Emergency Maintence 12/9/06

[Senoska]

What do you mean, hundreds of scrolls almost exactly at once? The one you linked to on pandy has sold barely 2 million gil over the course of 5 days, there is a hard cap as to the number of people who NEED these spells.

There is better money in almost everything else. 2million every 5 days per server for the ENTIRETY of the RMT company is again, not really worth immediate emergency maintenance. It doesnt really matter if the RMT get 100, 1000, or 10000000 scrolls of aspir, they are still only going to sell 5-10 a week.

A doupe would be tho.. It would take one charater. Its appernt they are doing it so theres no reason fighting that its happaning no matter how much money they make. How ever this is prob here like someone said to fix the BRD song glitch :\

[HAcoreRD]

well, Delekii, this is so SE can say "Hey, you wanted us to deal with RMT, so we did."

[tornfleshofsoul]

We've gotten 2 Faf's and a Nidhogg this week I believe, I'm surprised it took them this long to take him out of our time :/

Why is that apparent? Go and start a mule in windurst when bastok is ranked first so you can buy cornettes, and see how long it takes you to get aspir. Then realise that these people play the game for hours and hours at a time JUST earning money, and youll see that multiple scrolls in a day is very easy to get, for a legitimate player. It also makes sense that they are sold from the same character.

I got Frost Breath 5 minutes before maintence. If I log on and it's not there I'll bust a nut. Bed time for me ^^

Exactly. Unless there's something else going on with the ability to obtain scrolls, if they're creating/deleting and questing the scrolls over and over, who fuckin' cares. There's been guides out for years that detail the shortest methods of doing this for the sole purpose of earning gil. People have done it in the past, RMT doing it now isn't a big enough concern to bring down every server for maintenance. If they want to spend hours and hours getting fame and questing scrolls to sell a couple a day, fine... they can knock themselves out.

Edited to add:
Here's one of Ifrit's scroll sellers:

There is definitely orchestration by RMT across all servers to flood the AH with scrolls, that's for sure.

Day 5 fafnir and aspid on fairy at decent camp times oof:

[Medivac]

When they don't post -any- details at all, I always get the feeling I'm in for the greatest or worst surprise imaginable.

it would read somthing like

"an intern tripped over a cord and the server reset itself, we have to fix this" haha

[Khamsin]

Wonder why they don't create/delete mules to quest the Teleport-Holla and Dem scrolls, too. Or is Mea the easiest to get fame for and complete repeatedly on new accounts?

[Delekii]

Im assuming its because mea uses windy fame, while holla/dem dont? Cornettes is the easiest fame method of any country, and combines with aspir so.. i guess thats why.

[Dark Vincent]

Maybe SE is fonally realizing a normal person doesn't sell 2-3 scrolls of the same type a day.

Actually they do. I know quite a few people who made their starting gil that way (me included, lulz). I only stopped because it was boring and Bastok almost never reaches 2nd place+ in Conquest (need it for Cornettes). And no it's not a "bug". Just make a mule in windy, send cornettes to it, get fame, do the quest, get Aspir, send it to your main, delete mule, remake. People are just dumb for buying scrolls that are so easily quested. This is as much of a cheat as buying scrolls at the NPC and reselling at AH for 10k more or so.

Hai2u selbina quest

Agreed, except that the selbina quest is in.. well.. selbina.

It may not be a glitch but the sign of a new wave of RMT levelers. They just got a bunch deleted so they need more characters. Each server gets a large influx of lvl 1 RMT'ers trying to get 75 so with these new chars they quickly do easy, profitable quests. Hence the scroll quests. I'm betting it isn't a glitch that lets you repeat it but instead a ton of new RMT'ers questing it before XPing to 75 and sending the scrolls to a main seller. Hard to find out but I bet this doesn't happen continuously, only when they get five across eyes with the ban stick.

This was arguably the best money making method for those who weren't hardcore crafters or participated in end game. Back when I started doing it (almost 2 years ago, Aspir was about 200k+). 45 minutes + 200kx14 times a week (it was rare, because Bastok sucked balls back then and was always third) = a shitload of money for someone in their mid 50's.

Got extremely boring, not even sure how these RMT manage to get the Tele scrolls also. Wasn't really an exploit, as it was obvious as day, just took some effort.

[Medivac]

its going to be a bad day when rmt's relize that they could make more if they put there gils into crafting and selling HQ's then remaking mules to do scroll and camping uli 24/7

p.s. arent they in sea in bahumut all ready?

[Toth]

Arghhhhhh Why didn't I have hear about this ><

[Lordender]

AV fix imo j/k
