We need a xiv token

A wow token/runescape bond equivalent

There is just no place to spend all the gil players have, the inflation is insane.

Atleast give us an auction house mount for gil cap or something like that

You can spend it on all the expensive gold mounts they keep adding.

Not to mention a lot of rewards - mounts, minions, glam, decorations etc can be bought on the market board instead of earning it from the content through RNG.

If you have gil to spend after that, then maybe you should consider that you earn more than you actually need and that this is uniquely your problem.

I'd rather have something like the Well of Goodwill from RuneScape. Let players just toss their gil down this well, and in return give the entire server a random buff (kinda like FC buffs) for a certain amount of time. That's a lot more constructive than just letting players straight up buy gil.

A ffxiv token wouldnt work
Gil is worthless and its so easy to get, they would be making no sub money as the average player nowadays has at least 300m or more because even if you had gil cap, theres still nothing to spend your money on

I actually like this idea. I had also mentioned in another forum (questing or lore, forgot which) the idea of paying Lolorito to build more aetherytes around the world.

If the average player has 300m gil, I'm definitely a sub par player lmao

The average player doesnt even have 10 millions, I have no idea what you are on about, that's why most people are unable to bid on medium and large houses.

Now that I think about it, they could put it in Kugane. Do the whole "offering to the kami" thing. It'd be so simple to implement.

The average player who's not playing 20hrs/day and doesn't come up with nolife video game gold making schemes doesn't even have 10% of that.

They should add more expensive mounts, glams and stuff like that.

50 million for a token for gametime. Make it happen.

My €10.99/month subscription is great.

I remember the WoW era, it sucks to farm 3 weeks to have fun for free... It's still cheaper than your junk food menu or a Twitch Turbo subscription.

You could just buy a xiv token and have gil that way to spend on mounts/glam/minions this is good for the game and casual player, it only slightly hurts hardcore players.

Blizzard makes more money when people utilize the WoW token.
One player pays blizzard $20 for a token, and then trades it to another player for gold, who activates it for $15 worth of subscription time (or store credit).
The quantity of gold exchanged is irrelevant, while Blizzard makes an extra $5 per token overall.

That gil sellers exist indicate that some players do value gil enough to spend real money to get it.

Yeah totally, that's why WoW is above FFXIV in subscription numbers and still on an upward trend since DF.

funny that they don't release player numbers anymore, also the WoW playerbase is split among many different versions of the game.

Let me buy Phials of Fantasia out of the marketboard
Let me ruin my in-game economy instead of my real life economy with my fantablobbism

Give it to me. I never have enough.

Nah
WoW token was a mistake, you should never open those floodgates to being able to just straight up buy ingame currency.

Nobody even has that amount because there's no point to getting gil to begin with.

THANKYOU!
I was trying to think of a good way to put that and you nailed it. XD

Having a FFXIV sub token would indeed work AND it will kill off much of the bot spam. (It did in WoW)
Time poor players with lots of IRL cash can score gil legit.
IRL Cash poor players can score in game time.

Best of both worlds and it costs SE nothing but dev time to implement as every token is still paid for by someone using real cash, Hell, in WoW Tokens case it costs a little more than a normal sub to buy so in reality it was more of a capital boost than people buying their normal sub and didnt utilize the discounts for buying multiple months at reduced rates as happens with the Subs.
