Aggressive Gold Sinks

[Violyre]

I don't know. Sure, you might have some people give up their masses of gil. But they'll probably get it back fairly quickly.

I also think this would encourage gil buying because people want their bling.

Does the gil just sitting there being unused really hurt people that much?

If you really want a gold sink, you need to have something that works more than a one-time thing. Buy a mount, and you're done. Being able to *craft* a mount and sell it to others, but have one item needed to make it be a bit more expensive and only from an NPC, that's a better sink than the one you propose because can be a constant source of gil draining.
