This is so ironic. Just a couple days ago I looked and there was 170k in my Delivery Box. Of course, I didn't put anything on the AH anywhere close to that amount. So I did the research. Fanbizen, a Japanese player on my server, who had probably meant to bid on the item for 17k(which i actually put on the AH for 18k) bid 170k. Now, I am by far not the richest person playin this game. At any one time, i usually only have about 50-60k on me. Which gets me by. I can't afford the good stuff. And when I need something that costs over 100k, it takes me over a week to get. One because, hey... I'm a taru non-DD, and two, I'm in the Navy, so a lot of time is spent away from the game. But i do believe in Karma. Anyways, I waited 2 days for him to either log on or to send me a message. I finally got a message from him saying...<Do you speak any Japanese?> to which i reply <I don't speak any Japanese.> I could sense that he was a little upset due to the language barrier. However, me doing the research, I knew that it was the gil that he was asking about. So I arranged to meet up with him and he only asked for 100k back. I ended up giving the difference between the item I put up for Auction and the amount that he paid me, which was 153k. So, basically I lost 1k but that's not the point of this game. This game, imho, is meant to be a place for people to be stress free. A place where we can talk about the crappy week we've been having, and just relating to those across the World. A "getaway" to just have unadulterated FUN! So, it's not the gil that is the core of this game. It's relationships that you build. Just my thoughts.
