lol@people saying "it's all proportional"

Back in the day when I was a DRG, I wanted snipers. This caused me to farm 500k worth of cockatrice meat at 20k a stack. Cockatrice meat is now 12k~ a stack (ok, so they gimped kabobs...but thats not it).

After they gimped kabobs I switched over to farming spiders. At that time webs were going for a nice 12-15k (depending on how many were listed). This was when haub was 2,100,000. Todays economy, spider webs are 15k-20k each while haub is 8m or so. Spider webs raise 0%-30% (or whatever, something around there) haub raises 400%.

This trend is seen with every single item people farm for gil. Tree cuttings have gone up a big bad 60k per stack, ochidos kote have gone up from 500k->5m.

You can't even use the argument that "NM drops have gone up blahblahblah" because most, if not all NMs/HNMs are raped by gilsellers now.

Atleast, that's how it is on bahamut. Borderline impossible to level a second or third job which doesn't recycle gear unless you RMT or get a lucky BC drop.

I think you hit the nail on the head perfectly. RMT only speeds up the economy, but it doesnt inflate the low end. If people still farmed to buy items, everything would rise at the same time. I remember countless hours farming tiger fangs to buy a glunty sword <sp>. It took me a few weeks to be able to level and farm up the money. But if the items we farm do not increase in value, and the high end items do, than either peopel are doing a lot BCNMs or garrisons or people are RMTing.

i RMTED a 60 million gil! my parents bought it for me!! i have the best equipment just like everyone else, and i still have like 10 million gil! lool i'm the best player there is. my parents don't mind paying 350 dollars for online currency and all of the thousands of accused RMTers who have items worth millions and millions of gil are the EXACT same.

i am you guys and i have down syndrome.

The reason I posted this? I was thinking about coming back due to friends contantly bugging me but after seeing this there would be no possible way I could do that.

When I talk to my friend and he says Snipers are 4 mill and O. Kote is 8.5 mill it made my decision of coming back very easy.

Anyway what the fuck happened to you lol, my number is still the same pick up the damn phone you lazy bastard.

Told you not to give your stuff up so quickly, but you went ahead and did it anyway. I hope these so called "friends" that wanted you to come back are the same people you bought things for, and if so, they should be more than happy to return them so you could start over with decent gears. Then again, of all the people that ever did anything for you, I seemed to be the only one that didn't strip your character worth of anything. Speaking of which, you didn't try to access my account ~2 months ago did you? I had some gil taken from me, but I ruled you out since you quit, now you said you had intentions to return...not that I'm accusing you or anything, but I wanted to make sure.

As for calling, you stopped all of a sudden with no words or anything. I didn't know what it meant, but it seemed like a hint that you moved on to better things, so I left you alone. If you ever want to reconnect, my number never changed.

This was when haub was 2,100,000. Todays economy, spider webs are 15k-20k each while haub is 8m or so. Spider webs raise 0%-30% (or whatever, something around there) haub raises 400%.

Shihei are 200-300% of when I started leveling NIN (I leveled it slowly), sushi is 200-300%, scorpion harness is 200-300%. Everything is going up. Spider webs went from 5-6k on Gilgamesh to now around 12-15k, so 200-300% as well.

For spider webs, I don't know about you, but I leveled my NPC on spiders (and seemingly so did a lot of other people) and so supply of them shot up quite a bit for a while.
