Are the gil-sellers freaking out, or is it just me?Follow

Has anyone else noticed the gil-sellers on shiva going a little crazy?
Like they need to make gil but can't figure out how?

I don't remember which, but either one of the "Gard___" group or the "Oo--" group was farming a train of crawlers in Maze of Shik. It kind of made me laugh, the thought of gil-sellers farming... Maybe its just me.

When I think gil-seller, I think mean spirited "You {too weak}" NM camping in Ordelles. I know that they're not gone from the server, but out of all the things I could picture them doing for gil, mass-farming crawlers would be pretty close to last on my list.

Still funny though IMO. ~Aet

the gil-sellers have always farmed... whether its Amemet/Phantom Worm run, or Goobue's, thats all they're doing.. killing the same mobs repeatedly for days on end

their failed try at HNMs was the exception, that little 3-4 month period where you'd see them at all the main camps day after day.. and lose almost every pull, or lose the fight if they did win pull

now the only times they really go for HNM are the crappy ones they can handle with 6 people, and usually only if they hear its up unclaimed or its due soon and uncamped (ie, Roc)

Oozz i think still mines. In fACT the Oo__ who mined still do. SE made farming teh suck for everyone IMO.

I was in Horuto ruins tryin to farm bone chips for bonecraft with thf sub mind you, i had to kill about 19 ghouls before one dropped. I got like 7 total in a hr, and 2 were from steal. ;;

Nerfed drops blow chunks, i dont remember having to spend 500k to level alchemy or bonecraft to mid teens on my old server Seraph, which was a huge pain in the nads anyway. cry, dont mind me.




~ just pouring the gil out, pouring it out pouring it out =.=

Lol, I've been hunting Dhamels in bubu for a week now hunting for giant femurs, and there is always a Oo__, usually zz or vv running up and down the east coast culling the crawlers in massive trains. Its nice to be smoking a few long necks and have three or four crawlers pop around you for a chance at silk, esp since I'm preparing for the silk road...

Superstarone was seeking as a 65 NIN the other day.

SuperstarXXX was shouting for teles for a really long time.

Every gil seller that used to be in ordells was shouting trying to sell sniper rings in jueno the other day.

I saw some gards doing BCNM's the other day.

I think the update definatly put a damper on **SOME** of the less resourceful gil sellers, and i love it.

I was actually thinking they might try and sell their accounts soon, if they cant make enough gil to be worthwhile. Imagine the poor soul who buys those accounts >< They would already be on hundreds of /blist, and hated by the entire community lol.

Guess thats what you get for buying an account huh? lol

Ever since the version update i've seen this pair, a galka named Quanting (sp?) and a tarutaru named Jaasaa, camping Hoo Mjuu the Torrent constantly. I highly suspect them of being gil sellers/botters. Me and two other friend went to camp Hoo after the version update last week, and after 5 hours of camping, this duo beat us to all 4 pops. Normally i would have just thought they were better campers than us, but they seemed to know EXACTLY where Hoo was going to pop and beat us to it. We asked them after every claim if they got the drop and every time they said "Deodorize". my friend stayed for a few more pops only to lose Hoo to these two. He asked them why they were camping Hoo and one said for their Bst. We come back the next day and the day after, and they are still there camping. There's no way that they haven't gotten the monster singa after all of those claims. These guys never move except for when Hoo is about to pop at which point they start waving at us or doing other emotes. My friend did the emote /cry one time when the Galka got the pop and the galka did a series of three random emotes. On the next claim my friend did it again and sure enough, they did the same series of three emotes in the same order. A little word of advice, don't go hunt Hoo unless you want to waste 5 hours of your life.

That might be entertaining wtaching them trying to get a clean pull on Zip, and if they do then we accidentally aggro a detector and zone it by them. Follow them around in sky and when they go to fight a God we take tele up as well and once it goes yellow we claim it and kill it. Alot of other ways to have fun, only bad part is they could do all these same things to us.

feel like an *** but:

Superstarfive saved one of our asses in Kuftal tunnel yesterday -.-;;

Pt member died stuck between a rock (Robber crabs) and a hard place (Cactuars), I'd cast raise, shed accept once we thought crab was out of range, Id try to sneak her up...no such luck.
Superstarfive came by, slept the crab, raised pt member, and I snuck pt member. He then used {Tame}, and showed us directions out lol. We made it back to camp, and got that pt member her lvl ^^ So, not all of them are complete {Too weak} {please} {leave} asshat types (not supporting gilsellers here, just saying some show helpfulness).
I always see ookk or oovv shouting for teles {No thanks.}
and a crapload have discovered mining. >_<

Everyone thinks the superstars are soooo nice. They raise you, help with links, charm mobs off ya....until you claim Amement or go after whatever they are trying to kill. Then the war is on. They pull/release links, mass cure to gain hate, kill off pets (we go as all BST) in an attempt to have it go yellow. They even managed to MPK us in a Guivre fight because we were in the room of the Amement spawn near the pop time, killing off our ex pets so they could get claim and not worry about Guivre.

So yeah, they are nice as long as you don't compete with them...

Hey there Shaolinz, remember me? Trying in vain to camp Leaping Lizzy when the NM botter known as Jonesz uses Flee/Provoke when Leaping Lizzy popped right next to him? LOL.

Anyhow, It's good to see that the gil-sellers are literally getting kicked in the balls, like Shaolinz said.

SE, {You can have this.} {/praise}

Can't wait to get back into the FFXI mix later this week. WOOT!!!
