I think the point being made is that you cant just make a blanket statement and call all RMT Chinese. The suppliers for gil come from literally any avenue, but I will agree that most of the vendors (professionals) are indeed Chinese.
Someone in LS bought a Ranperre Goldpiece for 8m today. Fuck knows how the guy mispriced it though as it was listed at 80m on AH.com via GW only a few hours earlier. He managed to get it instantly converted to 100's too as someone was shouting for a bronze loan.
Was like a race in LS to the guy selling since the person who found it didn't have enough gil. Typically it was the only day I go somewhere without a warp scroll lol (and my HP was the same zone the guy was in)
He's such a lucky bastard. He got Hachiryu Pants for like 1m back in the days they were 20m+ too
Most luck I ever had was getting an Assault Breastplate for 10k when they were still worth a bit of money. Need to go find someone drunk enough to put a goldpiece in their bazaar for less than 999,999,999
With today's prices you could actually sell the 10k pieces legit in a bazaar
I don't know you would want to wait that long before selling your currency though
Yeah, no idea why he would wait that long either.
He's one of those guys who buys everything in bazaars/shouts to buy stuff and then bazaars it for more so it's just massively backfired on him.
Not as awesome as cheap mispriced currency, but
Nice surprise for my mule.
What a strange amount to bid.....
"I'm quitting and I'm like SO rich, I'm gonna dump all my glorious gil on some poor sap by throwing everything I have on a single water crystal!" ?
Yup he was, He also used to come MNK/WHM to PT's telling everyone Chi Blast outdamaged everything
Not an error apparently, but a deal nonetheless:
Spoiler: show
I've done that sort of thing before, but I've been picked on for my ability to throw away gil on many an occasion.
Of course, the time I actually do mess up, I get the money back without even bothering to ask (recently paid a stack price for a single red curry bun, person contacted me and told me the were sending the difference back to me; had no clue what they were saying at first either, was Japanese).
Not as good as Yugl's deal, but still good:
Hah, I just found P tatters for 20k yesterday as well, was rather amusing. The guy had a bunch of other slightly overpriced things, so I guess he was planning to sell them at 200k?lol
Not super fantastic, but my brother just came back to the game and is already screwing the system.
My luck lately....
I fucking hate you.
