Hi guys, I'm back! Just took a break to attempt to beat Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I just started playing FFXI again and I was wondering, Is buying FF gil a smart thing to do? Apparently GM are starting to take action against gill sellers and buyers. I have never bought gil before but do you think its worth 10mil gil with the risk of suspention or is it just worth being really poor. I saw the ad on your homepage and I thought about it? Can someone tell me what to do?
Thanks

bad idea. You would be critisized, etc. It's better to be poor. It;s better to do things on your own.

If you think you'll get away with it go for it. Unless you dont want to take the dum bitching from people.

There are plenty of other ways to get gil. >_>

[Ouch!]

Gilsellers are a great annoyance. Supporting them by buying gil from them results in a backlash from the majority of the FFXI community should others find out. Like Straw said, there's plenty of other ways to make money.

Seems a lot of end-game users buy gil. *shrug* I don't really think it'd be worth it, and you are helping out the gilsellers, which for the most part are complete assholes.

No, not really, most gilsellers are actually really nice people, they're just tired of being labeled as "chinese gilsellers" "japanese gilsellers" etc, you treat them nice, they will treat you nice as well.

Yes, they do MPK on HNM's such as Serket, however thats part of the game, almost everyone will do it, you just need to plan ahead and bring extra people to take care of the undead-low-hp-aggro-mobs.

Shouldn't label people as "assholes" unless you truely know them, dont judge a book by its cover just because they're doing a job you perhaps are jealous of. Playing a game and earning money? {Yes, Please}

As for the topic itself, I'm not afraid to admit I've boughten gil, I wanted to play the game, and not spend days doing stuff I've done in the past, I came back expecting to have fun, not repeat the same old farming I've done countless times already, and there is really nothing wrong with that.

However, if it is your first time playing, I would frown on gilbuying simply because its like using a gameshark for RPG's.

Gilsellers make the economy go bye-bye by devaluing gil. It makes the game harder to play when you're starting up. For that alone I think they're assholes.
