I've heard many rumours about these players trying to combat inflation. What organization do they belong to, if any, and how was this organized?

they're doing it so that they get more value from their sales.

let's pretend Scorpy Harness sells for 6mil on ah, someone sitting in jeuno would have to sell it somewhere around 5.4mil so that the tax brings it up to around the harness' 6mil value. the seller only gets 5.4mil instead of the 6mil the harness is worth. sitting in rolanberry, there's no tax, so people put it up for 6mil and get 6mil.

:/

They are just dodging taxes is all... Broody Marverous. Although I hear someone tried to MPK all of them the other day... hehe

LOL, first time I ran into them, I was leaving Jeuno to escape the massive lag spike. My computer nearly threw up once I zoned in Rolanberry Fields and there was just this MASSIVE huge blue blob on the Radar.

As far as the MPK thing, would be kinda hard since a vast majority I've seen of them, they appear to be lvl 60+ and there aren't any regular mobs that will attack them, especially since they're all standing. Of course, it's been a week since I've got out to see them, that might have changed. I'll tell you what, though. If I ever find Peinx (Sells Shihei for 5k a piece/scammer) out there, him I will PK.

Oh... that Peinx thing brought up something else I never get a chance to say. A while ago I was partying with some people from a linkshell named after a type of fruit. One of them switched linkshells to a LS called Butter or something like that. Butter just happens to be the same LS that Dinkle wears. Dinkle is that little tarutaru that sells Shehei for 5k each. I just thought it was interesting that a LS, whom at one time I thought was one of the better ones, would do something like that. I guess they are not that cool after all. Oh well... just thought I'd throw that out there.

Generalized statements like this aren't true. Some of the bazaars in Rolanberry Fields do have items cheaper than AH listing. There is no "organization" for all the people that bazaar.

As far as dodging taxes yes that is true, which can result in lower prices (slightly lower) on items in bazaars, also the ability to "sell" more stuff at one time oposed to the AH 7 items for sale at a time. Also there was attempted MPK the other day, since I know. I was sitting down with my avatar and woke up without it standing and someone had cured me thankfully.

This is appalling. I for one applaud the idea of people bazaaring just outside of Jeuno, rather than us paying the tax inside on items bought from them.

These people aren't hurting anyone and are saving the rest of us a little gil in the process. And though it might add a little lag in Rolanberry Fields at least Jeuno is a little less crowded.

I cannot understand the mentality of MPK'ers. Shame on those responsible for the attempt.

Yeah, it seems every time I go out there I see someone training gobs around there. I've gotten some good deals of some of the players too. I don't see why anyone would MPK them. It's definetly irresponsible at best as several people exiting Jeuno could be harmed by them. Anyways, I guess FFXI is just as riddle with jerks as the rest of the world.
