    What do you even need gil for? Repairs? Food that almost no one uses?
    Dungeon gear is easy to obtain and outclasses almost anything crafted, not to mention how stupidly fast you'll level out of your gear. End game? Again, dungeon gear, and then darklight is incredibly fast and easy to obtain. Even AF beats out most crafted stuff. Maybe if materia melding wasn't made all but obsolete by the new caps, crafted gear would have more of a place. As is, the only classes that need crafted gear are the same ones who can probably make it themselves.

    So how are you magically sustaining yourself at level 50 if you think repairs are so obsolete we are all curious to hear this from you.

    Repairs don't cost much. >.> The junk you get from dungeons easily pays for that.

    Jumping to conclusions too quickly..

    The game has been live for 10 days? There are always going to be some new players adding new Gil to the economy. Also, what about craft mats only obtainable via battle?

    The sense that I get from the economy is that battle classes are Gil sinks; however, crafting classes have a number of ways to bring Gil into the economy. This would make crafters reliant on BC for mats, providing Gil for repairs which allows the crafters to convert mats into Gil.

    It's simply too early to see if the balance is off. In a month, if everyone is still going broke then it will be time to adjust things.
