God damnit alauce, quit hogging all the rabbits in ronfaure.

i hate the gilfarmers as much as the next but i think some people think im one of them O_O

i seem to get random tells "china?" or "your are china?"

so just for the record im no gil farmer ^^ just a crazy taru /panic

DOH! well that will teach me to use a x in my name >.>

ah well i will just continue to /poke the gil farmers whenever i see them ^^

hmm..not sure about Hangx, haven't paid enough attention to really have an opinion one way or the other. But I can say they were hanging around outside Crawler's Nest last nite when I was there, n didn't seem to be doing much except for killing the occasional Ochu, or just sitting there. That isn't exactly the best spot/behavior for camping or xp'ing, but that was also just one night. *shrug*

Hmmm. I've yet to see them there, but I tend to check in the evenings. I'll have to log in to check in the morning.


Edit:

It's now Friday morning, about 8:40am EST. I logged in to check up on our friends. The redapples aren't on (which was the first time I've ever seen them not on), jerrys were in Ordelles, Toms were lvling around Vana'diel, and the Zooe's were scattered as well.

Now, I won't argue that the Zooe's don't sell gil. However, several people have gotten into this discussion and we don't remember them ever selling any high end NM drops. Plus, how many gil farmers do you know that have updated armor, buy light staves, have lvled subs and actually lvl advanced jobs other than dragoon (which seems to be popular)?

Now, don't slap me around for defending the Zooe's. I'll explain the main reason I do: there are what.. five or six Zooe's? I can easily name ten NAs that sell gil as well. They're in your linkshells, in your parties, buying your items that you have on auction. My second reason is simply because they're generally nice folk and in the sea of asshats, that's kinda refreshing.

Again, I don't condone the gil selling, gil farming, or anything of the like. But I've personally accepted it as simply part of the MMORPG world. However, ask me about the redapples (who are gil sellers, viscious at that, and absolutely hat this game) or the toms (whose first question to me was if I was a guy or a girl - some things never change) or even the jerrys, I'll yell and scream and be just as pissed off as the next person who has tried to camp kote for use and had to resort to buying.

They probly won't be invading Ifrit anytime soon seeing how everything aggros even to level 75. Botting won't work and sneak/invis mining plus the far proximity from town (kazam is the closest) will discouraged them. Gils sellers work for long term haul not efficientcy since time not skill is what they have. This is why bot parties can level 24/7 on DC and EM while Human parties can do the same in 2 hrs. They probly will stay in areas they have now as anything higher can't technically be WhOrEd up.

Not only you, but all of the Exo's out there. Exodias (myself), Exoduso, Exodia, Exodus.....my god we're multiplying and hording all of the gil. Mwahahaha.
