Who wants to be a Gillionaire?

My guess is that anyone who has spent that much time in game would be hindering their RL personal finances. I don't think it would be that hard to master the market board if you could play the game most of the day and didn't have kids, job, life, or in a relationship. This seems to be that your sacrificing your real life for this game, 2 and a half years. Also, a thought that an mmo can become a serious addiction.

Watch out, Mr. Serious on the Rise

But now tell me: Why should preferences that you set for your own life be the standard for someone else? Or why should anyone be pitied - or seen socially less worth then others - for being able to play as much as they like to?

tl;dr:

There's the door - gtfo

awesome! I hope to get a decent gil eventually. Im broke AF, then again I started a whole 3 months ago. But the time has come to begin crafting and selling. Setting my goals small and working my way up. And just because someone has a ton of gil, doesent mean they have no life. I play a lot and still have time to go out and "play" at night by chasing down poon (in which case I swear off alcohol the next day while glaring at my screen) cheers!

Edit: Oh and if you're money is even close to legit on this, you'll learn real quick not to brag about it on forums. Trust me. A lot of the people on my server already know me, but things like this tend to make you look incredibly boastful and full of yourself, even if you aren't. Not a lot of people can deal with others having more success than they do, and will trash you as much as they possibly can to make themselves feel better.

Because its the max amount that you can carry at one time. (retainer or character)

Thanks for the advice and you are right. I already know the possible outcome. The better way is to remain low profile and blends in with the furniture. I been doing that for the past years. In a way I'm aware of what's to come before clicking that post button. Years of MMO and forums has taught us that majority would come at you for the sake of coming at you when you put up a sensitive shoutout/milestone. But sometime all work and no play makes Jane a dull girl. Its a risk I'm willing to take with the community. :) And I'm glad to my surprise, some are able to take it positively.

Hehe. Im all ears if you want some current patch market analysis and potential category to work on. Sometime going for the big and and hot things aren't necessary the best approach. You tend to do more work for the same result just to be in the same ship of a overcrowded vessel. Find alternate route to market that you yield you the same result with lesser competition. And of the day, its all about profit and losses (P&L). Not how many items you sold in quantity. Best of luck.

I only have 4m, you've made me set a goal for myself, 200m by the end of the year o.o Hopefully i can do it lol...

Congratulation Xiao. If someone could do it. It was this amazing lalafell. xD

This is nowhere close to true from the Xiao I remember.
The shenanigans that we had every now and then. xD

And you were calling me hardcore for my chocobo achievement.
You just had to crank it up to 11. :P

Titan weapon on your retainer. You kept your good taste. c:

I want to be a Gillionaire.

:(

Grats Xiao! I've always tried to balance crafting and raiding and can never find as much time to craft as i'd like. I'm curious, as someone who has dedicated their playtime to gil farming, What are you DOW/DOM achievements in FFXIV so far? Can you give us a little backstory on your raiding experiences etc.

I know alot of very wealthy players who make alot from Selling Content and have always been curious if other Career Crafters suppliment some of their income this way.

Gz little lala~
I'm almost there! I really enjoy the crafting & intricate subsystems in this game too.
Not so much the marketpvp though ; ;

Did you ever get that feeling of burning out?
The most efficient path isn't always the most fun one, sorta thing.
For me it's always been about total throughput, bulk crafts + sheer volume.
But when shards rise or materials dry up it's a little frustrating; a forced change in playstyle.

Hardcore savings techniques are the best techniques.
