Uhm because most people arent showing it off? By the sounds of it, your one of the people to lazy to famr so dont have one peice of gear over 1k and get mad that other people level multiple jobs and have decent gear, therefor put the items they cant hold into the bazaar so they dont drop it. Ok so someone has a rose in their bazaar...What if it was given to them by a friend who died? I sure in hell wouldnt wanna drop that.

God Seals. Ok Imma go out on a limb and say you dont even have sky. They arent showing off they have a god seal, THEIR HOLDING IT SO THEY DONT DROP IT! Yeah the LS would fucking love you if you dropped a seal of Byakko the day before popping Kirin.

Most people nowa days have like...3...4....5 lvl 75s. Incase ya didnt know, most jobs take 2-4 sets of equipment. Yeah I dont really thing their going to have alot of space.

So there you have it. When you have something worth money, you wont wanna drop it. If you ever get into a HNM LS, ask if you can hold the seal of byakko one time. Then the kicker, drop it a day before your going for Kirin. Then you will learn why people put things in their bazaar and arent selling them.

If you get this mad over such a trivial thing in a game, I would suggest you seek help.

I could debate over this, but there's really no point.

Don't you just love it when people get into an arguement about the smallest things? Who cares if people put something for max gil in their bazaar, it's their character and they can do whatever the hell they want with it. If you check them and waste 4-5 seconds looking at the items in their bazaar, that's your own damn fault. Seriously, it's just a game, get over it. Even stores in the real world have cloths and tools and other things "for display only."

And most people don't care what you have to say about it, they'll do what they do regardless.

Me, I carry a buncha junk in my bazaar. I got my Lucky Leaping Lizzy tail, my JSE rings for both my 'main' jobs, my repub sig staff, warp cudgel and I'm sure a few other things. And unless I'm going to use the item, it's gonna stay in my bazaar, for max gil, until my character is deleted.

I don't care if you don't care, it has nothing to do with you.

Re: 9999999999 gil items (lol) and other stupid things players do that I question.

Well, personally, I put stuff in my bazaar for max gil for one reason: macros with equipment changes.

Take for instance my Elegy macro; I switch in my Terra staff inside my Elegy macro. However, if I go into an area where I'll be melee (i.e. farming, skill up, quest, etc.), I prefer to keep my dagger/sword out. In this situation, I put my staff in my bazaar so I don't lose TP on a weapon swap.

Sometimes I forget to take it out of my bazaar when I come back to town. Usually, when someone checks my bazaar, I remember to take it out ><.

Perhaps, if SE added an option where you could "lock" items in your inventory to prevent equipment swaps or accidental tosses, then I wouldn't bazaar them.

Re: 9999999999 gil items (lol) and other stupid things players do that I question.

See my signature. A dark staff is the cheapest thing I've just thrown away. Yes, I could be much more careful about scrutinizing every thing I drop/npc (and I do try to be careful), but mistakes happen (thanks to lag or carelessness). I feel better knowing my expensive/rare stuff is tucked away safely in my bazaar. It's for that same reason that no matter what happens, if my tamas ring isn't on my finger, it's in my mog safe where even the strongest bout of idiocy can do it no harm.

In addition to protecting my stuff, I have a few personal items up in my bazaar. All of this is mixed in with stuff I'm actually selling, though, so take it as you will.

{Yes please} or to quote my friend's chat log recently when he wasn't paying much attention whilst clearing out event items.

You throw away a Joyuse

I know dropping items you want to keep is pretty dumb (especially rare/ex ones) but it happens when you're in a rush and need room for an important drop.

Cool Re: 9999999999 gil items (lol) and other stupid things players do that I question.

I've put things in my bazare so I wouldn't lose them while doing some quests. As for checking bazares I've learned to recognize whitch mules are reglers and what they usely have to sell. Just like stoping by Wally world I know what mule to go to get what I need.

Re: 9999999999 gil items (lol) and other stupid things players do that I question.

I have dropped all kinds of things by accident, but if I was to drop part of the Kirin set I hold, or the inevitable Timeless Hourglass my ls would lynch me.

I store what I can, but I have a tendency to put things in storage in home city rather than anywhere else, which is useless if your ls is waiting to go to dynamis. Considering the icon is just like the perpetual hourglass which I sometimes I have forgotten to toss after last times Dynamis - now you see why I bazaar some of the stuff I do.

Each to their own. I used to bazaar things my ingame husband gave me, now he is quit they are tucked in storage. Yesterday you could have bought poison pots for 1g from me =)

Re: 9999999999 gil items (lol) and other stupid things players do that I question.

I also bazaar gear to prevent them from being macro'd in. I bazaar my staves when I'm soloing on my RDM.

My MNK macros equip my MND or VIT gear for Chi Blast or Chakra, then put my DD gear back on. But if I'm pulling too much hate and want to use Crow gear instead, I don't want my DD gear getting macro'd back in every 3 minutes. So I lock up any gear that I don't want on in my bazaar.

If you could lock gear to bar it from macros, I would definitely take advantage of it.

IIRC someone in my linkshell dropped her Snipper's ring twice. TWICE. My advice, put it in your bazaar and it won't happen again.
