You post what is supposed to be a Newb's (as in new player's)
Guide to Allakhazam. As such they are defacto not familiar with
the site or it current ownership by the infamous IGE with it's
leadership position in ruining the gaming experience of players
who choose not to cheat. As such I consider it appropriate to
advise them of this fact if I can and feel I am doing a public
service by doing so.
Whether you agree with this or not frankly does not concern me,
so {Thanks for the offer but I will have to pass} Just for the
record I am not spamming the forums with my message and rarely
look or post here anymore given my moral objection to the
ownership's business practices.
PS - For those of you who are indeed new here RMT is short for
real money transaction. The aforementioned company and owner of
this site is in the business of selling ingame money, items and
characters for real life money. Their means of obtaining said
ingame commodities includes the use of techniques such as third
party software and hardware as well as offensive in-game tactics
which prevent ordinary players from competing for the same
items on an equal basis. The result is a monopoly on those items
which results in predatory pricing. This in turn can drive some
players who would not cheat otherwise into using their services
to obtain the things they want thus helping to perpetuate the
cycle that is slowly but surely destroying the game.
A hearty welcome to any new FFXI players and remember there is
no such thing as knowing too much about the people and
institutions that you associate yourself with.

Whether you like to believe it or not, this is all about whos side you go on.
IGE is owned by Allakhazam's new parent company. That's it. What the parent gets from alla is not much more than profit. What alla makes really doesn't help IGE and vice versa. Therefore I will leave the biased opinions and non-factual beliefs out of the guide. Thanks.
