Gil is worthless.

if gil is so worthless why do people run gil extortion venues and rmt and have entire wards owned with shell fcs owned by one person to hoard all the gil?

Because some weird people in the community enjoy it for the flex? I don't try to understand the RP community or their motivations anymore.

lol 300mil gil ? thats like a few mounts and pets on the Market Board.

Seriously OP it has no value FOR YOU meanwhile im here constantly broke because im trying to collect all the pets and Mounts and im buying some of the rarer more RNG or grindy ones from the marketboard.
Or im constantly buying Cosmetics on the Marketboard.
Just because OP does not want to spend it on for stuff that are meant to be spent it on does not mean its worthles.

You know how much your 300mil gil worth on the market board ? almost nothing some pets and Mounts START at like 40 Mil and it just goes up from there.

"Gil is useless" till dawntrail is out and the Gil becomes useful again

Also this.
New expansions means
New craftable and Sellable gear
New sellable Pets and Mounts
New sellable cosmetics

The real Gil Drain is mostly in the Market Board.

And i like it that way Because GIL is NOT a Necesety for anykind of progression its more an optional side thing to worry about.
Compared to many other MMOs wher if you don't have Hundreds of thousands or millions of gold you are locked out of META Best in Slot gear for months til either you craft it or RNG is in your favor in the raid run.
Yeah F that.

To anyone that says Gil is worthless, feel free to meet up with me and donate all this "worthless" currency so I can put it to better use.

Tbh, 300 mil isn't even that much.

Why does the OP sound like the kind of person that would get up in arms to defend scalpers and trust funds while bragging about their degree in Economics? So far, everything they've proposed only benefits a very minor part of the population and in a very abstract way while hindering the rest with no visible payoff.

Not to mention most earnings nowadays are passive, coming from subaquatic voyages. If SE wanted gil to have more impact, they would be shifting the bulk of the gil earning back to gatherers and crafters.

The low value of gil would only be a trouble if it actually caused a meaningful inflation in the MB, which it really doesn't since, like gil, most products are virtually unlimited too.
