It isn't that people don't want to do Dynamis.

Its the fact there is not a bot out that will do Dynamis while they sleep and repeat every 24 hours.
Plenty of us are programmers, but it's not worth doing if currency doesn't sell or zones are too crowded to farm a decent amount.

12 people in Dyna bubu is enough to hurt my farming (i'm not equiped well enough to effectively do DCs). Now there are going to be 20+ people competing in each dreamland zone at all hours of the day.

Guess I need to start a 3rd account so I can solo-enter Salvage and amass as much gil as I can while people still have large sums of it(man I wish they'd drop the requirement to enter down to 2).

Did you think people were still doing VW en masse for drops?

Hey, Hahava currently has 12/18 people shouting in Jeuno right now. So does Pil!

Dynamis can't handle much people without the zone going to ***. Pass 20 or so people and the zone becomes overcrowded, everyone gets ***, limited access per day, omg BSTs everywhar.

Salvage requires 3 ppl, Voidwatch runs will plummet, fire will rain from the sky etc etc etc.


@ 2:10 is why i posted this

I havent even heard anything about the expansion since the Vana fest. Seems they really dropped the ball on building hype up for it. Granted its still a few months away but still, could release a little info every few weeks.

SEs 'hype': We're making a new xpac, please don't close your account.

I think they slashed it a little too far, as this was a fairly decent way to make money for regular(Abyssea exp a lot/voidwatch a lot) players, I think they should have left the armor as sellable(or just lowered it) since well, it takes so much longer to move items since they're rare. They also could have also just broken the cruor chain of cruor burning, so you don't get more cruor for switching every mob.

What if you bought the ebisu items with money you farmed in dynamis? :P Who fishes their own ebisu items!

If these people did Dynamis they wouldn't be bitching about the update, they would conitnue to do dynamis and most likely carry-on like most other normal players.

Nobody bitching but you. Seriously gtfo with this holier then thou ***. I mean ive seen some butthurt in my life but ***....


Umm.. a big deal of this forum is bitching, I'm not butt hurt one bit at all. I can make millions sitting in jeuno while I browse these forums. I don't need to chocoblink & Please quote where I "bitched?" I am completely un-affected by this update. :) I bet you have seen some butt-hurt, looking in the mirror at your *** huh?
Don't be so naive. Whether you converted your cruor to gil or not you're still affected. The entire economy is affected.

Give it time and all the RMT will be doing VW and Dynamis, and still some FC because that still generates revenue to them, and they will be farming 'en masse,' as always.

Where do you think the money that people are buying dynamis currency with is coming from?


Cruor if they are smart, fishing if they are dumb.

And this is why people are bitching.
Everyone's income just took a major hit.

This is exactly what's happened, and it's why I'm not so sure that reducing the blinker's NPC resale value is the right way to fix the economy. I would think any sort of fix should have been more gradual and less spur of the moment. Even the fact that it was an "emergency" maintenance makes me feel like this wasn't thoroughly thought out or planned. I don't know, but I'm done trying to figure it out. I'm just waiting to see what impact this will really have on FFXI, and not freak out due to a lot of speculation.

I completely disagree with you 120%. Game is no diffferent for me than it was 10 years ago, if anything it's dumb-down for a 10 year old and gil is wayyyyy easier to get your hands on now. About it, same game, stupider people.

How does one remain unaffected by such a large-scale change to the game's economy? Does your character live off the land on some self-sustaining compound atop an isolated cliff in Qufim? Do you grow your own dragons for meat?

While it's true this is going to affect how fast/how much Dynamis currency/HMP/etc is going to sell for, maybe I'm missing something with the whole "have fun with 40 people in Dynamoose" argument, because as far as I know, the most attractive thing about blinkering gil was that you could be afk with your programs running it while it happened. So even if they stopped doing that (Which they probably won't- even if its only at about 1/10 the rate they're still making more gil than most casual players would ever hope to see), it's not like they'd flood into Dynamis because they'd still be afk doing whatever they were doing otherwise? (Job, etc)

You continue to work on your crafts that you've been levelling for more than half a decade.

Do yourself a favor. Stop, think and then post. It's just making you look bad. Don't even start to claim that changes in the economy won't affect you.

*sigh* back to dominion ops or farming lumbers dropping from Gobbues in the Boyahda Tree.

At least now i can use my cruor to upgrade Atmacites and not think: "i might blink that though"

I craft all day and all night. Making money off lazy people. I can craft all my own ***, I have multiple crafting characters. Plus I own the Cursed Hauberk -1 market on Ragnarok. Not hard when you're determined.

But like, you craft and make gil for a reason. Does it not affect you if you have to buy like.. anything? >_>

If prices rise on something you want you have to spend more time making all that easy money. I dunno.

Edit: Things affect you. Now whether it's positive or negative is completely different. IMHO

What are you hoping to accomplish by arguing with stupidity?

P.S. You have the best avatar on FFXIAH imo.
