Same on Asura.

The problem is nothing can be done because they're really doing nothing wrong yet. Wait about 2 months when they manaburn dynamis and sell shadow rings/mantles because they wont let people enter the zone.

Thats something I can really see taking place.

But it makes no logical sense to me why they interrupt players. As far as theyre concerned, the players are there "customer/clients," them dominating sky/hnm kings and soon to be dynamis leaves nothing for the typical end game player to do, which means theyll quit, and they lose their "clients." I dunno, just my thoughts.

They interrupt players to hold a monopoly.

Players of all levels buy gil, so it's not like monopolizing endgame zones kills their entire clientele.

Additionally, at least on Asura they sell the rare/ex drops for a hefty sum.

If the only way to get god drops is through the gil sellers, sooner or later people will start to pay for them. If your LS has to spend a week in Ulli's Aery to get 1 Autumnstone, the more frustrated players might well be tempted to just go buy Haidate and save themselves the time and the headache.

If enough people start doing it, it both sets a precedent that people are willing and that monopolizing rare/ex works.

Greed's a powerful driving force, and the gil sellers are learning every trick in the book to exploit it.

A parasite doesn't care if it kills the host.

If FFXI dies they'll just take their operations to another game coughWOWcough.

I think that if they checkmate all these people, they'll just buy the gil because they can't get the money any other way. Or in the case of Asura, they'll sell the Haidates and Osodes to these people for 20m each just making it a vicious cycle.

20million osodes?

I'll take 6 please LOL

what server has Osodes for 20 million? Won't find them for less than 75 million on my server.

Osode is easy to find on Asura for ~30 mil, mainly because our Gil Sellers have been pumping them out 24/7 since last September or so.
