    True, but you can't get to that lax fight if there's a group there claiming to sell the drop

    yea but if you're stopping ppl who can kill it via cockblocking[ie no buyer and say buy or falls to floor, or you just toss it] you're grieving which is bannable, I'd advise againist this unless you get buyer ahead of time.

    If you can afford the couple million initial investment, believe it or not chocobo digging still makes a decent penny. It really helps if you have a digging bird too.

    I generally make 40~50K a day doing the altep hot and cold, drops from it are on average worth 20K, though you do get the occasional junk item, but on the flipside the occasional item worth a whole lot more.

    Digging at rank 5 I can pull up a stack of coral fragments every couple days, piles of wyvern scales, and in other areas many many logs that npc for a couple K each.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it wouldnt drop at all if everyone in the pt already had it?

    it wont, but killing it to clockblock purely because they won't buy, is still grieving tactics afaik.

    Make it casual, "Anyone wanna buy Joyeuse by chance?". No offers? Kill and pretend you're excited.

    the problem with certain people and grief tactics are that they aren't discreet about it. "hurr hurr let's cfh/kill so they can't have it!"

    If no one will buy, you could just give it away to a shell member or mule and drop it later.

    This. Talk about enjoying the fight in /p(do your bitching and moaning on vent and msn if you must), if confronted by competition that won't pay, say they didn't do anything to deserve drops from your fight. Everything is in how a GM percieves it, as long as you don't say anything to imply you're only killing it to possibly sell, you won't get in any trouble. I sold tons of these myself <_< gave away quite a few, hell one went to a 30 brd I knew at the time because she was exping in yuhtunga and nobody wanted to buy it.. but still had to toss plenty and didn't have any problems.

    The logs are not safe. Beware what you write down.

    How to douche someone out of their Joyeuse by random BGthugs.

    I don't understand how so many socially depraved people ended up in one game. And who touched them inappropriately as children to make them all fail at civility so, so hard.

    Sound about right?

    I solo avatars for my gil. I can get a decent 20k to 40k in a few hours time easy. And the best part is that I don't have to deal with stupid drop rates or idiot fellow players! :D

    Yes. That's exactly why I'm bitter. Because I don't have a Joyeuse and that other thing you said. My turn.

    I think that's dead on for 75% of endgamers and 90% of BG regulars.

    You're the one who came in here whining, people suggested it as a way to make gil(and it is, a rather lucrative one at that). It's not a bunch of ways to dick people out of joyeuses(they can claim themselves and kill themselves if they want it, it's no different than other competition really).. it's a way to make gil.

    It's call self-selection bias. The only people who play FFXI are socially depraved people. Yep.

    When I first clicked on this thread, I thought his other quote was something Thorny has actually said (Really does sound like a jk you would make).
