Hahahaha! I don't play the game anymore?
Man, that is *** hilarious on so many levels.
You do realize all the shouts people see for VW or make, and how easy it is to obtain 1500 plates over a given amount of time? That they initially wanted to upgrade their favorite empyrean weapon, then decided to sell to work on something else?
As I said, sparks gear is a stopgap. It works for a lot of casual players for a long enough time, because they decided to focus on something they wanted.
Why are you buying HMP? Why are you buying 1500 all at once? Gee, sounds like someone is hiding the chance he may secretly be buying gil, by accusing others of being rmt.
