We need more ways to make gold in this game.

Hey, good job trying to sound smart and all, but you still completely miss the point the OP is trying to make.

Great point.

You'd think with people like this who think they're quasi economists the world wouldn't be in such dire straits financially right? Greece and Spain wouldn't be broke, there would be no more unemployed people. We would all be part of the 1% by now right?

EDIT: Think people missed the point. I was saying that the guy I quoted had a good point. People like the person that he quoted all act like they're quasi economists. Makes me wonder about this forum sometimes, if people are that inept or just that on edge due to all the log in issues.

Great point. You'd think with this many quasi economists the world wouldn't be in such dire straits financially right? Greece and Spain wouldn't be broke, there would be no more unemployed people. We would all be part of the 1% by now right?

Good thing a video game economy is exactly like a real economy, totally a fair comparison.

Not only did you not get the point but now you are trying to derail the thread with off-topic junk? Come on guys.

Point: More gil is disappearing from the world than entering the world. It doesn't matter that one individual has more than another because they sold a bunch of stuff. In the end, the total volume of gil in the world is shrinking day by day.

I'm amazed at the number of people (yourself included) who try to compare a game world economy with real world economics.

You are completely missing the point of an extremely simple concept. FF14 permanently removes currency from the game world, real economies do not.

Teleports, Air Ships, Chocobo Porters, Auction House transactions, Repair Costs all permanently destroy gil and remove it from the world.

Please explain to me what similar systems are set up in real world economies that permanently take away and destroy money. (This is rhetorical, there are no systems that function like this, please don't junk up the thread with more useless garbage.)
