Silly thing is, I'm only arguing one point in that entire thread. You can only disagree with all of it or agree with it. You can't say some of it.

All I'm saying is people need to present the gil in circulation numbers in order to support that the economy is doing good or bad.

You can't say, some of it. That is logically flawed.

Everything has already been accounted for.

If people spend too much porting/repairing/MB fees, they will have less to spend or will be deterred to spend what they have left on the MB. Which will be reflected in the gil in circulation numbers.

If people earn a ton of gil and now have more to spend or earn too little gil from gil generation and have too little to spend, it will be reflected in the gil in circulation numbers.

If people are hoarding gil and not spending, it will be reflected in the gil in circulation numbers.

That's why gil in circulation should be presented as evidence of a struggling economy or booming economy because it accounts everything in to the equation.
