Gil cap increase?

Wouldn't increasing the maximum store of gil in the FC chest (suggested: 9,999,999,999) or/and increase player/retainer gil cap possibly alleviate RMT occurrences? IDK why but I'm under the impression that a lot of RMT cases stem from not knowing what to do with all that excess gil that's bound to pile up over years of play, like it or not.

Even with 50-million-gil mounts, they're not helping much as to put a dent in the overflowing piles of gil!

I think this would be one of the best QoL improvements, to me personally.

What do you think?

If you really don't have a use for all that gil, I'd accept donations.

I think SE should just take all the players gil away and let them start from 0. Then there wouldn't be any of your problems and everyone would be equal!

most RMT is from botfarms that complete portions of the game on free trial over and over, then use stolen credit cards to change to full acounts, then sell both the free trial farmed gold and the millions of exp from the MSQ.

That RMT actually comes from people, just aint true.

How would increasing the gil cap resolve the stated problem of players at current gil cap not having anything to do with all their gil? All you've done is give them more gil with nothing to use it on.

This is of course ignoring the absurd premise that players at gil cap are at all the source of any significant amount of RMT sold gil.

It's far more likely that players at gil cap are more willing to just dump it on any old random thing without a second thought, because those are the players that most easily return to gil cap. They'll be the ones literally gambling away millions on something as simple as a /dice.

Just to add to the thing others mentioned, gil amount can't physically exceed 2,147,483,647 (max signed 32 bit int) unless they double the data size to 64 bits. SE is probably thrilled to increase the data flow per character just for few people and most of which is empty data.

You can solve your gil problems by buying my pizza on Midgardsormr for 55m a piece. Best pizza you've ever had or half your money back! Buy it from Fund-a-Crafter to be eligible for returns.

SE would be better off removing the items that have no purpose other than being sold to vendors for gil or reducing their Sell to Vendor value to 10 gil.

i just want a better gil sink. sitting here on close to 250M and nothing to do with it

I like Gil, the more 9's the better.
