I approve. Thanks for actually doing something right for a change SE.

[Elesar]

Then why are you posting here, if not just to show us your fabulous avatar?

I think that avatar is pretty fabulous

As far as I'm concerned the game died a few years ago. And people are still clinging to it because they spent way too much time on their character.

true!
there's so many MMORPG with a job system and party oriented, I really can't make up my mind on what to play next.

At this point in the game does anyone really care if SE does anything. As far as I'm concerned the game died a few years ago. And people are still clinging to it because they spent way too much time on their character.

...Yeah pretty much. It's still nice when we do get a bone though. It makes us feel like we haven't been wasting our money on an inferior MMO...

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go cut myself.

Speak for yourself, after 5 years I still have a lot of fun playing ffxi, I will probably switch to ffxiv when its released if its good but Im not holding the account for the time ive spent on it, I really have fun playing even with the incoming "ffxideath/rapture/ffxiv apocalypse".

ZOMG! I DO NOT APPROVE OF HOW YOU ARE SPENDING YOUR FREE TIME! HOW DARE YOU PRACTICE FREE CHOICE! THIS IS AMERICA, DON'T YOU KNOW!

While these are both splendid ideals coming at this issue from the RMT side, I think if I were a new player, that these implemented "restrictions" would turn me off from the game---- unless I was told why. But, if I was told the game had a problem w/RMT it would also be a huge turnoff.

..I think, that these could definately be introduced but I think for now the 90day gardening restriction is perfect. It's a new adjustment to their trial system, and ultimatly a trial-an-error quickfix.. which I'm sure they're monitoring to see if it has any effect. My first 3 months I didn't even touch gardening or crafts, but I did send /tells, use the AH, Dbox NPC's, trades, and /sh. Granted that's me but, I think lots of others' might've started out the same way.

is there any reason a lvl 1 person that has no other account linked to it(a ls bank or something is always linked to a main account) that is 1-90 days old should have 20mil+ in gil? lol or be trade spamming other lvl 1 accounts? stuff like this should raise a red flag that something is wrong. I hold my linkshells bank(its on a 54 mule tho but still point holds up) i do not move more then 1-2mil a day and its sent to maybe a max of 5 players not 500.

to the person saying we are clinging. I play because i have fun and still have much to do in the game.
also people on PC still get RMT tells? lol i got that stuff filtered.

[Alathar]

It does inconvenience any legitimate players deciding to start a bunch garden mules for ele ores, etc., which is something I'm sure the established gardeners won't mind.

I'm not a gardener myself, but I think the one thing this would affect the least would be elemental ores. If you're limited to max 1 item/harvest, you can't get more than 1 ore from a single pot can you? The only thing you'd be limited on is when you fail to get an ore and can only get 1 of the secondary yields.

[Fridell]

Entitled to his opinion?
Oh wait what am I saying...

[darkscion0]

Still nice to see that SE finally got it right this time around.

Sorry, just trying to figure out how they got it right. I just started back to FFXI with a new account that's only 1 month old. So I don't get to garden on ANY of my characters, including my main, for another 2 months?

Umm...

[DAKPluto]

THAT'S NOT THE BEETLE FOOT

[Not Kuno]

Terrain issue? Like invisible walls? Theres tons of that shit all over the place in Tav and shit.

[Akucaen]

$20 says it was something completely insignificant and unnoticed. (Unlike Tav/Jeuno/other high traffic areas.)
