The Amemet team on my server have some NICE items now. The THF has scorpion harness, the WHM has vermillion. Why would they get such expensive items if their only goal is just to profit as much as possible? They must actually ~enjoy~ playing to an extent. |
I don't doubt that they enjoy playing. One of the most notorious gil sellers on my server has both a Thief's Knife and a Kraken Club. His group is actually quite skilled. They don't restrict themselves to the typical gil farmer NMs. The other day I showed up and started killing placeholders for Novv the Whitehearted, and along he comes with his Thief's Knife. You might ask yourself well fi they are really gil sellers why keep 80 million gil worth of items when they could sell it and feed themselves for a month? My guess is that this particular group is not as hard up for cash as the rest. They play for fun and sell gil at the same time. He does go around Jeuno every now and then shouting {Kraken Club} 50,000,000G {Do you need it?} but of course nobody takes him up on the offer.
I think this particular gil selling group is becoming your typical HNM linkshell with one exception. Drops which better their members are kept, otherwise they are sold on the AH and the gil is sold.
