Gregowe, read the comment you mentioned. RMT is illegal, thats not in question. However it is completely legal to buy low and sell high. If you can get a good deal on a item and re-sell it at a higher price, good for you!
If I can drive the price up on a certain item and make a better profit by doing so, thats just intelligent business.
if people would read the playonline user agreement...it is legal to "price fix" and many ffxi players make their gil by taking advantage of this...much like in a real economy. so who cares...report real RMT who are doing the XNM's.
Things not against ToS don't mean they are not possibly related to RMT activities. If you have ever read special taskforce report, there is a category for *bad* use of the AH. However you can just report *possible RMT activities* and let the taskforce investigate them. It doesn't hurt if you are not RMTers.
Price fixing is NOT against the ToS. Something you might want to know before wasting your effort , time and nerves on something like this.
Instead use these people to profit yourself...
Overmore its an easy bcnm to buy it, so if u don't have money to afford or u don't want to spent, u can simply fight to obtain it.
I love fixing price for my purpose, so kids are my best customers, lol.
On the topic of convert HP > MP gear, it also makes a difference for gear that activates at yellow HP.
While using gear like Zenith mitts, your yellow HP is determined as 75% of your hp WITH convert HP>MP gear on, while -HP +MP gear cannot be used this way.
(aka if putting on Zenith mitts brings me to 550HP, its 75% of 550, not 600. But having -50 HP in -HP gear on will still require 75% of 600.)
lol these ppl are like a group or something every server is seeing the same thing for increases prices. It'd be funny if it wasn't stupid. Ppl say its RMT, maybe it is, maybe its not. Maybe its actually 1 group of people playing on every server that get into a group and say "We will raise prices, cause we can." Its understandable the arguments saying that its "buy low, sell high" but its on every server. Can anyone explain that?
