Finally, someone who actually wants to discuss.

I disagree that this is a flaw in my argument since I know numerous Legacy players who had trouble even making gil in v1. Legacy servers are not swimming in gil, and you can safely assume that item costs in our MW are accordingly higher simply because we have more to spend. The problem would still exist, only scaled up.

And did you ask them what they spent all their gil on? Or how wisely they spent it? Saying players are broke doesn't really prove anything by itself; like I said, I knew people who were broke in v1 when there were copious ways to make gil quickly and easily.

You say "there is no way" but what I think you mean is "I have not found a way."

Is it or is it not your choice to spend an hour wiping to hard mode encounters rather than making money to save up to pay repair costs?
