Hey I just thought of a great idea. Now that Obama got re-elected, instead of finding gear and selling it on the AH and profiting off our own success, lets have government handouts of gear.

Hey, we all know FFXI healthcare is broken. Look at the soaring costs of medicines! Obviously the free market medical system isnt working when I need simple medicines to keep me well during the hard times we face such as Legion. I mean a stack of Panacea is 250,000 gil for cryin out loud! Someone needs to stand up to the special interest in the Alchemist guild! Monsters just keep growing in level and we need more and more medicine just to keep goin.

Most medicine is overpriced if its even available at all! I welcome Vana-bamacare. The free market hasnt made affordable medicines in over a decade to try! Vana-bamacare 2012! For the Panacea!

We need more manufacturing. Its nearly impossible to do a startup business like smithing 110 these days. All our jobs are going overseas to the japanese crafters. If the union of moogles werent here to support us, most of us would be out of a moghouse while our crafting jobs ship overseas. Obama saved the smithing industry. I personally know a lot of crafters that have had the opportunity to re-invest in their business to overcome the severe startup costs of crafting from 100 to 110 alone. Lots of crafters and competition is good for the in-game economy and the middle class characters. The crafters may not make quite as much money on the top, but cheaper goods are good for the game as a whole.

Besides, were not talking about some socialist hand-outs, just increasing access to previously exclusive content. In the past administration, 18 man legion HP was reduced, and soon it will be reduced yet again. Neo NI will soon be accessable to those who can only reach floor 80 instead of 100! And all this was done without raising the auction house tax a single gil!

In addition, hes already planning to open trade to the western lands sometime next year! Did you realize that many of the exeptionally rare and saught after items such as ormolu ingots are created there?

Can you imagine what will happen when trade is opened up to the western continent and we can more easily obtain these rare gems for our Hexed gear!? That will be amazing for crafters and adventurers alike! Imagine the -1s we will have available and priced so the middle class adventurers can actually buy them! Crafters will have enough materials to actually expand their shops to encompass 110 skill based items!

Obama for Middlelands 2012!

oh oh and we should prolly have SE confiscate weapons and permanently cast silence on all the mediocre players and noobs. After all, they might be dangerous to all the elite players. They might aggro something and MPK us or cast the wrong spell at the wrong time.
