Well it looks like SE has officially banned everyone who's been caught selling Gil. Hopefully that means that the AH prices will go down but I highly doubt that. At least for now.
You know if there's one thing I truly hate in games, its a timed level. You know what I mean! Like in FFIX when you have to run about the Castle in only 30 min (I bet I got that wrong) and find the Princess and then fight a boss WHILE THE CLOCK IS STILL GOING. Actually that's an insanely easy timed level, but its still nerve wracking to see that durn clock going while yer trying to focus!
So far the worst timed level I have yet to encounter is the one in Stranger. Ya have to run about the Dam while being SHOT at by a thousand goons and ya CAN'T STOP TA FIGHT because you only have 3 minutes! It took me 6 tries to beat that level because I finally read the guide and found the "Short way" through.
But I hate timed levels because afterwards yer all wired up on adrenalin and yer twitching and freaking out. I don't think its very fun to have ta run against the clock and then have to start again because you made a wrong turn or you were 3 seconds away from the finish line. Bah I say! I had a whole list of games with timed levels but now I can't recall a one!
