Private housing. Why do so many items break if you want to upgrade your house?

They're intentional gil sinks. Yoshi-P doesn't want to force players to use consumables in dungeons and raid parties, so they've turned all of the vanity systems into huge gil sinks. You know, to prevent RMT.

I wish people would learn what an actual money sink is. A gil sink in this case would be if the rare mats could be bought from NPCs. An NPC selling you the item for the arc from CT for 30,0000 gil. That's a gil sink because every time someone buys that item, the 30K gil is removed from the economy.

That's different from buying rare materials from other players on the MBs or over general chat. All you're doing is moving money from one player to another, NOT causing said amount to leave the economy.

I wish people would learn what RMT means. Those items are primarily being farmed by RMTs, which eventually get banned. When that happens they are removing money from the economy. RMTs come in many shapes and sizes. Endgame FCs which charge money for runs are often also selling said gil to RMT companies, or selling the money themselves. They do not let players lot those items for the cost of the run.
