Gil Toss Ability to drain gil out of the economy?

[Darte]

this doesn't require rich people to be the ones spending the gil. Normal people who don't necessarily have lots of gil might farm more items or gather more goods BENEFITING the economy to make the gil to try to get this item with. I've said it so many times in this thread. it is -NOT- about making the rich poorer. NORMAL PEOPLE CAN DO IT TOO.

Again, if people were willing to do it in FFXI why wouldn't they do it here?

Normal people would be the least likely to use this ability.

Instead of farming to make the money to use that ability to make 1 NM easy, they could use that cash and purchase items from linkshells who already have a NM or endgame content items up for sale, like FFXI with ridills and what not. It makes no sense for someone to throw down several million for a chance at an item that may or may not drop. FFXI item sales only worked when there was a confirmed drop of an item and a buyer was willing with the cash on hand right then and there.

I can tell you, only a fool is willing to throw millions for a chance at an item. Thats not how player logic works.

I don't think it necessarily HAS to be millions. O.o But... didn't people basically do this in XI already? Buying fairly expensive pop-sets for tough NMs which may or may not drop the item they want, could also be considered "throwing money at a chance at an item."
For Azury's idea there could be a min and max amount of gil allowed for the ability. I don't think anyone said it has to be insanely high.

exactly this.
nothing ive suggested here is really new. I just took a concept from FFXI and improved it slightly and then presented it in a creative way.
