Cruor Burning into Massive gil

For there to be inflation, there has to be things people want to buy.
The only reason people nowadays would purchase gil would be to complete a Relic or a Mythic. Very few trophy pieces even exist anymore that can be purchased; Kraken Club and uhhhh, that new Double Attack belt?

With all the R/E shit out now, gil is kinda meh. At least how I play

Inflation is a macro economics term that refers to a relative increase in total currency (in use) versus total actual goods/services. The relative or actual desirability of goods in general or any individual good or service has nothing to do with global inflation rates as long as currency is still being used and goods / services are still being consumed.

For there to be inflation, there has to be things people want to buy.

Therefore, this is wrong.

It's actually not entirely wrong. Gil that is out of circulation is effectively not taking part in the economy. Players A, B, and C who keep max gil on their mules are actually increasing the value of gil because there is effectively less gil in circulation when they hoard it than if they spent it all on relics/mythics/empyreans and put it back into the hands of farmers.

I see no problem with converting cruor into gil. It's a game. I don't care if people want to spend time farming cruor then spend time converting it into gil. It's not as if there's a "create gil" button they're pressing.

Ive recently noticed people taking their mules and main chars to abyssea, burning their cruor on armor, then npcing it for gil. This seems ok normally but i noticed some people are doing it on a large scale and making massive amounts of gil.

Is this against the terms of service? I know someone whos made a ton of gil doing this with his three mules, all he does is exp in abys and npc the gear. I told him it sounds exploitish and he better be careful before he gets SALVAGE'd, but hes certain its ok

has anyone else noticed this becoming a trend and surely this isn't okay with the tos right? Curious is all. The Gm i talked to seemed to think it was a non-issue as well lol

If you talk to a GM and they said it wasn't wrong why make this thread?

If someone wants to spend a bunch of time killing mobs, amassing tons of cruor, then spending a bunch of time converting it to blinkers (or gear for even less) and npc'ing it for gil by all means go ahead. It isn't hurting anyone now is it? It's alot less exploitative than using the oldskool bots to screw over people for big ticket items. The cruor/items/npc are there for a reason. I don't think the ToS states what you have to spend stuff on. Would you be crying if someone spent hours upon hours farming some random item just to npc? It's the same damn thing. Spamming items for gil. I've converted a bunch of cruor i didn't feel i needed for gil and if i had more characters i would have done even more. It's a pretty easy way to make money while i do my usual stuff, saves the the hassle of making gil some boring ass way.

The whole RMT thing is getting a little long in the tooth. They've been pretty much swept off to the corner to cater to a very small group and as far as i've seen, aren't disruptive anymore, at least no more than a single group doing anything will disrupt you (a single bst in dynamis fighting beside you can make you groan). Back in the day they were all over the place camping everything worth a damn causing a ruckus. Now they hang out in altepa fell-cleaving for gil and hanging out in dynamis? Where else is the infestation? Their influence has diminished down to %^&* all imho.

This is what I mean. I'm sitting on 15 million right now with nothing to buy at all. Thats pretty much server gil -15 mil

Even if I was to agree there was inflation going on, I'm saying that no one would even care

edit: fixed lol

Whoa, I didn't say that, Byrth did. XD

All I can see is OP crying about not having lots of gil.

[Runespider]

RMT (and poor players supplementing their irl income with RMT) will basically bloat on these means of making gil, they will put themselves out of business because gil is so easy to make now they will have more than they can possibly sell and they will be making gil for no reason.

Very few people care the way they used to about RMT, they don't really hurt anyone and the economy is hilarious now anyway so who cares.
