I have been playing this game for a while now. And I have learned to get anywhere you need the support of others for many of the quests. This is a community oriented game. Now most of us post how bad the gil sellers are, how they are ruining the game or gaming experience.
Well there seems to be a new problem. Greed. It seems as more time goes by, there are more people demanding the best equipment available, are are willing to do anything to get it.
Last night I was helping a friend try to get his coffer in castle O. (cant spell it). But of course there are so many thfs running around popping coffers. I understand this but twice last night as my friend was about to pop the coffer a thf ran past and popped it and ran off. I sent a tell explaining that we just needed to get his af then we be off. Of course his response was i dont care, I want my scorpion harness. Now the main point of the coffers are tied to our af, and alternatively to get money. So coffer spawns again, and the same thf ran buy him a gain and popped it and ran off.
Now I am sure some of you have no problem with this, and to you I say go play a single player game.
If I was in the situation i would let the person get the coffer for the af. Its polite, its right.
Another incident, we were helping someone get g1 paper, I spot the skull of wraith nm, my freind and I grab him and kill him cause we needed axe for bst. We were the only really high lvls there. We get the axe and lot on it. The rest of the ls passes so we can have. Then a new member helping out lots on it wins it and says he needs for bst. Of course we not happy since we killed it. He immediatly goes to ah and sells it for 95k. I kicked him out of ls.
These are just two storys out of many. This game is about helping people, we need the help to do missions and other quests.
Please, be willing to help your fellow players instead of stealing, lieing and being just plain greedy.
I know, if I ever see these two people shouting for help I will do everything I can to make sure they wont get it until they learn the lesson, if you want help be prepared to give it.
Sorry for the rant, but to me this is the number one problem with this game right now. Everything evolves around greed. That is why prices are so high not gil sellers. They are easily defeated. If we stop wanting the best equipment at all costs and are willing to sacrifice sometimes the gil sellers will have to lower prices.
If everyone stopped buying archers for only a month, they will have to lower the prices.
