[Dev] Dynamis Currency Icon Update

lol the bitterness is still amusing

another rediculous "minor" adjustment and another rediculous thread with people QQin on being ripped off.

This is almost as bad as them takin out the "XXX is paralyzed" out of alliance pt chat so people cant see other people that are para'd....

complete utter joke.

Noobs clearly run this game and any one with any ounce of intelligence that makes a viable suggestion gets ignored.

So lets all wear pink armour buy dyna currancy for prices that are fradulent and make random stupid suggestions for fixes that practically help no one. This is the only way thou shall be heard!!!

complete load of crap.

LOL last 3 posts just made my weeks highlight reel ty so much havent laughed so hard in ages.

When you're rushing in bazaars to buy bunch of currencies (100s), you can easily make a mistake, especially if you just bought 100s at the same price in the same bazaar. However it didn't happened to me yet because i never this much gils. So it has nothing to do with being dumb. It depends on whether or not you have gils, you are in your normal state, you're rushing or take your time.
Stop being dumb and try to tell that only stupid people can get in a trap like that.

I've always thought that only stupid people fall for it, that doesn't change that it's a major *** move to set up a bazaar solely to scam other players. I couldn't give less of a ***whether a dumbass spends gil on it, but it does bother me that the scammer is making profit off of them.

Unless you specifically support scamming, the update can't hurt. It probably doesn't even take 30 minutes for them, as they already have white/blue border templates.

By any chance, was it a mule character named Muramasamune?

They got me too, right after I got home from a long day of work - wasn't thinking straight. With competition for currency so strong, it's easy to get excited when you 'see a great price'. Admittedly, it was my mistake (so help me if I ever make the same mistake) but it still hurts.

Really though, if the people who are buying them by "mistake" are HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE enough to not check what they are buying before they buy it don't deserve the gil either.

This isn't exactly a new tactic anyway....

I know a lot of you don't remember the old days when venomous claw were like 10m...

But people used to do the exact same thing with scorpion claw.

I, Accidently, Setup all my, One bynes, for, EightHundredThousand gil, Thinking that, They were, my, OneHundreds, Oops, My bad.

Addendum: This kind of bitterness is even more amusing lol.

Doesn't matter, there's still going to be people that will make stupid decisions and fall for the the trickery.

Maybe we should petition SE for an additional 5 layers of addition checks at the auction house.

"do you want to bid 4,000,000 on this item?"
"are you sure you want to bid 4,000,000 on this item?"
"are you really sure you meant 4,000,000 and not 400,000?"
"really? cause the last four items sold at 400,000 380,000 420,000 and 410,000."
"are you superduper positarutive?"

i lol'd

People can do whatever they want, but I've never been poor enough to stoop so low.

I used to do it with Imp. silver pieces. Original was around 1k a piece and I put it in for 1m. My character was a small taru so I would sit in the trusted sellers body and bring in afk gil harhar. The JPs hated my ***.

That sort of logic states that you should never take preventive measures for anything. Of course people will always fall for scams; the whole point is to lower the odds of it happening.

How do so many people here not understand how laws work and why they exist/come about? >_>

I made the mistake before into rushing byne bills. In this current market, there are a lot of buyers for currency these days.

I don't see why it's anything bad to change the icons of the currency. I guess the people scamming are complaining because their sole source of income is to cheat people of their gil. This all boils down to morals and ethics. And the general public doesn't really care if you did/didn't succeed into someone buying your items.

We get the point people are dumb sometimes and no one's made a mistake before of overbidding. Don't condemn the developers trying to help the greater good and make the game more enjoyable for everyone else.

Is this Reductio ad Absurdum?

You mean "condemn" right?

First I didn't say it shouldn't be done, just that in the end I don't think it will really help. If they wanna do it, go for it. But when people make that mistake they largely do it because they aren't paying enough attention to what they're doing (user error not game error).

Secondly the auction house thing was tongue in cheek, but in all honesty if you added 5 more layers of checks at the auction house you'd get people who were so irritated by the extra layers that they would just burn through them to finish faster (and continue to make the mistake).

Lol yes.

It is.

Not to pick on words here but I don't see how clearly placing an item at an obviously inflated price is "cheating" someone out of their gil. Sure you're playing on their carelessness, and even trying to trick them into thinking they are buying something they aren't. But in the end, the game doesn't let you sell a single piece with a 100 sticker on it. You aren't misrepresenting anything, the game doesn't let you do that.
