Level 90 and 110 food are ridiculous.

The amount of players with gil overflowing their pockets is larger than you may think. Having 10 million gil on the balance is not out of the ordinary for many of my guildies. Those with only around the 5 million mark may quickly be considered as relatively poor.

Since you are going to use SE's 428 billion to show the amount of gil floating around, why not use SE's number of how many account are sharing that gil. The last time the number was listed on the lodestone main page it said 2.3 million accounts.

You know how much gil that it per account? Roughly 186,000 per account. Now you can say that many of those accounts are inactive and you would be correct. However inactive accounts still have gil in them. Its not as if this disappears when they don't subscribe for a month.


Add to that the fact that, as you have said, many have more than that amount. The ones that have more are inflating that amount moving the average away from the median amount. In essence that means what Saccharin said about who hold the gil is more true than you believe or even acknowledge. Using figures SE has listed (and one you referenced) shows this to be true. Simply put while some have a good amount of gil as you said, it is actually not the norm.
