    I remember when 1.15 was the normal price. I want those days back.

    Scorpion Harness is down to 10m on Sylph after being up at 14-15m during Christmas and New Years. Damn, I should have sold it at the height and bought it back now for cheaper XD

    Certian prices are starting to go down on Cerberus, however I predict that there are certain very rare items that will maintain their very high price such as +1 items, Kraken Clubs and the like. IGE is completely sold out on cerberus and I really think that has something to do with it. Gilsellers are in remission, either that or the new ones haven't found a bot yet for Amemet. I dont think prices will go down to preinflation but I think they will find a comfortable and reasonable level at with to reside. We shall see^^

    It wasn't even that long ago, but thats ok Exxon/Mobil made the highest profits (pure profit, not sales) in one year than any other company in US history.

    gg Mobil/Exxon gfg


    EDIT: Buddy in Vent and I were talking about this and we checked IGE and saw this....

    I have never heard of Valefor running out of gil. Maybe SE is actually doing something, maybe everyone is on break, who knows...

    I think its because of Chinese New Year. People are buying gil so fast that IGE is running out since there is no one farming anything.

    There was once an Exxon station like 10 miles from my house that was selling gas at .99cents/gall when they first opened. Did that for like 1 month and then joined the $1.20 Prices like all the other competiton

    But that was like 8 years ago?

    Gas was .79 when I started driving, and I'm 27. Didn't go over a dollar until several years after I started.

    I think the most hypocritcal part (not that any of isnt..) is the don't monopolize. If 24/7 Camping a NM isnt monoplozing a NM then I don't know what is

    Everyone keeps talking about Chinese New Year, but gilsellers on Fenrir were only off for 12 hours, no more than that. They are still very much in full force.

    That's because not all gilsellers are Chinese. Just a bunch.

    Not on our server they're not, at least none I have ever met. Either that or they're from somewhere else but know how to swear in Chinese very well. Yes gilseller I take it in the backside and enjoy it, I'm glad I had someone translate what you said just to hear that.

    hahaha jesus. I remember when I bought my vermillion cloak for 1.5m when my white mage was leveling like 2 years ago, and the 1st NA with a scorpion harness saved up for weeks camping amemet before he finally bought it for 2m gil. Can't forget the 250k astral rings and the 500k serket ring..and silent oils for 2k a stack, when it went to 6k there was an outrage, lol.

    Hate to say it kids, but the basic mechanics of the ffxi economy means things are only going to continue to inflate. GG on that great design, se.

    i'd assume this might have something to do with it.

    message emailed to someone, and then posted on quetzalcoatl server forums:
