Whether they are mostly chinese or not i still find that highly prejudical that someone that is gilfarming like that is automatically labeled as chinese. I personally take offense since i am one(chinese not gil seller), becuase its an unfair generalization.
2 years ago? Isnt that around the release of the Japanese version when it first came out? If that is so, then i wouldnt be surprised if there is "cheap" rings. The thing is, gil isnt pumped into the economy yet, with each passing rank/quest/whatever, more gil is pumped into the economy, and eventually items will inflate to the current price unless there was enough substantial gil loss. So i dont feel that just cuz it was 6K back then, makes it different now...sure 6K isnt that hard to get, but it was under an entire different economy to my eyes.
I still would think IGE will eventually in the comming months camp WoW too for their currency. If none of the other developers of MMOs have done anything(whether they tried to or not or simply cannot is another matter), i dont see how WoW would be differnet.
There are many ways to get money, and if you got like 1 week fishing to get lvl 1, something is wrong...i got like one day, .5 fishing up. I dont see how hard it can be, read a book, talk to LS, and when you lvl it up enough you can get decent money assuming you arent fishing inside cities.
In my server, i dont feel anyone is necessarily overcamping, camp at off times if its that bad. So far my DRG in my LS, all he can say that he loves Gugsen, and how its been funding him pretty well with Darksteel ores. Sometimes Valkurm Emperor will be packed, and sometimes its a desert where i can wander around and take it with no one around for an hour or so. Obviously, if Snipers and Archers are still being sold, theres no reason to the sellers why they should reduce the price as people are in demand. Personally i feel the European influx is too little...and at times where i dont even see them awake when i play. O.o
Other ways are BCNMs, one of em is crafting like you said, basic farming also works, some WHMs Teleport Taxi, and other stuff. NM camping is just one way to get money.
People keep saying we can do this or that, i would like to see if SE will really respond to us and tell us exactly what they are going to do. So far i feel that they either cant or wont do something. Meh.
EDIT: somethingi seen on another forum
Heh, conspiracy theory huh. Well do you know the reason why IGE can defy the copyright (EULA) and not be penalized?
It's obvious if you have read the International Copyright Treaties from the Berne Convention. As far as databases go the copyright protects how the data travels and the database itself is structured. It does not cover what data is passing through. That means as long as you create an International Condition for it (Having a company outside of were SE's offices are, USA, JAPAN, EUROPE) then you can disregard the EULA in terms of were it says it's illegal to sell anything from the game for real currancy.
IGE has done that if you look at their About Us page. Their administration office is in the US yeah, but the office actually doing all the trade and distribution and such is stationed in Hong Kong. Their website even states that, damn the server and website itself were all the transactions are done is in Hong Kong. I know I tracked it's IP Address, it's registered in Hong Kong.
