with gil prices so low, how much real money do you make a month? genuinely curious, vague ballpark is fine if you don't mind.
around $14k, lowest month of 2018 has been $11,200 and highest $17,100

you think its about you but honey it was not :)

I mean, I deal with every other active seller from time to time. I know nobody else runs 12-18 char aeonics, not that that's any significant portion of my gil generation. Your description is almost entirely catered to me and nowhere close to any of the other active sellers..

Not really, there is another Japanese on levi fyi (goes with 10-12)
And again, the intention was to explain paradigms of RMT thats all.

I meant in regards to RMT selling them, I'm familiar with every other major seller and none of them fit your description besides me. As I said though, there are sellers at all levels and you can't really group them into any broad category besides the obvious china bots.

If XIAH banned me for selling gil, they'd also have to ban Toralin(big seller), Eiryl(small time), Matix, Nocki, and a bunch of others. I would wager 20%+ of endgame players have sold or bought gil at least once or twice without getting more involved in it. It's just part of the game at this point.

I see, well in that case.

We can group them in two...

1-Automated brainless ones.
2-Content Aware ones.

It's insane that that much money can be generated from gil selling in this game.

I'm in the wrong line of work.

I mean like twitchwhores (can)make 20k in a day for "playing games".

Attractive women are on a whole different level for any sort of revenue generation. Just being an attractive women gives you better earning potential than 98% of the remaining populace.

S-E is dying to shut this game down and won't hesitate to do it the first moment it turns a loss.

Do you have any evidence of this claim? Has S/E stated or published anything to this effect online anywhere?
It's barely updated, they can't get a ps2 devkit anymore and they can't even be bothered to hire any NA community reps to officially translate balance.

They want to kill this old *** game off and force you all to FF14.

I answered a question that was specifically directed toward me. I don't see how that can be seen as oversharing, but go on.

Please write a book about how great of a FFXI player/expert you are. I can't wait to read it.

Yeah, it's just the point that, we're all in the wrong line of work. Strimmin to virgins is big money.

And since someone will ask "how you make so much" real simple math, 18 bots, salvage every hour is 216m per day, $5,000 a month, and that's lowballin it. doesn't even count sparks/accolades.

Salvage is just a minor bot used to keep up with Alexandrite demand, since AH doesn't do it. The real bots do much heavier content, but yea, automation is the backbone of profit. I don't advertise selling Aeonics for gil and often turn down offers, because if I'm not in the right mood it's just not that great a payoff for 5 hours of manual work.

How did this go from botting, to gilsellers, to attractive women being *** for playing games.

This thread was answered on page one now it is just I"m better at FFXI than you. I'm not sure why every FFXI thread is I'm better than you let's fight.

People will always cheat and all the FFXIAH threads in the world will not stop it. So I don't even see why he made the thread.

It went from botting to gilsellers because the bots are obviously gilsellers.

Attractive women aren't *** for playing games, but if they're playing them half naked on a video stream and flirting with neckbeards.. they're just smarter than their strip club counterparts.

If we are being technical...this whole forum is a violation of FFXI TOS probably. It isn't the official FFXI forum. So everything we post on here etc. Could be considered breaking the rules. But they don't care about this half *** website.

MAYBE the guys he sells the gil to, but no.

And the only reason he hasn't been banned... is because he's not doing it. LOL. Never seen someone stoop so low for attention.

I don't doubt that he sells, but no middle man makes that much money in FFXI RMT. :)

It means either I photoshopped a 1099-k really, really quickly or you're calling bs out of jealousy. I don't really care if you believe me, you think I'd leave my real info and SSN in a post on here..?

Haha, I'm pretty sure you've had that on hand for a while because it's the only thing you have as 'proof' that you sell 'soooooo much' gil. I'll just leave it at that. That's hilarious though, especially from you.

So....what I really want to know is, are you being taxed on this form of income? do you have a VAT number?
Just thinking of all the taxes I have to pay (afterwards) as a selfemployed... Those figures dont really say much if you dont calculate taxes etc. since this is a form of official income through electronic payment hence traceable.
