Is there a future?

[Vold]

To be honest, Choco. Blinkers HAD to change; there is no bleak future except for players who can no longer manipulate a system oversight which allowed the direct "creation" of currency. And of all the things to be upset about, that? Really?

The problem wasn't the gil, it was the more or less "free" cruor being generated which then could be converted into gil. It took out the whole "stop what you're doing and farm gil to work for nice things" aspect of the game which SE has always put a high value on. Nothing more or less. We're meant to create gil by selling junk to NPCs, and whether we like it or not SE reserves the right to say, yeah that's okay to do or whoa whoa whoa we didn't intend for people to fund relics via cruor. Better to nerf the gil than the cruor.

Thing is, cruor did what SE couldn't for many years: Kill off RMT. Oh sure they still exist but really, who's still buying gil? The level 52-99 casual RDM that plays a hour a week struggling to catch up? Insignificant.
