*Sigh* You just don't get it, apparently. 2 to 5% tax is so minuscule that calling it a gil sink is laughable, especially since using the market board isn't required for this in the slightest.

A gil sink is a REQUIRED cost to be spent that does not go to another player.

Then why are these people complaining about market board costs? If they weren't lazy they wouldn't have a problem getting all the mats themselves and having it made.

Also, since other people are saying it: IF ANYONE HERE IS ON HYPERION LOOK ME UP AND I WILL CRAFT FOR YOU. I can make Kingcakes and Titanium Alloy Mirrors. Also Blessed Fletchings, which are used to make dispelling arrows (I think).

2% of 6 million is 120,000 gil. There are estimated what like 500k players? Let's say 10% of them do the relic, so 50k, let's say 50% of them buy the mats so 25k. (These are random numbers for the sake of argument) 25k x 120k = 3 billion gil. Seems like a fairly decent gil sink to me.

Taxes are a gil sink, the same as teleporation costs are a gil sink. Teleporation is not required to play the game, but people use it for convenience - as they do the Market Board.

I don't like that you keep calling me lazy. It's an aspect of the game that I abhor and have no desire to take part in it. Is there a part of the game that you hate with a passion?
