A New Breed of Gilsellers
I know a lot if you prefer I write my posts as TBG and I will deliver a new one shortly but I really need to address an issue that has recently come to my attention as I'm sure you may have noticed as well. The gilsellers have been acting rather strange lately. Wouldn't you agree?
Here's what I've seen:
1) They have names. Actual typed out no-shit names. No more jumbled letters or randomized names. They have readable names.
2) They use emotes now. I believe this is an attempt to humanize themselves some more and make them much less detectable.
I'm sure some of you have noticed different aspects of the new breed but I personally study them on my server in an attempt to bring them down or inconvenience them in any way I can. Now SE banned 11,500 accounts for RMT related activity. I'm sure we all jumped for joy that day but honestly, how long did that one last? A day? Maybe 2?
I think you are catching my drift here...
Anyway, I have thought and mulled and brainstormed many times on how, we, as players can stop them ourselves. I have shared these ideas with in-game friends and my now long list of in-game enemies (enemies because they fully believe gilsellers help) on ways to stop gilseller influence on our server. You can ban them left and right but they will always come back. This leads to my next question. What the fuck can we do to stop them? Here are the most intelligent answers I got from highly experienced players. Sell for less at the AH. Sounds smart right? No. It's retarded. Don't lose sight of the fact that gilsellers sell gil and have an endless supply of it. This means they can easily just spam the price list to their liking all over again. Thus thwarting our effort in the first place. Here is another solution, "Don't buy from the AH. Just farm what you can and buy very little." A slightly more sound choice from the other however it still does not affect their influence by any real means. Most players cannot manage without the AH and wont be able to avoid it.
So keeping all of this information and knowing how the gilsellers operate and how they're able to affect our in-game economy and ruin our fun, I've come up with a method to eliminate gilseller influence in our daily lives by 100%. I've noticed we have websites with Dynamis schedules and Linkshell forums and loads of FFXI knowledge on quests and whatnot. So why not go with option number 2 and avoid the Auction House, keeping business strictly limited within linkshells and between linkshells. Here is how it works. Within your linkshell operations and forums keep a list of player's mules and the stock. Open an unlocked thread for other linkshells to view stock held by you and make offers to purchase items you are selling. This way you know, without a shadow of a doubt, the the person interested in purchasing your equipment is indeed a real player and not Chinese. If you maintain open links between eachother and continue to sell to one another in this manner the AH will, in time, pretty much empty out. Imagine that for a moment. An empty auction house. Some of you may be thinking, "That's too much work waahhh!" But ask yourself this question now. Isn't it MORE work to actually go farm and sell and farm some more just to meet the outrageous demands for items in the Auction House? This may also assist in the creation of "sales-only" linkshells that you would get a pearl for just to go shopping with. Essentially like a store run by players. Some linkshells could sell only for specific trades like beastcoins or metals instead of plain gil. If these ideas get implemented properly the only influence gilsellers will have on our servers is the fact that they take up party spots. In which case we can just camp right on top of them. Sound fun?
Now I am going to make a prediction. Because of the nature of my blog and the fact that some people really hate it when a person takes matters into their own hands I will get alot of negative comments from people in-game or in my comments section. Some people will even defend the gilsellers. To those who would say and do these things out of spite, know now that you are being ignored.
Aight yo, imma hook up an update lata so ya'll can laugh at sum shit aight? holla back!

I honestly don't see the harm in it. This game doesn't really allow you to fight any "evil" and win because whatever you defeat will just respawn later. I say, stop the gilsellers that ruin the game. Fight the intellectual battle. If the retard gilsellers can organize AND make money why can't we? Is it our greed? If so, then point that greed in another direction and don't allow gilsellers to partake. Just an idea.
Indeed, The inflation can or cannot be helpful at times but it is annoying.... Gilsellers just ruin the fun out of the game. Lazy people waste their money on endless ammounts of gil farmed by some retard working for the company.. Pathetic. I really agree with you all
Holla!
