[Neon_Sea]

(Ignoring all the bs you have to do to even be in a position to catch one)
->Chance of catching required small fish
->Chance of it being HQ
->Chance of mooching the correct fish
->Chance that is doesn't get away
->Chance of success for desynthing your catch, finally right!?
->nope, fuck you. Chance to get your item, which is ASS.

Thats 6 stacks of the un-leechable RNG debuff.

[Sigmakan]

You forgot Chance its 'Heat Wave'

(fortunately its fairly common)

[Evane]

What the fuck is wrong with people? Why are they in rush to sell shit? 100K undercut in 1:30 hrs. This shit is insane...

We need FFXI's auction house blind bidding system to stop those fuckers.

Then you're stuck selling items in set stack sizes.

[Edelweiss]

Then you're stuck selling items in set stack sizes.

Guess we'll make due then, like we always did?

[Evane]

1, 10 and 99? Sure.

[Korialstrasz]

Blame the fact that the retainer system is still retarded years after they realized it was retarded, that there's no listing fees, and that we can't list a stack of something while giving the buyer the ability to only buy part of the stack. List 99 of something, then someone can buy 7 of it, 5 of it, 30 of it etc.

[Niiro]

Wow, and I thought the private room thing was retarded, at least that cost 300k.

Thx FC changed a rank for a special number do that he cannot stable hie chocobo

[Thesuspect]

If you edit their rank and settings while the choco is stabled could you potentially lock it inside?

[Sigmakan]

1% Wipe on T9.

[hagun]

If a WHM is going to put med 2 or regen on me before a pull I leave it on. I often feel that learning from ones mistakes will eventually make people better players. So if they die because everything goes charging over to them as soon as I use shield lob or tomahawk then that isn't my problem one bit, and if it causes a wipe then its time to take a drink of tequila, it's not circus tower without alcohol.

Inferior and counter-intuitive game coding/design rampant in this game.

[BerenTebogo]

In what world is it counterintuitive?

It's a heal over time ticking before the tank gets any hate. That generates enmity. It makes perfect sense.

[TheDirtyHobo]

In the world of people who have only previously played 11 as their main MMO and learned that regen is a static amount of hate no matter how much it heals for that's all put on at the moment of cast, not accrued slowly each tick.

aka "It's different, therefore it's worse" syndrome.

[Eldelphia]

If you edit their rank and settings while the choco is stabled could you potentially lock it inside?

I think so, I demoted them and made it so they can't do much but when you take away their privileges it doesn't boot their boco.

[Nitsuki]

Something as simple as listing fees+fee for every time you change your price will help this economy stay stable.

[TheDirtyHobo]

Sure, there are occasional synths that inexplicably sell for a loss, even as HQ, but I wouldn't say the economy is unstable. It's the most rudimentary supply and demand stuff, if something has high profit margins and little/no barrier to entry on obtaining, i.e. spiritbonding crafting gear for t3/4 materias, then the supply is going to skyrocket with no real increase in demand at that price point, the price is going to come down. And even then, what is there to even spend large sums of gil on in this game? Pretty much just crit/det Novus and housing. I don't know what prices are like on other servers, but here a round of spiritbonding craft gear will get you, on average, enough for about 1 det or 1.5 crit t4s, so you're looking at ~16 30min spiritbond runs without breaks. Add in a few breaks and the cost of t1-3, and I'll generously say 12 hours of bonding, which is practically nothing in the grand scheme of working towards a Novus.

Most complaints about undercutting boil down to either "I'm not making as much money as I wish I was" or "stupid undercutters don't have the patience to wait for it to sell, but neither do I so I undercut them back, that'll sure show 'em."

[Eeeks]

After XI's 7 slot AH restriction, I love having 30 slots. Unsold items are never sent back to me via mail, and I can turn a profit on damn near anything I make (aside from the obvious mats that NPCs sell for a few gil each).

On topic: I really, really want weather NPCs cause fuck Heat Wave weather. If not for static zone design, my mere presence would've turned the Sagolii Desert into a lush grassland weeks ago.
