I only know a little Japanese and can only read the first part but I can confirm that they are indeed selling it. "Selling Joytoy. Price by tell."

[Not Kuno]

Don't call a GM, file a special task force report. GMs don't do shit. AFAIK you can get in trouble for monopolization.

[Furionstormrage]

I've sold 4, but only to people that contacted me specifically to have it sold to them, nice quick way to make some gil.

But I've noticed, sometimes there's 20+ people there, sometimes (on Cerberus) it's empty, just wait until they find another way to make money. If people won't buy it, they'll stop killing it.

You should probably file a Task Force report as noted above though, if it's really as bad as you're saying.

selling joyuse plz send tell for price
selling evoker orbs for 500k each

[Raen Ryong]

I indirectly asked a friend to do a rough translation of it, and the response was thus;

speed boots buy. TELL please.
Camper for hire-anything above level 50 monster.
2hit sword for sale. please TELL thank you

So yeah :/ definitely selling. Pointed out the search comment to a GM today and they responded saying they'd carry out an immediate investigation, whether that holds any weight or not...

I may just take your advice and report them to the STF. Part of me doesn't want too severe a penalty to be inflicted for something that they may consider a legitimate source of income, but if it's the only way to get rid of them ...

The translations are so similar it's eerie.

[gandorf]

I will have a jp friend talk to them maybe they will listen to reason and back down for a few days. If that doesn't work see if they will sell joytoy for 100k or so.

[Hashmalum]

For what little it's worth, I'd vouch for onigami's translation, and the other one isn't just wrong, but a "WTF were they smoking?" kind of wrong.

[The Stig]

Vouching for Onigami's translation too. I don't see "レベル" in the text, which will tell me it says level (or "lv." for that matter, but one or the other).

Fuck it, and them. If they're killing and dropping swords to prevent other people from getting them, they deserve a 1 week vacation from the STF.

On the jap seacom I see 50, not 500, seeing as the numbers are noticeable to someone who can't read Japanese

The kanji following the 50 means "ten thousand".

Ahhh I see, like I said I can't read it ;x

[Tomk]

Get as many people as you can there and fill the place. Send them a tell saying everyone is with you and you only need one drop. You can get the drop and leave quickly or fight them for every claim for the next three weeks.

[Raen Ryong]

Looks like I'll have to do that in the end; turn it into Chary's Aery <_<; it just sucks that it has to come to this and I have to call in so many favours just because some greedy obsessive jps feel like being assholes.

Hopefully they just disappear on their own or get bored but I'm not holding my breath.

[Aksannyi]

Man, that just sucks. I haven't gone down there in quite a while ... I always always always lose that lot, no matter how many times I'm there. I'm ready to bring people with me who don't need the damn thing anymore and just get it done with. But having to compete over Charby like it's Faf? Fuuuuuuuck that.

[yrpaine]

lol camping charby like faf, reminds me of 2004.

But ya, task force. I thought advertising sale of rare/ex like that was against TOS now.

[Callisto]

If you have the gil just toss them the 500k and be done with it, you could easily make that much in the time you're wasting competing with them.

Add: I know it's a principles issue, but FFXI is a timesink enough and there's a lot more fun shit you could be doing with your time.

[Tenbroya]

Don't get too disheartened please Raen...

I will need you to help me get mine XD
