OK... I am a bit confused, who buys gil anymore nowadays. Before the update, making gil is so freakingly easy that you do not even need to buy gil, since it is overflowing right and left. Now they are killing EVERYONE in the game to the point that casual players will have to buy gil to even have a chance. I mean seriously, after TWO WHOLE YEARS, they finally did this????? A lot of the good gears are actually rare/ex, most you cannot just bot farm them but have to have a full alliance to be able to get them to drop. Dynamis currency is soloable. Gil was never a problem for two whole years since Abyssea arrived. Why now??? This is beyond retarded. What RMT are they worrying about exactly?
