracable and noticable to a GM which could be set up to monitor such transactions. While SE hasn't released that they will be doing this, it seems to me to be the next logical step.

Perhaps I may be giving SE a little too much credit, but the past few months have made it very clear that something big has to be done. While I personally made quite a nice chunk of gil, I honestly felt guilty about it a number of times. I lowered the price considerably on some of the items I make and sell regularly, but having to pay so much more on everything I bought made that very difficult. The overall effect of all this tended to lower my total enjoyment of crafting, so I am certain that I made less advancement in that area as I would have had the market been pure. This is just my personal view of the situation, I am very sure that some people just loved the market being flooded with excess gil giving them the ability to make a killing. I honestly would like to hear other crafters thoughts on this. If only Jangula could speak english. It seems that he made more on elemental staves in the christmas rush than anyone. This is not to badmouth him, he simply took advantage of a situation he did not create, and seems to be a legitimate player, and has always been friendly in the few times I had dealings with him.

Sorry to ramble, but it is maintainance after all. :)

This is plain stupid. Now when I sell a multi-million gil item on one of my jeuno mules I have to log in and out of my mule character to main in order to send the proceeds to my main char multiple times.....

what is that about....

random ige RMT: oh noes i cant send gil to u

random gilbuyer: oh noes what shall we do

random ige RMT: meet me in 10mins

random gilbuyer: yes sir i wants my gil


yeah it really messed them up not

sorry barry u know i wove u xD

just readin everyone going yay and u know its not gonna happen

Thank you Hixxy for that well thought out and intelligent post. If your so sure this will do nothing, then how about some thoughts about what will help? Maybe you could learn how to form a sentence and spell a bit in the meantime. If you are going to communicate in text, at least TRY to get past the 6th grade.

this is good stuff. Hurts HNMLS tho. But they can, and will find a way to simple use trade instead of inbox. And yes.. it will suck hard trying to mule cash. But yea.. ***** you RMT, and ***** u gilbuyers.

.... unless you missed everything Counterpoint they already do it just look up RMT sites with ps2 owners THEY have to meet so it will be no different im just pointing out the obv.

/cheer Mango

This update = SE being their usual lazy selves, sorta like what they did with the MPK "fix". Do something to get people to stop bi[/i]tching but somehow they can't see that they are giving people new things to bi[/i]tch about.

/laugh if you think this update is going to do anything about RMT. It's only going to make handling gil (and not even mass amounts of it) an inconvenience. 1 million is hardly anything nowadays.

They can claim to ban 700 gilsellers or 7 million, I don't care. I still see the usual obvious gilsellers running around so I'm inclined to believe they still aren't doing crap about it.

Barry;

interesting point, however I must comment that

a) RMT are still alive and thriving, there is some comment I read on another link from alla saying that on RMT sites they say any gil bought would be delivered in person within 10-40 minutes in sandy AH so it hasn't affected the transfer of gil from RMT -> customer

and

b) Yes, one could get a friend to hold your 10 mil you want to transfer from mule, but it's a inconvenient to do so when most of your LS are xping/farming/crafting/whatever.

As for RMT mules with 100+mil, it's somewhat irrelevant. we all know that RMT will have multiple accounts so they can just transfer it in person from one account to another. It mainly screws those of us who only have one account who have to log in and out to transfer between mules.

If SE implemented the gil transfer limit only between different accounts then it would solve my problems, however would still cause issues with end game LS banks and money distribution, etc...

Just my few thoughts on the matter...

Yeah. After thinking this whole "fix" over, I agree with you Louly. While it does make it less convenient for them, It really doesn't do much to RMT =/

And secondly, I concur! If SE would get off their high-horse and vote Shykre, RMT would've been gone 6 months ago.

Italics on the part that just happens to be relevant. Here's an RMT example, yeah? Say you have 100M gil. SE says you can only transfer 1M at a time. Will that stop an RMT from going back and forth and actually getting that 100M gil transferred? Probably not, but if the #1 rule in this game's economy is "time equals money," DAMN, did someone just waste a lot of time.

It's sort of like Chinese water torture, don't you think?
