gil buyers good or bad?

Re: gil buyers good or bad?

you may say gil buyers are taking gil earned from gil sellers using non-cheating ways of getting it.
i beg to differ. my linkshell was in sky farming water (in our own little camp, not going outside the hallway/room area) when firelady et al shows up and takes 3-4 pots at a time to their camp, clear on the other side. we had i think 7-10 people or so... so instead of sticking to our skill-up on one pot, we got serious and actively pulled them (in our area) and sometimes away from their alliance. firelady's crew finally got too many pots that they could handle and wiped.
yesterday there was someone in my exp party from gil seller ls. i told the leader to replace me. another pt member had issues with that person also... and the gil seller (at least, in our minds, by being in that linkshell) ended up cussing me out and warping.
it may seem as if i am a snot where they are concerned~ but seriously... i dont know them personally, dont care to and their actions stink.

I never nor will I ever buy gil from someone. not only am I never going to I feel that if someone sells you something that has no real value then that person should be shot and the fool that buys it needs to be lobotomized..

It's the people that repeatedly buy gil (paycheck to paycheck) that really erks me, but if they really don't have any need for the money irl, they can waste it however they want. I remember an acquaintance of mine talking casually about how their friends in star wars galaxies made and sold accounts and currency, as if it were no big deal. I played SWG for about a day or two before the lag got to me, but didn't really have time to formulate an opion about their economy (all their "auction" type stuff caps at 20k).

Anyhow, what I find to be the problem are the people that repeatedly buy gil over and over, keeping the gilsellers in buisness. I'm sure that if out of curiosity someone bought a small denominator of gil one time, if those were the only types that bought gil, then the problem wouldn't be so rampent.

Well, that about raps up my opinion. One last thing, what happened when IGE ran out of buisness? How did they get back their accounts and get back on their feet? For about a week or two they were all gone, but they are all back in full force once again.

ITs sad to see Real Noob's getting their first action of this amazing MMORPG and not having enough gill to even buy robes at level 1. I tell them to go to the stores there way cheaper there, or I buy them the equip's. But its sad when now a-days you cant believe them when they say they new to ffxi and asura. I laugh at my crystals being bought at stack prices, who knows maybe they messed up and though they bought a stacks worth, but I say They deserved it for being so rich.
