Salvage Bans v 2.0

[dasva]

They'd have to be able to prove how much gil you made from where, and if all the mythics you have were made from salvage 2.0 or other means.

Would they really though? I got perma'd for rmting without any proof since it didn't happen. Plus the character never really made all that much.

Plus they could just do some easy math take how much alex they made doing this see how many mythics that makes and kill however many that is you made during the time and then do a quick search of average price for anything left over

rolling back also only hurts players who do not RMT. anyone who RMT'd the alexandrite/gil they earned from it would if anything be rewarded, a roll back is silly imo. just let it die

they dont need to proof anything, if they wanted they could delete every character data at will. players dont own the chars, the chars are digital property of SE according to ToS

[Altnob]

So in regards to Salvage II 'bans' it seems like only RMT got perma ban. Just for poops and giggles I asked how much 30k alexandrite was to see if they were overstocked and got this reply.

$700 to finish a mythic? I totally would have done that, lol

[JSHidaka]

From a time/value thing, its definitely worth it. Presuming it takes 30 minutes to get from the start of Arra to killing HQ khim (and killing NQ Khim, but skipping ramparts and NM's...and no POS hacking to get straight to teleporters either, I'm looking at you 3f) and you get an average of 75 alex per run, thats 400 runs, at 30 minutes per run, makes it 200 hours.

Converting the 700$ down to 200 hours of work is the equivalent of 3.5$/hr.

[Fwahm]

That's a pretty low ball estimate, though. I do NQ and HQ Khim, all triple gears, ramparts, and chariots too in 30 minutes, for an average of about 125. Still not great in terms of dollars/hour, but I certainly would prefer to do salvage over working extra, since I can do stuff like watch youtube videos at the same time.

and thus why the emergence of in game cash shops has become so popular, people with money realizing doing tedious things over and over sucks and opt not to

This is also how you kill your install base if you ever allow for something like this.

If anything add something like..
2x Alexandrite ticket, lasts 14 days -- applies to all cotton & linen purses that the player finds
--but would probably have some epic bug where any linen or cotton they open would have the same result because spaghetti.

Psh the spaghetti would not stoop to something so simple. Instead of doubling the alex it would just reroll another opening which effectively doubles it. Then if you had at least 60k conquest points with signet on any kind of pouch you opened would end have a second roll of alex

for posterity

So many ppl saying how the game would be dead now, and not last another year, because the "best players" we gone now.

I'm sorry, are you saying the game isn't dead now?

Of course not, what's wrong with you? FFXI is as lively as ever!

I heard Quetzalcotl is pretty fucking dead though, from some poor fool who went back there.

[hey]

Oh, wonder if i got banned for this. Haven't played in a while, but funded 5 relics in a month from this. It was pretty cool.

Bismarck is doing decently well. And I was referring more to the 2009 elitist mentality that without them, the game couldn't go on.

[Sho]

Well now you've gone and done summoned him.

dis nigga Sho...

My bad mang.

My bad.

The sequel is never as good as the original.

Exposed for never watching TMNT 2.

that's pretty much an exact example of something that would be in a cash shop so im confused by what ur saying

[NynJa]

Only problem is someone would stockpile linens on another character, buy a 1 day ticket, then trade over all the linens.

[JSHidaka]

well... double cotton/linen drop..
