Awww, Draylo's normal dreck being spewed on something he can't even take advantage of.

I've seen this Charged Whisker "cleave". He does well. He does it all by himself. And he's offering it to you. Take it if you need it. Well worth it.

He is being taken advantage of... 20k an hour are you kidding me? I would never do this for 20k lol. People charge 100k~200k an hour normally on my server and that is reasonable. 20K an hour is dumb, can make more than that farming random pop items and selling them.

Lot of peeps here not realizing that it's 20k/person. If he gets 2 parties of people interested in this, then bam he's getting 240k/hr. Not the best, but not bad money.

Not to mention at that price he will get that many people alot. And people are generally paying the higher amounts for the full pts that are getting like 3-5 times that xp.

The thing I'd be annoyed with(if I was in Zelda's position) is the "free spot" he offers. I can see him running into a situation where people come to get the "free spot" and use their keys on the first two pulls, then start slacking off "going to eat dinner, will be back in a minute" etc etc.

Later on... "What?! Why do I have to pay for that time?? I keyed your stupid boxes" *drama time*

Uh yeah I realize that... and I also realize how many people are still willing to pay 100~200k an hour each lol. People on my server do it all the time, 100~200k for leech spot for 300k/3hrs and 18/18 so about 15~16 leeches. 20k is chump change, 240k chump change.

Most people would pay 20k/hr. 95%+ of the population wouldn't pay 100k+. He's getting a lot more clients due to his price, which means more reliable income from this.

Reliable is the key word here.

People are far more likely to pay 40k to cap merits than 200k+

Therefore his client base will be far higher, and people will be willing to repeatedly use his service.

It's basic business sense. Sometimes you have to sell low to reach a core demographic with a higher population, in this case the people without gil through the ***.

I'd definitely pay 100k+ for a full pt of mostly not leechers but 100k for about 100k xp is kinda meh.

Not really sure how many people would pay 100k/hr to leech on someone soloing

Hmmm actuallly might even be able to make a living doing that. Get 12 people... even at only 100k that's that's 1.2mil an hour. Last I heard gil is 10-15/mil so even lowball your making decently over minimum wage... not that I'm promoting selling gil just saying

It's 20k/hr to afk, I'd charge more I'd pay 50k/hr minimum to afk and get 105k/hr

This one dude here on Cerb charges like 200-250k for a leech spot, but it's from start to end, not charging by the hour :P
And that's damn cheap, compared to the others, charging 100-200k\hr xD

This is really cheap, bet his shouts fill up damn fast every time

I think the way he sees it, he's getting cruor. You being there doesn't change the fact that he's getting cruor. Getting 20k gil/hour per leech is a bonus to him. Is it low? Yes, it is.

It's a great party. I've been in 3 of them so far and owe him countless brews.
