While lvlin my RDM thru Kazham I saw a lot of those too. I suspect it may have a lot to do with the recent upsurge in Chinese gil farmers, who can nearly always be denoted by their similarity in names, poor (or lack of) subjobs, & crappy equipment. An example is the group of ppl my shell has come to call "The Wangs" (Hwang, Kwang, Zwang, Wwang, Chymo, Bymo); they used to mine in Palborough (& made mee angry cuz none of them used field gear), & now i often see them in Rabao fish-botting.

I remember seeing them when they were first in valkurm. I think they went all the way to thirty before getting a subjob because they still had no sub when i saw them at kazham. Two weeks after that, I saw them fighting nest beetles at CN with fully lvled subs...

Sup Zerath i like your level Im catching up slowly if the Static party goes. and yes i partied with those people i think the bored japanese people (not racist) but they knew what they were doing i was should uncomfortable becuase they never said nothing and had crappy equip and no subjobs. O_o

On a side note, they really don't have much effect on the economy.

Also, the lvl 50+ pld you saw probably did the trick to remove your subjob (equip the same job as main/sub quickly). I highly doubt that he got to 30 with a reg job, and then 50+ as an advanced job without a sub (provoke anyone?) :P

And I haven't seen many lvl 30s without a sub, but I have seen some crappy/underleveled (or sometimes both!) subs on people. Eg: MNK25/RDM7

XD

The reason i say that prices will increase is because its hard to beat out a provoke bot so certain NMs will be even more camped. The gil sellers will set their own price for a rare item such as the kote.

Omg... today is not my day... this is the third time I am trying to type this... so lets try it again...

Those rank 1 30s are more then likely gil campers which are leveling up to stake out a place where they can exclusively suckle all the gil away from the regular people. Which is an awful lot like the 'Wang's in Rabao which are infesting the place like a bad case of herpes. Kwang, Wang, Twang etc have taken over the oasis fishing fishing fishing. What irks me is one of the Wangs has my character model ::harumphs::

Unfortunatly this isnt going to stop until SE puts their foot down, but I cant see that happening because each new 'farmer' account is just another 12.95 lining the execs pockets every month. Which is just another blow to the casual gamer like myself... I dont see why I should have to spend months at a time getting the gil to get a weapon I will use three levels and then have to discard to find a new one. Bleh, I am thinking about taking a sabatical so I dont chuck my computer out the window heh heh.

Anyway... I need to stop ranting... its been one of those days...

wow... i just clicked clear form... >.<
so yeah, anyways, i feel ur pain i have two stories so bare with me ^^
lst story, i was heading to fort ghelshba and i saw a lvl 25war/mnk fighting random orcs, i figure he was doing the kazham key quest, so being the nice guy that i am, i offered to help him, in which he replied. "I'm going to get a Key too!"
i should have just said ok and walked away, but no.. i thought i'd rephrase my sentence. so after that i lead him to where the mobs that drop the key spawn, we got the drop after 4 kills, and then we said or goodbyes, err rather i said goodbye and thought he did to, then i went afk. i came back and he had been poking me saying what are u doing, i asked "do u need help getting out", he said his friends where coming. (at this pointed i hadn't realized that a.) he was lost, and b.) i was going to help his friends get keys *a lvl 25war/mnk and a lvl 35whm/blm*) so i realized what he wanted, and i said i'd help them. we traveled to the elevator in fort ghelshba, where we found them... *sigh* running around in a circle with about 20-30 orcs&tanx following them, so i started attacking what i could (only i was a 32drk/10nin, without poisonaga, i like to farm with two swords, it's fun don't ask..)then they jumped on the elevator, and went down then came back up but left some mobs down stairs, those mobs trained about 15-25 more orcs... i was like "this isn't happening to me..." so we killed them, and lived to talk aboutit. so i forgot i was with 3 chinese players, i jokingly said "any more mobs coming?" the guy said ok... i didnt understand that, but i didn't pay any attention to it. the the whm ran off... and 2 secs later the girl war ran off.. (different ways)the girl war trained another group of 25-30 orcs, and then died.. and i dunno where the whm went... anyways to cut it short i got them a key then spent 20mins trying to explain to them that they could only carry one key per person, then i got stuck on the elevator, (some one kept pulling the lever...) i wanted to die... *takes a deep breathe*
ok then the NM bots... i hate them, but here's what u do, (first off on our server darkwarrior, and darksword are bots. i'd watch them voke everything that spawned... they were working together, i think it was someone with two comps.) any was voke some weak mob in the area, (this works against war's voke and mnk's chi blast very well) if u can handle a strong mob that would be better.. anyways when it's close to the time the mob spawns, walk in front of the ppl boting.. and call for help lol they all voke and attack it, and if their using chi blast they have to wait 5min (i think) before they can recast it. just something fun to do to the bot ppl ^^
yay done

Guess i'm not the only one wondering, huh? I noticed Heppyxioxai (spelling?) and Chinesgirl camp morion worm like 24/7. Whether they really are chinese gil farmers is beyond me though.

and Chinesgirl


That girl is just plain odd. I've encountered her many times, and once she tried to ask me something. It was the worst attempt at communication I have ever seen. Something like "Why you not mob pull in?" or something equally as indecipherable. I asked what she meant, but she wouldn't (or couldn't) answer.

about the 50+ pld, apparently he is someones mule/bazzar character..There are about 4 of them with similar names and they are all high lvl. I have only seen one with the subjob. My guess is that the one with the sub pl the rest. But the first time I saw them was in jeuno all lined up with the bazzars up and full with NM items.

Gil sellers I know and where they farm

Smalltail, Villok, Logitech, HPC, and a PLD whos name escapes me.. They farm in Zi'tah, boyahda, and Upper delkfutt's.

The "Ls" Gang.. They camp the Oozes in Beadaux for the dodge earrings they drop, farm Buburimo peninsula a lot, and sometimes camp NMs in Castle Oztroja.

Whenever I see them, I slap them... Many, many times.

I'm fairly sure Logitech was a sold account.. Mostly because back in the day I used to actually party with the guy.. I suppose he fell into financial trouble and sold his account..

Villok.. Well.. A while back I saw him in Qufim/Kazham as a BLM without a subjob.. I didn't find it at all fishy when he wouldn't respond when I told him to stop being lazy and get a subjob.. THen a couple months later he's lvl 50WHM.. I figured out he was a gil seller then BEFORE I even saw him in a group.

Two days later he was with the logitech/HPC/Smalltail group in Zi'Tah, confirming my suspicions..

So to answer your question, yes.. If they don't have a subjob, if they don't communicate AT ALL, if they have cruddy gear, and do nothing but level, they MIGHT be a gil seller.. Try not to encourage it, by not inviting them.. If they don't respond to /tells, it's their own fault. There's a translator for a reason.

Another case of the "Villok Phenomenon:"

While lvlin my RDM bout a month back, i ran into a character named "Magenly." Rank 1, no sub (even at ~lvl 30), and crappy equipment. I immediately pegged him as a gil-farmer.

Confirming my suspicions, a coupla weeks later i saw him as a ~lvl 50 character. Fully lvl'd sub this time, but his equipment was still horrible (full Taru RSE, as a 50-ish mage?) Since then, ive seen him in a few popular farming spots.

Ya'd tink these guys wouldnt make it so obvious what their main goal in the game is.
