Need ways of direct cour > gil or exp > gil conversions

[Rambus]

These conversions are badly needed. It is rare to find people exping anymore because PEOPLE DO NOT NEED EXP. Why was the cour > gil taken out? Because RMT abuse it? You might as well take away all exp gained in abyssea because RMT farm exp for people.

[Arcon]

Had nothing to do with RMT. This idea is bad and you should feel bad.

You can not have a good economy when people can create money any time they wish. Gil has almost no way of being taken out of the system, yet Cruor was putting gil in at a huge rate almost constantly. Cruor needs to be able to buy VW drops, mainly Plates, Mirrors, Sand, Dross, and Cinder. Allowing those to be bought would be great, they are items, not gil, which are used in trials that consume the item, cruor is taken, the item is taken, no gil is created, and nothing bad happens, people simply sell them to one another which causes gil to cycle through the market, not be created.

Why was the cour > gil taken out? Because RMT abuse it?

It was because everyone abused it. Any system of artificially injecting currency into an economy is bad, and that is why it was (finally) adjusted.

I think Cruor should have some form of significance... I always thought they should have made a few more Abyssea zones that worked like Limbus... you use a certain (high) amount of Cruor to buy the "pass" for the zone, and you and a party/alliance can go through and farm for certain high end items that can further augment or modify Empy gear and weapons.

The direction the game took, however, turns this into a near impossiblity.

Uh... not quite. I could probably use real world examples, but since I'd like to limit this to a discussion on the FFXI economy, any time you kill a mob and it drops gil or you NPC an item for gil, that injects gil into the economy, and in controlled amounts, that's not a bad thing.

Large, sudden, and uncontrolled amounts of currency that were being injected into the economy with cruor farming was a bad thing rather.

[Mirage]

Yeah. Creating gil isn't inherently bad, considering the game also has mechanisms of removing gil from circulation as well. However, cruor-gil is like being rewarded with money for going to the toilet to take a dump.

[Rambus]

It does not need to be a lot, just enough to encourage people that do not need to exp go exping so finding an exp party is not like pulling teeth to people who need it.

If you do not like that idea I suppose we can go back to pre abyssea exp gain so there where always a pt to be found. Or have events where you ACTUALLY LOSE exp like in old FFXI.

And I was told the cour to gil stuff was nerfed because of RMT

cruor farming doesn't help XP pt since cruor PT focus on "reverse chain" (never kill same monster twice in a row)

Is CRUOR that hard to properly spell?

[Caketime]

Yes, Cruor is difficult to spell. The old man calls it "queer".

I agree with this post, completely.
