How do you know who is a Gilseller?Follow

You're a goblin, back to your cave

our servers number one gil buyer "UNCTGTG"

I'm sorry, you misspelled Jaffla and Hung really bad D:

Maybe your spellcheck is broken :'(

I feel less empathy for gilbuyers than gilsellers. If there weren't any gilbuyers, there wouldn't be any gilsellers. There is, ostensibly, quite a market for gilbuying hence the ubiquitous presence of the gilsellers and their impact on the economy (overblown, IMO). Gilsellers need to play to sustain themselves (no, I'm not condoning their actions, merely presenting their side of things) and possibly others in the real world, whereas a gilbuyer is weaseling his/her way out of any effort to acquire things for whichu others laboured.

As for UNCT, I know the guy fairly well, so I doubt he's either a gilbuyer or gilseller (both accusations at the same time are illogical and funny). The guy knows how to make gil, so don't begrudge him his efforts (80+ of any skill is commendable) just because he knows how to play the market.

Anyway, in general, the ways to identify a gilseller (the point of this topic, presumably) are the following:
1) no linkshell, though this is not always the case
2) gimped sub, 64RDM/24BLM?
3) communicate little to nothing at all whilst in party
4) low rank for their high level job

Once again, these are general idears and nussing concrete, but it seems to be that these criteria are the makings of those oh-so-dreaded gilsellers.

Funny enough, the inverse is not always true. All of (for using someone that is wellknow) George Washinton is dead, but the inverse would state that All of the dead, is George Washinton.

Obviously, the latter is false.

The question of buying/selling is like the chicken and egg, it's answer has no use, and in the end, it's still there. I agree buyers are worse then sellers only because (as stated before) One is doing work, the other is paying for work to be done.

In any case, if sellers where removed, people would still try to obtain gil in other ways outside of the game. (Think back to Prohibition) On the otherhand, going after the buyers will still leave the sellers with a buisness, but without demand. Without demand for gil, companies like IGE will buy less, and even devaule gil comparied to other currency. The lesser of two evils in a business sense would to go after the buyers, unlike a product like "drugs", where the sellers are allowing the flow of illegal products to reach it's buyers.

I used to play FFXI & yes I brought gil twice first time was for my sniper rings I brought 4mil gil & another time I brought another 3mil cuz I needed to buy a new weapon.

Took this pic of the 4mil I recieved, this may or may not help you but this person sent the 4mil & 3mil to me & also heard from a friend who brought gil 6+ times it's only come from this same person.

My characters gone, but I still read the forums to see what else you a$$hats are whining about.

OP: Why didn't you just ask Unctgtg instead of making this post. It would've been much nicer if you first asked him, and then, if he knew the answer, would post those names, and reveal that the source was Unctgtg. Looks to me that you're just a bitter, unintelligent **** that wants to smear smelly caviar on other's reputation. Besides, your topic is completely on the side of things, why not just name the thread "Petition to Unctgtg" or something like that?

It's sort of unbelievable that so many people can have weird opinions about one person that doesn't really stand out. If it weren't for all these slanderous accusations (that also adds some obvious facts, like Unctgtg being a DRK75 that wants to upgrade his relic scythe) I wouldn't know anything about him. Except that he has this annoying flee macro. LOL but noone's perfect. Since noone with an I.Q. under 90 and grades lower than E in English seems to like Unctgtg, I'd like to propose a theory to what might have happen. (since you obviously needs some ideas to what could be the outcome if this continues.)

A ton of people get jealous of Unctgtg - standing out as a rich and accomplished player. So, he gets a ton of aggro, turns arrogant and tired of pathetic and whiny tells ingame and utterly stupid forum posts from idiots like the original poster. (no offense, but I'm sure you must've realized you're not very smart already.) Idiots follow the stream, and it turns into a trend to hate Unctgtg. It's not politically correct, but that's sooo 90s anyway, so let's just join the masses. The fewer that disagrees the better, since we're all cowards anyway.

I'm certain however, that all this attention directed towards one single being would, to an extreme extent, either result in a nervous breakdown or feed his ego so much that he changes from cozy old Uncle Tug-Tug to Uncle Evil-Slug. In either case, doing this, isn't making the Unctgtg phenomenon any better. If you don't like him as a person, you won't change him into the better by giving him this sort of attention over a severe period of time.

Yes I'm excaggerating to prove a point. I'm not saying that he's on his good way to have a nervous breakdown or turning into a demon. But all this negativity (or attention, depending on how you look at it) directed towards one person, aren't really good for anyone. So, if you really want Unctgtg to stay helpful to lowerleveled players and in general be a nice guy, maybe all of you idiots (I'm saying idiots because I don't have any respect for you, I might as well just say it. Why, because you don't respect people for no apparent reason, that's reason enough for me.) There are a lot of other rich players that we never assume buy gil, but they are total jackasses to others. Unctgtg seemingly does neither (act bad nor buys gil) so let's just assume he's doing well in the game and put that part to rest.

Sometimes we all get jealous, it's a human reaction, totally normal. What we should realize, is that jealousy stems from admiration. We aren't jealous or envy people we don't somehow admire. We either admire them, or if we envy their material status, then we admire the stuff they've hoarded up.

Now come on, let's try to have some fun on our server, there's /smile and /wave and /joy, not only /stagger, /fume and /slap for a reason.

i think everyone has a flee macro i had one for thf

"ZOooooooooooooooOM im a zoombie =D "

I thought it was more commen sense but, I guess assumption works to.
