Gil Issues @ 50

[Bouteiller]

Why has no one touched on the fact that the OP is psycho and has many 50s? We are all listening to the rants of a champion shut in. The OP wants the rest of us who don't do as he does to feel bad because we don't do "work" in a game. Let's all take 5 minutes to think about how insane that statement sounds.

The solution is probably going to come in the form of reduced repair bills or increased gil rewards for leves to help counter balance. Crafting and Gathering should be fun and not "work". Although it blows my mind there are creatures on here that try to shame you for not doing them.

This pathetic WoW generation is working so hard to ruin gaming forever.

Get over yourselves already. This self entitlement has to stop. Stop crying and demanding the game to be dumbed down to your level of laziness and ineptitude. MMORPG's are supposed to take work and effort. no legit MMO was ever designed for you to jump in, do mindless speed grinding to 50 in one week, and be rich at the same time. Get your lazy butts out there and earn some gil.

What about those of us that play the game... for fun..?

I'm not saying there should be a little effort into earning some gil to cover repairs. But I find the "well go level your crafting up!!!" argument stupid as hell.

I've played games that required a huge time sink, that was fun when I was younger and didn't have responsibilities outside of "making sure I am able to fund my repairs if a few friends and myself want to do a few dungeons later."

It shouldn't be a crime to take one day out of dungeon farming to concentrate on making gil instead, whether it be crafting or any other method. This was always standard in MMO's, and shouldn't be nothing new to any MMO gamer.

The stupidity in this post is beyond amazing.

So, by your logic, everyone should dedicate a hefty amount of time into crafting. Tell me, once everyone has their crafting leveled up and don't need you, or any other crafter, how do you intend on making any profit?

Have you even read any of the legitimate concerns?? Just because someone is/was level 50, has absolutely zero bearing on their concern.

I'm not against questing or whatever to earn gil. I'm not even disagreeing that crafting is a good source of PERSONAL income.

I'm disagreeing with the whole "well level a crafter!" argument. Hell I don't even "dungeon" grind all day. One or two dungeons cost between 1.5, and 2.5k gil for me. I don't even let things break completely.

4 leves net me around 1.5k or so after repairing.

I'd have to limit myself to one dungeon per day if I wanted to come out ahead at all, and then it is minor. Crafting should not be the "go to" because like myself, and many others have stated, if everyone has crafting leveled, there is no use for myself, or anyone else to purchase anything you have created and posted.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
