There won't be a "gil problem" after repairs are made cheaper...

I feel they are trying to bleed out the money on the legacy folks so every server has the same relative gil wealth before they add anything else in. Inadvertently, the gil sinks have caused more damage to non-legacy servers than intended.

I'm patient I can wait, but you can be damn sure I've been telling my friend "Oh you want me to gather you some botany mats? Sure but you're paying my repair bill!"

EDIT: Why does quoted text count toward the 1,000 character limit???? This forum is potato.

THe thing is, the only way to make money in this game is through crafting and mining and gathering stuffs.

in my opinion, crafting and gathering should be optional

Lol That's what i've been hearing a lot lately. If that's true everything shall be fine. Especially with lowered repairs haha.

And yeah I dunno why it does. The 1000 character limitation is odd to begin with./

Also forgot this but, yeah gathering and helping people can be bothersome with the huge repair bills. haha

I make a ton of gil in this game, ah and no ah. Obviously if you are doing runs for tomestones, the reward is not gil, even though people just run by the chests. Every resource in this game is actually gil free, you could repair your own armor you can even pay someone to do it for you, soon you won't even have to let it leave your inventory. There is gil laying all over this game. I hope they don't lower repair costs so people realize that the game is made for utilizing the people around you, not the npcs, Community is what creates longevity for MMOs, not the ability to solo the entire game. As far as people complaining about undercutting, thats part of a free market, the product you're selling may not actually be what you think it's worth.

Everyone must have different versions of the game then. Since player repairs by other players doesn't exist in 2.0

You have to buy the dark matter from an NPC (not a way to gather it as far as I know). Also you could request repairs in FFXI and in 1.0 but not in ARR for some reason.
