Is buying gil really that bad?Follow

The biggest complaint would be how you use that gil. If you are willing to pay jacked up prices then thats a problem, but if you control restraint and only pay what items are worth and maybe to lvl a craft its not as bad.

Most see it as supporting the gil sellers, some of the gil sellers are actually nice but some will and do anything to get a claim.

I think buying gil is liking using a cheat on a game. Ruins the whole point of playing that game. You buy a game, get home use cheats and complete the game in a day. You miss quite a big bit of that game because you used cheats and theres no challange in the game. Just like ffxi, buying gil removes a big part of the game.

You need to go play WoW.

Being too lazy to farm is allowed there.

Is buying gil bad?

No.

Is supporting gil sellers bad?

Yes.

People associate purchasing gil with nearly everything wrong with the game anymore, especially price inflation. While some of these accusations are true, you have to remember that this is the fault of players as well since no new currency is being introduced in to Ragnarok's server by these transactions. Keep in mind, every time you sell an item for a little more than it's being listed as, you're supporting inflation. Ever helped out someone new when they get the game by giving them a small amount of gil? It's the same principle. That being said though, the people who sell gil must acquire large amounts of it in small periods of time to maintain a business. This means that they will, more often than not, religiously camp Notorious Monsters that drop items that people need very badly in order to charge whatever price they deem right for the item. It's brilliant when you really think about it. You're buying the gil from them to buy items that you really need that they're probably monopolyzing. These people are generally not nice or cooperative and will steal claims or MPK to insure that they get the drops that they need. So while the transferrence of large amounts of gil isn't necessarily horrible, supporting these people and encouraging them to continue doing these things is. Before you think about purchasing, please try to think about everyone else on the server and how it's going to affect them.

yea i say gil buying isn't that bad, but it's funny how every1 assosiates that u r going to use that gil to buy items that they camp when quite a bit of items normal players made that price, look @ PCC, it's only a BCNM drop now (for the one u can sell). well this was 20mil before patch, hit 7min after, and now it's back up to 15mil-20mil, guess what u just bought something that normal players can get just fine and sold, Buying gil people always say, "O they r going to use it all there and then for an item(s)." well thats real money, Unless ur so hooked that this game took over ur life, i really dought that ur going to just toss it all away the sec u get it in ur DB. I mean, yea we say O if ur going to do it then use it for something to craft. Um..... u see crafting, half of the stuff u lvl off of u loose money constantly. Smithing i have gone through 1+mil just for 1 lvl (and thats in lvl 69ish). crafting prices r screwed up, XD venimous claw is more expensive then then a scorp. Harness. i mean is that screwed up or what.

Yes gil sellers can be nice or can be the biggest #&$'s that u will find. Most items that ***** us over aren't the best items, it's the normal items that we get all the time, the every day items that eat away gil. Btw any1 see whats comming in the new patch, um.... SE is trying to fix MPKing, 1 i think they mean this for the people who get POed and do this to others just for the hell of it, and for the gil sellers i think is the biggy.

all i'm really saying is gil buying is fine, but think before u do so, and for others um.... here u go. if an item is too expensive


"DON'T BUY IT". Items will go down if they don't sell, that is what tax is for. if they keep putting it in for an uped price and no1 buys it then unless they lower it, the tax will eat away their gil.
