Its happened :/ - resorted to new character for Gil.

If playing the game is boring to you, I don't understand why you play. That's the game.

If SE gives each player 10k/day, the economy will inflate, and everything will then be too expensive on the Market Boards, and you'll be here whining about THAT.

Craft 1 99 stack of leather on your LW, and you'll have 3 days worth of repair bills.

luckily i have eveything at 50. sadly i cant repair other peoples craft no any longer horde DM's from instance fights or gatherings. i do how ever lol at people saying lvl a craft to make gil.. yes we can make gil by crafting but even then your gil income gets done over by total asshats who just dump a load of stuff on the ah undercutting everyone by xxx amount then the next guy does the same and so on, u cant vene break even by dumping your mass produced lvl items onto the npc's i wouldnt like to be new players trying to lvl 1/all crafts to 50 tbh, V1 was much easier even if we did have a shite tonne of mats for most synths at least you could break even at npc's.

i do think they have kinda broken the influx of gil into the game personally, no where near as easy to make the gil of V1 imo atm with so many low players flooding the markets with gather/craft items

[ReithDynamis]

Can you please direct me to the instructions from the developers that explains how this game is meant to be played? And you got 570k from crafting, or from selling things on the market?.

lol, people used to have to figure this out on thier own. maybe people shouldnt have triex to lvl to 50 without figuring out the game first lol.

All in all, we can all agree that to make money for your repair is going to take a lot of effort or smart marketing. I think that part is fine.
The economy in the game is going to decline eventually though, Legacy servers won't notice it in a long time, but new ones will eventually.

Don't forget that dying only lowers durability by 2%. You'd have to die 50 times to fully break your gear and I would be very surprised if you could do that in a 90 min dungeon.
I can see the issue of people wanting to only do dungeons and still be able to afford repair bills, but this game just sadly won't be able to give you that.

The game is relatively new and I'm pretty sure SE will add more gil fountains into the game with new content patches. There has already been talk about daily quests (not leves) so we'll just have to wait and see.


PS. Spoken by a new person to the game playing on a Legacy server. I know the issues of gil earnings very well.

you also lose 1% every 2-3 mobs you kill in case you did not know.

I was trying to point it at sacrifice runs and primal fights. If you get a kill on a primal fight you're good

Right now most of this issue with Gil just sounds like whining to me, I mean my god the game has actually been out for 2 weeks today. Sounds like a whole lota ppl need to stop this rush for for there end game bling and flesh out their character and figure out how to make gil. If the repair bills are really that high then maybe take a break and do something else.

What a waste of this great game, beautiful world and story line to just run the same dungeon over and over again and then complain it is costing to much and u cant make gil. Even legacy players with all lvl 50 still have the story lines and quest for each job to experiance and complete.

My net worth has more than doubled since early access, so I don't think its the game. I think older players need to adjust and re-evaluate play style, this is not version 1.0. Why not try spending some of the effort you put into running those dungeons into making gil.

I decided to make alts to sustain me some fat checks until this issue is fixed....

How do you send the money from your alt to your main? Cause it would sure help me to cover some AH fees.

[Fluttercrash]

I haven't had any gil issues so far since I leveled monk to 50 but also leveled leatherworker to 50 quickly afterwards.

I'm still concerned though, because pretty much ALL of my gil comes from other players. Once you're done questing, the gil rewards from leves and FATEs amount to an extremely small income.

So...what happens when the number of new players dwindles and the vast majority of people are raiding?

I'm doing great right now, making an easy 100k daily in profits off the AH by just taking a few minutes out of my day to craft 3-4 things, but I'm not sure what's going to happen when no one can afford to buy anything I sell.

If you have limited playtime, you shouldn't be breaking your gear so fast. If you have time to break your gear you have time to level a crafter.

A game should encourage people to play in a way that's enjoyable to them. Just because you can level a crafting class does not mean you should be required to. This is an MMO, and a great deal of people play MMOs for the dungeon and raid crawling, not to sit all by their lonesome and HQ a bunch of stuff.
