Bonanza Marble Sales to End Soon! (06/03/2010)

[shadymdub]

I see no logic in living with inventory-10 on my main for a month instead of for a few weeks D:

^ this

[Selamis]

Actually logged in to the game for the first time in a month, maybe month and a half to buy my marbles tonight. All because of reading this thread. So gonna laugh if I win something when I've basically stopped playing lol.

[Darkyrm]

Not playing much lately totally forgot about Marbles...

[Dantrag]

I keep forgetting to buy them <_<;

[Midnightjade]

Got mine last night.

In previous bonanzas, I had bought on a few mules as well as main, and was systematic about the strategy, but still didn't get anything decent.

This time, I just got them on main only, and let the moogle decide the numbers. Gonna LOL if I actually win.

[Sho]

Getting them now finally. Meh, not as exciting as it was years ago.

[Jakson]

Won a rank 2 on a mule last time, now I'm gonna be disappointed when I don't win shit this time ; ;

Spoiler: show

Oh god I'll start going to church this time if I win a N.Sash and can find somebody to sell me a Hachiryu Haramaki, I really mean it this time.

[Dantrag]

Am I the only one that would get a N.Sash and just sell the thing for stupid amounts of gil?

[calinz]

Has no one thought yet that the sash will likely take a huge drop in price considering the inevitable defeat of AV once ppl hit level 80?

[Khajit]

There will still be a limited number of AV popping at first since it does take a while to complete JOL pops when everyone on the server wants one and the kind of people willing to spend gil on sash dont tend to be willing to wait.
I've also noted that alot of ls come up will silly theories about how AV is going to get buffed to lv 99 so that we cant defeat it and refuse to acknowledge the possibility that SE outright telling us old content wont be buffed is true. They seem to think SE is too stupid to even understand their own thoughts and words.

Too much stuff is just completely unknown at this point. I'm not one of the people that think that what we have now should STILL be the end all gear. I want new gear. I enjoy progression. Side-grades and certain things being staples for 6 years sucks.

game was built on working your way to get that gear. It could take years back in the day for a LS to get a few E body's. It really takes years to build a relic(outside LS built relics) To throw that away and say "sry" is not something SE tends to do. There will be upgrades and better gear. Maybe a second style relic that upgrades old relics.

SE is not willing to throw away the years of work people put into the game(for the most part) This is one reason a lot of vets stayed, it meant something and a lot of the top gear aged very well(even if it was not the best a 5 years latter)

If a person who was top geared back in 05 came back to the game, their gear would still be just fine and better then your average player; maybe not the best but they would not be loled at. (~_~ well maybe they would depending on the weapon they had lol)

[Khajit]

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

Yeah but look at how many people who still doesn't have said gear because people won't go back and do events for them unless they get paid for it.

That is why side grades exist, why something SIMILAR but NOT EXACT keep being added, for said people and yes they matter not just the end-game people. You will also have the usual suspects Q_Q if their gear they "worked so hard on"/"Spent x years on" and "no n00bs should have it" is suddenly made useless in an update. This is an undeniable fact. Some welcome it but most don't, look at how a good handful of people QQ'd when the cap was being raised and their first finger pointing went to "what about my salvage gear?"

Side-grades don't exist for people who has the "end all be all gear", it's for people who doesn't. Progression is indeed good, but completely obsoleting the current end-all be all gear will be even worse for the people who doesn't have it because THEN it's guaranteed they'll never obtain it.

So yeah its a good thing if people who played since 2002, got fully geared in 2005-2008, come back in 2010 and their hard work is still paying off. People just got warped by MMOs that came out after FFXI's era that hands you gear, takes it away, hands you more gear, takes it away and hands you more gear every patch. Some like it some doesn't because it's like "What was the purpose of working for x gear when it's worthless in a few weeks?"

[Talus]

Excellent post. I agree, it's too early to tell what the updates will have in store. I doubt anything at this point that will be introduced will completely obliterate the gear currently available, that has never been FFXI's style.

[Kalasin]

And SE has not said that the new level cap will be in current areas. They are uncapping CoP zones, but did not say which cap. It's totally reasonable to put a 75 cap on all currently existing zones, cause you know, it took them 6 years to find out what works relatively ok for people, why change it now?

The new zones are completely new areas, and it's not impossible that the new level cap will be for those new zones only. Let's wait and see.

[Khajit]

They already said they aren't putting any lv75 caps on stuff that wasnt previously capped to 75. Stop being retarded people.

[dejet]

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

Can you say if its good or bad? its up to each person to pick if they like it that way or not. I myself think its ok if they keep adding stuff that takes it place over time. As they have been doing.

Relic I can understand being the best there is. I hope they make ways (even if they are out of hand) to make them better thus allowing them to make better gear without messing with the fact that relic is staying the best.

[Destinye]

They already said they aren't putting any lv75 caps on stuff that wasnt previously capped to 75. Stop being retarded people.

Ironically, everything is technically 75 cap unless stated otherwise (e.g BCNMs/ENMs etc) so even if they capped things at 75 after cap raise on certain events like dynamis it would be no different than what you experience now..but yeah and SE said DNC and SCH will get on Salvage/Limbus additions if there's demand for it.

...There's demand for it and we're yet to be added..so regardless what SE says things can change xD.

I don't think anyone was suggesting a 75 cap in any way though..unless I missed a post.

[Khajit]

post above the one you quoted where kalasin said he hoped SE would lv cap all current zones to 75. I hear that kinda of talk so often i finally just said that everyone wishing for all zones to be 75 capped need to stfu with their retardation after hearing those idiotic ideas 4+ times minimum at the mere mention of leveling past 75.
