New RMT exploit or gimmick?

[Zorax]

You know what it means.

Spoiler: show

He meant to say "fluke", as in that it was an error to trade with you, or perhaps the part of a whale.

Aha. You can guess what I thought he meant.

lulz 100k a week max (with 50 mules) .. lame

[6souls]

been like this on Midgard for a little over a month. They use a team of taru's and a team of humes. you can watch for their patterns;

- All run up to npc
- Create a "chain" to the npc
- Sit in a circle in front of the MH
- A combo of 2nd & 3rd

I've never seen them run as far as the AH. As far as profitable? SE is just giving away these accounts, cost is no issue.

[Titanss]

Maybe they have enough to rotate to make 100k a day but the account fees would be crazy there has to be something else going on.

It meant what you thought it meant, the "whales" bit in my reply should have tipped you off.

[Titanss]

What accounts are they giving away? I missed it.

[Stubwub]

They are gardening, probably wildgrass seeds. Water Crystals and greens are a result of those seeds. I get them all the time going for Tokipeko or w/e it's called.

Edit: If they gave you Garidav Grass then I am 100% sure they are simple gardening mules. Garidav and Tokipeko sell for like 400G a pop.

14-day free trials.

[shaddix]

I pray they all get banned tomorrow.

[Stubwub]

IF RMT are abusing the wildgrass seed gil making I hope SE doesn't nerf it. That's my last source of income. Losing bloods was hard enough.

[Casey_]

I saw these guys on ragnarok, I managed to get an Onion sword from one of them >_>

[Snprphnx]

gardening of some sort. my game name, Snprphnx, gets looked at like I'm RMT. Was on a lvl 1 job right outside MH and had an RMT trade me 10 brass pots, like i was in his crew, lol.

btw, i'm not rmt, even though my name/gear may imply as much

[el_tio]

Fuke, I doubt it will be very long before this gets nerfed. Wildgrass seeds + water crystal is what I use too. >.> Haven't done it so much recently, but 30k in NPC-able greens per mule per week is about average, each pot can net up to 4k sometimes. Meh, whatever.

Btw nice how one clueless person goes "2k per mule per week in npc-ables gardening!" and everyone thinks this is accurate and repeats it.

[Amok]

I can't believe they didn't write a tool to do this and they're doing all the trading and gardening manually. It's almost... admirable.

[Mazmaz]

in b4 spanish acquisition.

[Cesaria]

Yup here comes the nerf... I won't be happy about this one because SE need to wake the fuck up and realize that what legit players do for gil... surprisingly RMT do as well - and sort the problem OUT rather than just shafting the legit players along with it. But nup - SE would rather throw the baby out with the bathwater if previous form is anything to go by.

[rlas549]

Just delete Bastok from the game and there will be no place for them to hide!

Not just RMT are the problem - the fact that it brings more money into economy causing inflation (Xmas '05 anyone?) is an issue too. If just few people do it, then no problem.. but if masses start using it to make gil (now that we have a thread about it it's very likely..) then a nerf is needed, with or without RMT's presence.

goddamnit

[Septimus]

I am not sure if it is just gardening. I was watching them about a month ago, they seemed to go in a pattern where one would run to the NPC that sells gear, then run the the NPC that lets you go to someone else's mog house, then another would run to the NPC that sells gear, then would run to the NPC that lets you go into someone else's mog house. It would then repeat with the first guy

I fmy conjecture was that they discovered a way to dup items in someone eles's mog house.
