An economic primer on how to get rich off the new housing system!

Recession can be caused by both inflation or deflation.
You can't really have a recession in game because it's based on investments and loans and GDP (which are not in ffxiv)

So you're probably thinking of deflation

Not really! The game has no item decay system like in real life! that is your true GDP.

Crafting nets nothing now and after 2.1 it will become nearly impossible to make a decent coin! Gil will be constantly taken out of the game more than the server can replenish from housing, repairs, transport and other stuff.

I don't understand sorry.
If it's nearly impossible to make decent coin
and money keeps getting taken out of the economy
then you have deflation (prices go down) and any money you saved is worth more.

I don't get the GDP comment.
Recession is based on GDP, employment, investment, bankruptcies, business profits, etc
None of that exists in game

However if the game had that then yeah you would get a recession
Or if you're arguing that the inability for people to make gil is equal to a recession i guess that is pretty legit

But in that case, saving gil now is still the best option (as you wont be able to make it if there is a 'recession' and people will be desperate to sell so prices will plummet)

There will not be enough gil to supply the servers! Yes prices will bottom out on items, but if every person on the server is flooding the market with stuff, how in the world can smaller FC's on these Legacy servers even afford the basic of stuff? After the 50% reduction @ 90 days it is still alot of gil the player base. Remember we are all fighting to sell stuff!
