7 Lu Shang's in 15 days

So was looking on ffxiah for some profitable buys/sells, and then I got led to one thing after another - basically ended up at this:

http://www.ffxiah.com/player.php?id=851773&sid=1

How the hell can someone get hold of 7 LS's in 15 days to sell???

It can only be quested with the 10000 fish thing right?

Re: 7 Lu Shang's in 15 days

They could have all been bought initially, not quested. Some RMT fishbot clans use Lu's so they don't have to worry about breaks as much.

Re: 7 Lu Shang's in 15 days

I followed the link to see the sales history on Lu Shang itself, and I noticed a sale by another player named "Bhafa". They both start showing sales transactions at about the same time (within a week of each other). The names are so similar. They've both sold a Lu Shangs recently.

Too many coincidences.

My guess is that someone created a series of chars starting with the letters "Bah", because that's the first 3 letters of the server. I'm on Lakshmi, and I remember seeing a bunch of characters all using the same female hume char model, named stuff like "Laksba" (Lakshmi, Bastok, A-character), "Laksjb" (Lakshmi, Jeuno, B-character), etc. I guess naming conventions make it easier to manage their resources, especially if they have them spread out over multiple servers.

Re: 7 Lu Shang's in 15 days

This may be an indication that our good ole Goblin Bounty Hunters are being effective if a fish-bot is dumping his Lu's. ie. he has multiple fishing mules each with a Lu, sent them to all 1 Char. and is dumping them. Of course maybe they all got an Ebisu instead lol.

Agreed. And this has been happening for a while - after a while you grow kind of immune to it...

GMs know about it too, I've called them numerous times and explained the entire scheme in simple words, and still nothing.
