Assholes everywhere. Leave me the hell alone and stop abusing capitalism.

no one is abusing capitalism... this is exactly what pure capitalism is. Artificialy lowering prices (when there are people willing to pay more, even if you aren't among them) would be something else. Theres a limited number of silk in circulation, there are people willing to pay 5 million for it. You aren't willing to pay as much as them. Why should i sell it to you instead of them again? I can't quite see the incentive you are offering.

STFU please.

Do you even like this game?

Keep in mind that no one has yet to help me with my WHM AF, so I am 67 without AF.
/sigh
I can't even get THAT. =D

67 without AF?! That's terrible! Your LS mates won't help you out, or are you like on the top of the hill? How'd you do your rank missions and level caps? Surely there must be someone to help. Hell, as a 67th level WHM you could probably just shout in Jeuno and offer a 10-level PL in exhange for assistance, dontcha think?

[If you don't have it by next week using the last listed method, then I'll buy you a worldpass and you can get out of whatever backwoods hellhole server you've gotten yourself into]

FFXI isn't just a game. It's a microcosm of the real world. Would you guys really think for more than a second that if certain people could make millions off of thing, they wouldn't screw over everyone and anyone in their way to make it? They would. Not everyone would, but there are a lot of people who would. It happens today in corporate settings everywhere. People lose jobs and lively-hoods so people can line their pockets.

FFXI is a game. But the way we play together makes it more than a game. Not only do we play for fun, but we also project our hopes, wishes, emotions, etc. onto our character.

this is even more of a reaons for him to shut up -.- yeah FFXI is a game, but also its more then a game some of the time because there are other people behind the charaters..... but really the things that this jerk does is not acepted and then he comes here a starts a bitch fest. I wont feel pitty for him or will I cheer him on, he is nothign to me, just because of the way he acts.

The only post where I can reasonably associate with Bitter Wisp's frustration.

I've never had a price that high to save up for before, but I can understand the irritation. You've basically been put at the mercy of people's desire for money.

On the other hand, as usual, it could have been vented differently.

Hope it goes down soon though. I'd say wait it out if you don't want to farm it or whatever (not that you have a choice).

Re: Would people still pay 6 million for that silk if i shoved it up your ass?

OP doesn't understand supply and demand... have you not paid attention to how prices behaved around the release of every expansion and every patch that introduced new items? They always come out ridiculously expensive, drop ~50-80% in the first couple months, and then usually drop some more in the next 6. Some eventually stabilize at a significant price (uragnite shells, buffalo meat) and some eventually become basically worthless (bugard skin).

In case you haven't figured it out already, the high price results from the fact that there are a lot more people that *want* silk (demand) than that want to *farm* silk (supply). So if you could wave a magic wand and make the people who have it sell it for only 100k... there still wouldn't be enough to go around. And even fewer people would want to farm it because the reward is that much lower.

Of course, if you don't want to buy it, you could just farm it yourself... what? Too lazy? You want someone else to work for it and then hand you the results of their work? Gee, how will I ever manage to contain my sympathy for you? If you're not willing to farm your own even to save you 6 million, how can you demand that someone else farm it for you for less?

Bitter wasp needs to take an anger management course and STOP playing this game.

Just stop playing, the community would be better off with one less whining person on the game.

or.....stop creating pointless diatribes on such trivial matters and actually enjoy the game. Ever think about that?

Either go with it, or choose another job to play. Your senseless whining isn't going to change the economy.

(I would also suggest you take economics in college. You'll understand the concepts of supply and demand a lot more)

I think some people are taking the [GM]Dave-style rants a bit too far.

that and this guy needs to learn that MPking does not slove everything -.-

I mean he has this BS in his sig, like a trophy, but really it just shows how much he really does not care for this game.....

MPKing just pisses people off. I wouldn't MPK (intentionally, anyhow).
Hell, speaking of that, I wonder how he has evaded Mordion's Gaol, if he even has? The system does forbid MPK.

Oh, he hasn't. I know he has been perma-banned from FFXI at least 2 times for MPK and Hacking, etc., and banned from Allakhazam at least 3(do you know what it takes to get a ban there? It's nearly impossible!)
