Gil Toss Ability to drain gil out of the economy?

[indira]

no point in that RMT will run the sells of every sever anyways. when the game adds more stuff.

I apologize but this might be the worst and most useless idea I have ever heard. Just because someone has alot of something doesnt mean they would throw it away. For me to throw gil at a monster it better throw double back....just saying.

i second that this is a horrid idea

back to the drawing board you go

What was the name of the 7 million gil subligar in the CoP area that you could break down for a chance at a rare piece of cloth for the brd body?

Your plan wont work if the person spending the gil gets a rare item, they will just put it up for sale for lets say double/triple the gil they used to aquire it therefore creating a way to get a lot of gil very fast.

Don't think you're getting the idea.
An economy has a numerical value of gil, lets say 3000 million. And its growing every day by lets say 1million.
Now lets say you "gil toss" 40million gil and get lucky and get a rare item.
The economy now has 2960mil gil growing at a rate of 1 million per day.
Now lets say you decide to sell the item the same day for 100 million
the economy still has 2960mil. You just "moved" the gil from one person to another in the economy. Which is fine.

The goal isn't to make rich people poor. Its to reduce the amount of gil in the economy so that when PS3 is launched the economy actually has a chance. Right now it doesn't.

Money is as easy as it ever was to make, it didn't come from lev's.

Azurymber, I actually think it's quite an interesting idea. I don't have much gil at the moment myself, but if there was an epic item I wanted to toss gil at, I would if I had it. :3 We make money to do something with the money. Not to have it to stare at. It would be nice to have something to save gil to SPEND on.

I'm not sure why people get so.. quick to shoot down ideas to remove gil from the game. I'm worried for the future of the game right now. I would love to see more ideas to get gil out than people saying "well that's a terrible idea because of this and this and this!"

I like that SE lowered gil from leves, but I still worry about the amount of gil coming into the game versus leaving it.

Something I would spend millions on if SE let me, is housing. I wanna slowly build up my house to be huge! Let me upgrade the size and things and I'll pay a fortune! I'll save up for it. lol And then once it's done, I'll spend on decorating it! XD
That's just one idea though. I hope housing is very customizable (especially in size) and very expensive.
Not just housing though! I still want ships! It should be very expensive to build ships. X3

But as for more long term/commonly used things... I really do think anima should cost gil somehow. People use it all the time. Doesn't have to be expensive.. Just some gil leaving the game from it would be great.
SE could put more expensive gil sinks in now though, and lower the cost of things when servers' gil has gone down a bit.
I remember when chocobo prices went down in XI. :3

Keep the ideas coming Azury. ^-^/ You put a lot of thought into your threads.

I think these are great ideas. I would be a huge supporter of the housing thing. And it would make a lot of sense of anima to either cost gil or for an npc in town to "recharge" anima for a medium-price.
