YOSHI FIX THE DANG GIL ISSUE THAT IS KILLING OUR PLAYERS!!!

[Breladine]

I made 100k in the last few days just selling the stuff that was dropped off mobs on the AH with my retainer. That's after I use my gil constantly to teleport around everywhere because I'm lazy. I haven't touched a crafter, I'm just selling things from my bag on the market block, nothing more. I'm baffled by people saying they have money problems? I don't get it.

That's your Personal Wealth what's being addressed is the Economy.

Currently the economy is the problem, there are more gil sinks than there are ways to add "new gil."

Where did you get that 100k? From someone who gave you it. The money shifted, it was not created and 5% of it was lost immediately (which is 5k gone)

So if people did what you did with that same amount of gil, it would just be 100k-5%, 95k- 5%, 90k - 5%85k - 5% eventually it hits so low and 0 and all the money has been removed from the economy. But what do you do with that 100k? You go spend it on repairs, or vender materials, which removes it from economy.

The amount being completely removed from the game INSANELY outweights the amount going into the game due to dry'd up systems.

You have completely misunderstood the point, no one has issues making money of the AH, the AH does not generate new money, it removes %5 of existing money and shifts the money to another person, Therefor reducing and moving, nothing else, Zero increase in general wealth.

edit: sorry its 10% from AH, so:

100k of stuff sold. You buy 100k of stuff
90k is passed, they buy 90k of stuff
81k is passed, they buy 81k of stuff
72.9k is passed, they buy 72.9k of stuff
65k is passed, they buy 65k of stuff,
59k is passed, they buy 50k of stuff,
53k is passed, they buy 53k of stuff,
47k is passed.

7 (not including first net gain) transactions using the same gil circling the economy and already the game has removed over half of it. This is same no matter number
500k only takes 7 transactions to go down to 239k, so the game has removed 261k of gil, how is it getting back into the economy?
Is there enough people doing fates/quests and selling on AH (to start the cycle of their new income) that out weights how quickly 500k passes through 7 transactions?

big problem.
