Gil Issues @ 50

[Jynxii]

-snip-

You make some solid points, and indeed the gym analogy isn't really a good one (if anyone has a better one, feel free to share), however unless explicitly told, you are given the impression that you can (to use your example) sit on the bike for 6 hours a day. You were never told otherwise, and are now in a contract paying for a service you were mislead to believe would cover what you were after, but simply does not. I am quite aware that crafting/gathering is a part of the game, and I am far less frazzled about the whole ordeal than some players, but (to my knowledge) it was never stated that you had to partake in gathering/crafting in order to maintain one section of the game. People are still in their free month, and arguably haven't been milked out of any money, but again, they also aren't tied to a contract.

You pretty much summed up my point perfectly; people will leave if the service isn't what they are after (want to spam dungeons, forced to do other parts they have no interest in). Again, this is arguably better for the community, but not so much for Square's bottom line.

That's not the problem, the problem is that the game was promised to hand out to you everything and it stops handing you money at end-game. There's no gil generation from an exploitable source to inflate the economy.

Everyone forgets fates and levequest. They are repeatable and so are the earnings. The amount of money from quest is not limited since MANY quest are repeatable. The allowance on quest per day is no doubt in place to stop spamming and farming. Now quit looking for easy money and just enjoy the damn game ppl

If you think the gil seller problem is bad imagine if they could bot cleverest without restriction. I see no problem with the current manner of earning gil aside from player laziness

I'm a handsome Elezen! Who cannot get into the game. I therefore wish to impart some poop on your thread.

*poops in your thread*

ah, I thought I was missing something. My mistake, send me the "How to Correctly Play FFXIV" guide that Square Enix wrote because I can't seem to find it.

I can't blame you, since it is currently only available in Japan.

I thought this game is 16+, or the current teen generation is so bad at economy? No wonder the current world economy.

Personal Wealth =/= Economy.

As a non-50 I have a couple quick questions.

How long does it take for your gear to go from 100-0 durability doing dungeons?

Whats the repair cost at 0 durability for a vender repair?

Whats the average gil and seals generated from on high level fate?

i don't craft/gather, i don't like to do it in ANY MMO i play. Difference between this and other MMOs - is that in other MMOs devs have thought about people like me and implemented ways to make money without crafting. Not all people like to craft just as not all people like to play support classes.

I think we are all doing it wrong, somewhere. No way to prove of economy deflation or lack thereof. One thing to note, the prices for most things were dropped from 1.0 to 2.0. If you have bought anything from the market you may have overpaid and is why you are feeling like there isn't enough money out there. No one should be paying 10k for a body piece worth 2k.

I'm getting so tired of seeing so many people who fail at basic economics, it makes me sad. OP's sig is very ironic.

The problem with the 50 economy is that I shouldn't have to choose. If I choose to run dungeons in a group and we don't wipe I shouldn't have to pay more in repair then what I earned in the dungeon. Yoshi has stressed that you should be able to play the game in anyway and not be forced into doing something that you find boring. Significant repair costs should only come from dying and not from doing the day to day to stuff.
