MAJOR AQUAPOLIS QUESTION!

So I was doing another run of aquapolis which I love this dungeon instance cause I getting rich off it (literally). Then I started to wonder with all the people farming aquapolis and getting rich or richer just like me. Will the instance start throwing off the in game balance of gill?

So much "gill" we can all go swimming.

Not that im aware of no

don't you think sooner or later every player will have every minion, gear, etc that they want and still farming aquapolis to keep getting more gill, basically we will come to a point where all players are rich and don't need anything. then what happens? imbalance

There really isnt much use for gil other than repairs and teleports outside of mere convenience. You can't buy top tier gear (you can buy mid tier gear I guess at the beginning of a new battle oriented patch cycle but those who would make genuine use of it probably already have access to a network of crafters). I mean housing is a crapshoot to get into and I cant really think of any other big gil sink that would create any sort of imbalance on. Or are you just worried your big number wont mean anything at some point (hint: it doesnt mean anything as it is now).

That's not imbalance at all, if it were to happen. Quite the opposite.

Also your idea of rich isn't probably right; I'm sittin on roughly 150m (not exact cause it's not all on one character) and I don't consider myself either rich or hard-working at gil-making.

And most of the money from aquapolis isn't even in aquapolis; it's been from gear made from stuff there you'd need at least 2* crafting for.

the term: "get rich quick" and stay rich I guess doesn't apply to aquapolis.

No content is and will ever be able to break the gil balance on your server. They can easily adjust the balance with market fees for example.

Considering you need luck to see those minions drop AND beat everyone's roll for it, along with the other stuff dropped from the maps, there won't really be an imbalance anytime soon.

The main rush and newness of aquapolis is gone on balmung, least from map sales on the MB. Dragonskin maps were like 40k then went up to 100k+ but now they back down to like 44k. There also really no such thing as to rich to throw off the game balance cause gil pretty have has no value in game as there no gil sinks besides housing which is not even a gil sink cause lot of players expect to get their gil back when they done/don't want their house anymore.

While Aquapolis is great for farming gil, its best for capping lore due to how quick and easy it is. Everyone in the party can get 2 maps and you wont be done with all of them by the time you hit your weekly cap of lore.

Not to mention its great for materia and shards/crystals/clusters when you get treasure goblin or argus spawns.

If anyone were to farm them for gil it would be people who do not have a crafting class that pays for itself and otherwise have a harder time making money.

On JP server it actually helping you to become rich. Dragonskin map was around 50k now it's 19k.

That's still going to take you ages to make 100m, and that's not rich.

At least it help some decent income player to afford things like crafter gear or vanity (Not talking about house).

Comparatively, the addition of mhachi matter is 100x more of a source of income for the type of player not good at making money any other way. Basically a free 400k a week and if you're not in at least a midcore raid group you don't need to be melding tier 5's.
