I actively study economics. I'll be happy to have an economic debate with you anytime but for now let me make these points. You are obviously clueless and have poor reading comprehension. People seem to keep joining both of the topics of making personal money vs gil generation overall. I addressed both of these topics. You are making endless assumptions based on ZERO evidence. You have NO clue how much gil is actually generated. SE DOES. If it really was as bad as you say, the economy of the marketplace and the actions of each player would reflect that. SE obviously can tell how much gil fluctuates through the economy. Until SE comes out with a statement saying that more gil is going out than coming in and they will make adjustments accordingly, quit making baseless assumptions. They just make you and everyone else here look stupid.
