    2. FATE grinding: FATEs right now generate a (extremely) small influx of gil, but what happens when most players hit the lv50 range (oh and this is VERY possible, as it happened in FFXI)? Repairs of their gear goes through the damn roof and FATEs become unable to sustain those repair costs. In addition, the amount of gil going into repairs for players overall will overshadow the amount of gil being generated by FATEs over time. Dungeons themselves eat up durability and the gil drop from those sometimes doesn't even amount to one of your items repair bill. Allagan pieces are far and few in between during lv45-50 dungeons and 90% of the time, it's Bronze or Tin pieces, which is laughable.

    (cont. Also, what is with this text limit?)

    3. No, selling on the Market Boards does not generate gil. Keyword here people: GENERATE. It EXCHANGES gil between players (with a 5% gil vanish as noted above), but it does not GENERATE it.

    The sad reality is that people are focusing on both their personal wealth and the present state of affairs rather than looking a few months or even weeks down the line. We're up shit creek without a paddle, and there's really going to need to be more gil fountains if the game economy is to sustain itself.

    Whether it is hard or not to get money I don't care. SE needs to make a fun way of making gil, this bs that crafting and leveling a doh is the only way to go is just bleh. Give me my sky gods/enms/bcnms back so I can solo content that is awesomely fun while making gil at the same time. People talk shit about some who ask for more FFXI things because it feels like work grinding this or that, well getting gil in this feels worse than all the other stuff imo and if anything this needs to be fixed because it is boring.

    I am pretty sure this was done on purpose by SE. They want to be careful in the beginning and collect data and metrics to see how the gil and what amount of it flows through the game.

    It´s better this way and then to adjust values (like repair COSTs) downwards later on to increase gil flow when necessary.

    Then have it like what happened in so many other MMOs that endgame players were generating massive amounts of Money early on in the game and then have an already heavily inflated economy. Which ends up nearly impossible to be fixed in the end, as it leaves the early players With stockpiles of cash and New players joining the game screwed and unable to afford anything anymore.

    So I am pretty sure SE sees current problems at endgame and you will probably see adjustments to either gil earnings or repair costs in a coming patch.

    I came in as a legacy player 21 carp and made one bow and it cost me around 500g to make the bow and it sold for 39 gil on the market...ridiculous....how are we suppose to make money in this game...

    Fates give us nothing
    Harvesting gives you nothing
    defeating primals in normal mode gives you nothing

    the game is great but at this rate your gonna have rage quitting overthis
    this is certainly different from 1.0 but this time in a bad way....fix this SE

    the less money people make the more GIL sellers will run rampant in your game count on it.

    Good for you but not everyone wants to go the crafting route we should have more options on making GIL some people can stay home
