Just a little story on how a relatively bad day can turn into loads of fun.

So i'm in Zi'tah after finding a replacement for myself (party was relatively annoying and I wasn't having to great of a day to begin with) and then before warping I decide to maybe see if I can get a tree cutting or two.

Thing is it was prime time for the goobue gil sellers in this area so they had it camped pretty bad. So before I left I ran into a couple of friends learned that they were claiming the goobues as they spawned and not killing them. Goobues that spawn and aren't kill = no new goobues spawning, so I decided in giving them a hand and see if we could get some gil sellers pissed off :D .

You have no idea how much fun it was, after about 5 minutes each of us had claimed one and by that time the gil sellers were well aware that we were here, cant remember but i think we had like 4-5 goodbues crowded around the boyahda exit with us there. It was freaking hilarious, about 2-3 of the sellers would follow us or stay close to us ahoping to get claim somehow, every now and then we would tease them by hurting the goobues a bit and then stopping and such. In the end they got royally pissed off and it was a fun 15-20 minutes or so.
 
Heres how I screwed with them. I bought a crapload of money from a guy on Ebay. I paid him and got my gil. After I got my gil I called my bank and told them that there was an unauthorized transaction on my account. The bank refunded my money and I closed my bank account. Granted I wanted to close my bank account to start with. I had to buy the gil on Ebay using a bogus account and did it from the county liabrary.

I don't know if that works. You might not be charged, but I don't know if the gil merchant company has to return the money. I hope it works, though. *crosses fingers*
 
It worked. They guy came in game and started ranting at me. I told him to kiss my butt since he was in direct violation of Square Enix code anyway. Technically so was I for buying it...but...oh well.
 
well, i have to say nice job on the buying gil thnig....no, the seller wont get it back, what is the seller gonna say to SE...."well i sold this guy gil but he never payed me and i want my gil back" not likely. very nice job though...lmao
 
The buying gil trick done even better through IGE.

Buy Gil, give it away to newbies in the Dunes and/or use it to fund events through a LS then at the end of the month, tell your credit card company to never recieved the stuff. IGE can't do shit except ban one credit card from doing it again. I had a conversation with an IGE employee once, he assured me that you can't get in trouble by avoiding answering my questions about it. Good way to steal money from IGE if you could convince people to purchase from them.
