And then nerfed choco digging, a major source of rmt income.

Of course, as it stands the RMT'ers are doing the same lolzergtaru thing again, it's as obvious as a zit on the Mona Lisa's nose, and S-E's just going to banstick the holding accounts again (this time I'm betting sometime in November/late Oct) with a side helping of banstick the RMT accounts once they get high enough to start trying stupid hack tricks on big stuff. Ni hao, thanks for the dollars and fuck you all very much.

How many times do you figure it'll take them to notice S-E figured out killing their money supply is effectively kicking them in the nuts?

Aww, that's so cute.

SE, why do you hate beasts so much ;; All you do is give us more charm gear, then situational charm gear. I'm sorry SE but we just don't need anymore charm gear. Please give us some nice melee gear that also enhances our pets abilities such as +pet acc +pet def +pet eva +pet attack.

Beast is a powerful job, but only in a small collection of zones, reduced in size by the "MPK" patch. Beast is a lot weaker in other zones, your new merit abilities haven't changed that. Killer Instinct is a joke with a total lack of level 75 affordable jugs of all pet types. Feral howl has a 10-15min cool down time and only lasts 1-3 seconds IF it even lands... Beast Healer... wtf my pet takes 100-300dmg a hit, how does 1 extra hp/tic help me? Beast affinity is nice but it doesn't bring up any other jugs to useable level...

In prior ffxi games BSTs/Tamers usually capture a pet and use it later to do some cool mass damage move, or at least entertaining one :D, in ffxi when a BST engages in a battle with a party he or she pops out a Crab that misses 40% of the time and does bubble curtain...

Can we ask if there are any intentions to overhaul or adjust the crafting system in the future? Most markets are dead markets with oversupply, little demand, and small profits.

For the masses this can be a problem. While I have multiple crafts lvl'd, I see these troubles across every guild, and while I don't hurt as much as most, it's still an issue usually never discussed towards SE.

Was always wondering why the economy's recessing. Any clues on what's contributing to all the price falls? Here's a good example: Weskit on bahamut's a whopping 700~900K atm.. jeez

You buy the weskit for 440k gil.

And I'm suffering from buyer's remorse, wondering if I could have held out for a little longer and gotten one for 300k ^_^

Sadly... the ISNM Phantom Puk BC we did the other day yielded some really nice drops, but with D. Talons sitting at 300k, Behe. Horn's at 300k, and many of the other money drops from that ISNM sitting at the same price... it's not quite worthwhile anymore.

I would also like a MNK jse finnaly added -.-;

yes please, and i don't even have mnk leveled yet

MNK have JSE, it is called "Black Belt". Be glad that you have one job specific item that is more useful than the entire set of RDM JSE combined.

Seriously, how many JSE sets are actually as useful as a Black Belt is?

i like to pretend black belt doesnt exist. why? because in all likelyhood i will never own one. i would just like a mildly useful jse set that can bridge the gap between AF and god/shura gear,as well as cause the cost of SH to plummet even more!!! i assume the pahluwan body is the reason SH has dropped from 5-3mil since toau came out. i would kill for a set that does nothing but boost kick attacks rate.

Why do you say that? Our ls gets a good share of kings, and we've probably provided like 5-6 full BB's for people we don't even know, or aren't in HNM ls's just because they asked. Not all LS's are jack-holes and give items some of their members will never use. But then again, on the other side of the coin, now we've provided a few real Noobs the best item in the game, which makes some other really good monks in good LS's cringe.
