Awww now people like Xephoid will actually have to earn gil by spending time at their computer? How sad.

[Xephoid]

not coming back to the LS, so you guys can stop sending me tells.

Don't feel like getting everyone's items but never a single thing ever for myself. Feel too much like a tool. I heard Grandma and Apexx left also. I still talk to Ashera, Aiden and Gutz though, since they are leveling crafts with me in bastok. Maury and Madrush are good people, but NoThx as a whole just isn't anything like the original Miracle.

I pretty much made up my mind to sell my character when WOW comes out.

[Ipwnzuall!!!111]

Wow... 400K to get to 25 smithing ^_^;....

That musta been a PL-- I couldn't have possibly spent more than 50K.

Anyway, I feel somewhat for the people that can't craft the caps just to raise smithing, because those are otherwise pretty tough levels, but as for the fishers (botters), it thrills the hell outta me to see justice done.

At least on my server, padded caps were always profitable just to buy from AH, synth and sell to the guild. I could make 700 gil off of every cap, which ain't great, especially with limited supplies, but if you think about how quick and easy it was to make cash w/o having to run around farming, hoping for drops or other forms of luck, and then having to pawn your stuff to players, it's pretty easy money at any level if you horde the supplies and do it all at once. I never fully abused it other than skilling up smithing >:/ but it doesn't sadden me to see it get fixed.

I love it when people get off orgasmically at other peoples misfortunes...

...doesn't remind me of CoH's forums at all....

Maybe people are getting off at the fact that S-E actually did something to circumvent one specific way people (and bots) could make easy money. I see the misfortune for the other people when item prices keep getting higher, but they can't make money while sleeping like some others to afford stuff.

[little ninja]

i say 75% of my gil came from farming. the other 25% came from moat carps an padded caps. so now really there is little else to make money at. sure i can still fish up moats an other fish. but that still doesnt bring in the gil.. i can work on crafting, but really that takes big time gil, an patience.. an really you arent looking at decent gains in that til the higher lvls.


people say that there was never money being put back into the economy. but then again its been along time since i sold much of what i farm to the a.h. still alot of items venders still pay more for, then what you can get on the a.h.


just because S.E nerfed padded caps. doent mean they effected gil sellers, or botters.. they just made farming grounds just a little bit more crowded.

[game_pimp]

Yes I'm upset about the it also. I was working hard all night to get my smithing to 34 and fishing to at least 25, but people who cheats ruins it for others.:mad:

[wstussyb]

was a nice run, made about 26 million
sucks I spent all of it :mad:
I could use that Uber lvl 59 armor now
at least I'll always be considered uber in gear from 1-59 heh..

[Mitch]

ugh, thanks to this there are now lots of fish bots in the cities. They were lining the docks in windy last night. I guess even though i just got my legitimate fishing skill to 10, i'll have to go find something else to do. I bet the price of moat carps is going to go through the floor now. Off to crafting, maybe i can get some cool shades

[Icemage]

Don't bet on the price of moat carp dropping. Sporadic reports coming in that moat carp catch rates in Rabao, Windurst, and San d'Oria are extremely low after the update. My guess is that this is a pre-emptive tactic on S-E's part in response to what the cheaters would do after they realized that Rabao (in its entirety), East Sarutabaruta, West Sarutabaruta, and South Gustaberg were now no-man's land for them.

[Mitch]

ill keep that in mind. thanks

[Mr. Black]

Moat Carp rates haven't changed for me, infact I think I catch more now after the update than before~

[Gman]

/sea all Rabao (pre-patch) 70-100 ppl

/sea all Rabao (yesterday) 17 ppl (6 of them was my group getting chocobos)

LOL

[Lauranthalasa]

Moat carp prices won't fall through the floor, the demand is high enough that everyone putting MC on the AH for the list price will get their carp sold quickly. Often I'll put mine up and by the time I'm done selling the 7th stack the other 6 will have sold. As for bite rates, I've been fishing in Windy for 2 weeks now (I'm broke) and the only bite rate changes I've seen are the moon phase changes. This whole 'bite rate nerf' is probably just a stroke of bad luck, I mean the patch has only been around for what, 2 days?

Edit: What's sad are the brazen botters in Port Windurst. I mean, come on...when everytime I run to the guild I see the same 6 tarutarus all lined up in the same order with very similar 4-letter names, I can't help but think it's just one or two people with a lot of $$ and cojones.

[Nodoka]

The sad thing is people dont realize there are Moat Carp in over a dozen zones outside of towns.
