Please Stop Crying About Personal Gil Insufficiency Issues.

[Leonas]

gil hasnt really been a problem for me! I actually plan to do a gill guide later...i have made 10+ mill since first two weeks but i have crafts leveled and im on legacy so that might make a huge difference but a person should be able to net 500k + a day with a normal job not including crafting

Mmmm.. the magic words you have spoken. Legacy. Where all the legacy players came over with huge loads of money.
If your guide includes anything with, " Craft this, or gather this and sell on Market Board. " Then you missed the point as to whats the actual problem endgame. NOt meaning to give offense, just tired.
Thank god maintence is lowering repair costs. I can finally be able to break even on trying to keep up with my wife on her Ambador Keep/Palace spam.

I keep hoping these threads will die since SE announced that they'll be changing repair costs. However, your post has intrigued me. I would really, really like to know how a player can net 500k per day without crafting.

*Sits and turns undivided attention to Drakzen*

I'm waiting.....

He already said the reason. Legacy server. From what I hear and understand, legacy players are sitting on huggeeee piles of money from 1.0 so they're willing to by things on Market for prices any of us on non legacy would die of a heart attack at seeing.

But he said 'not including crafting'

That's what makes me so curious ^^

Maybe legacy players are willing to spend ginormous amounts of just straight materials ( Gatherer, not craft. ) and/or the materials from palace. Those by themselves sell for 10k on Ultros at certain times. Only way I've been able to keep afloat of the repairs depleting my savings.

Honestly, I see no other way unless its just wildly faked numbers. ;p

the whole point of this thread is if you are having a problem with somthing in the game, dont whine about it, get up and do somthing about it. maybe im wrong about somthing things, i dont care, but i strongly believe that whining for the developers to cave in is not a good solution and im tired of it ruining mmorpgs, it practically annihilated final fantasy 11.

i really dont want this game to get.. *gasp* abyssea'd.

the worst thing you could possibly ever do to a video game ever recorded.

I've been gathering and crafting and *gasp* it doesn't matter when people crash the market on items trying to sell their stuff faster than you.

It's like in real life. Get a job or you will be poor for the rest of your life.

The gil created through crafting/gathering levequests is fairly significant, I wouldn't count that out just yet. This is a huge gil fountain, pumping gil into the economy. A ton of levequest turn in items sell for a pittance on the marketplace or are really easy to gather/craft. That should keep the economy rather stable alongside the new character generated gil from questing. Would need to give it time to determine if this is sufficient or not to prohibit a market crash.

The only quests I've done are the main story and all the quests below level 20. Haven't even touched these other gil generating quests yet and am having no trouble with income. I am at endgame and have been dealing with the repair costs too. I just happen to do a few things on the side to make gil.

I have a job in real life.
I don't want a job in a game.

That is not what market crashing is.... that's just an increase in supply. Please do not give advice on Economics while using the wrong terms and spreading misinformation

secondly with the reduction in the repair goldsink the personal wealth level of an individual should always be in a gain. if you are poor because you are vending and not selling items on the marketplace that you "Loot" then that is your own fault. As far as people complaining that they do not want a "Job" in the game. this game was centered around the idea of a self controlled player run market system, where crafters would be a major influence. If you do not like that mentality you chose the wrong game. that is a core part of this game, and you may find yourself more entertained in a different game with a system more suited to your preference.

(Market crash) A stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices across a significant cross-section of a stock market, resulting in a significant loss of paper wealth. Crashes are driven by panic as much as by underlying economic factors
