Please remove gil cap

I think that's completely out of the discussion. People play this game for a ton of different reasons, and the game keeps adapting and permanently making quality of life adjustment for all kind of players, not just the majority.

So........ you're considering yourself a minority because you've got too much gil? Making rich people have the ability to be more rich doesn't seem like a "quality of life" adjustment. But what happens next? You make more money and then what? You've got more than enough money for anything, so what would be the point in even having more of it? If you've reached the gil cap, that already shows that you've made more money than you know what to do with, so why would having the ability to make more gil appease you?

Not to mention your reply to Shahi's post. How is it out of the discussion???? What Shahi said was a completely valid point, and very much IN the discussion.

What is your reason then? If you're playing FFXIV as a money-making tycoon, then congrats, you've won. I can't possibly see how constantly stacking up on gil -and doing nothing else- is enjoyable. To be quite honest, it sounds like you're bored.

I'm not trying to attack you or anything, I'm just curious, as I honestly don't understand the logic behind this request.

I get that it's fun for you to stack up your gil, you do you, but there are some concerns with inflation by allowing players to stack up too much gil. I could also manage it would end up being a benefit to gil sellers and buyers as well to be able to hold even more.

Shalice, what exactly do you hoard all that gil for? For profit? For bragging rights? Housing stuff?

Most people can't even get 1/10 of the gil cap, even if they spent most of their time crafting and gathering because the economy fluctuates a quite a bit.

This topic is not about what I choose to do with my gil or not. My particular enjoyment of money making activities concerns only me and the reasons why I do it or enjoy it contributes nothing to the discussion. I could do it just because I want, and that would a perfectly valid reason. Elamys, for example, gave a good reason why is a bad idea to increase the gil cap.

For me, at least, the current gil cap unables me from using a feature I'm paying real money for (7 extra retainers), because I cannot use them to sell stuff ingame (being capped on gil makes all gil from new sells disappear), so its not just a trivial request like you are thinking.

What you choose to do with your gil is your business, but you can't be surprised about people being curious about your intentions when you literally make a topic about reaching the maximum amount of currency, and you're still wanting to make more. In this situation, you can't simply say "I have max money, I want more, and the reason why is none of your business". If you feel that way, then you shouldn't have posted on the forum. Literally any argument you make about why the gil cap should be increased will always come back to the very valid question: "What are you doing with the gil that you need more than the maximum?"

"My retainers can't hold any more" ..... Why are you still collecting it then?
"I'm paying for a feature that I can't use" ..... If you're capped on gil, and you know this cap won't be lifted anytime soon, why are you still paying real money for extra retainers? Seven of them?????
"I cannot use them to sell stuff in-game" ..... Why are you still trying to sell things if you know it wont retain any more currency???

None of this makes any sense. When people post on a forum about something they'd like to see changed in game, 9/10 they're doing it to gain supporting opinions and perspectives as to why a particular issue should be changed. This is done in an effort to (hopefully) try and get the developers to see why this issue is in need of a change. Much like how the MSQ roulette cutscene issue was looked at. Coming here with an attitude of "I want more money and you don't need to know why" is not persuasive or helpful to your cause at all, and you've yet to give a good reason as to why the cap needs to be increased.

As you suggested, I have 0 interest in gaining any sympathy or support from players, I'm trying to reach developers attention to a particular matter which may or may not be rejected. Simple as that. You have nothing to do in this, and I really don't care about your curiosity regarding my stuff and I don't owe you any response.

About the reason, I already said: Im unable to use a service I'm paying for because of this limitation which forces me to use alt characters. It's understandable, they never thought someone would reach those amounts, thats cool, a lot of other things in the game have evolved because the game has changed as well.

As I was saying before though it's a non-trivial change to the game's basic systems to alter the gil cap beyond what it currently is. And I have to point out that the number of players who would benefit from such a change is ridiculously tiny. Creating content for people who have reached level 70 in all jobs and crafting/gathering classes would technically be a better use of their time (because it would apply to a larger percentage of the player base) and even that would be silly.

You've reached the gil cap on your player and seven retainers... probably an FC bank and who knows how many alts. You have effectively infinite money and you're complaining that it isn't enough. While I do understand that you've basically exhausted the content you enjoy in the game (making money), the change you're asking for is absurd.

This is nothing but a backdoor brag post, please disregard

I don't owe you any response.

Lol, your hostility is unnecessary.

Honey, I never said you owed me anything, nor did I imply it. What I'm saying, is that you keep stating that people wanting to know why you're stacking gil is redundant, but it isn't. Yes, your goal is to get the developer's attention, but that doesn't change the fact that you've brought this issue to a forum setting. I.E, where anyone can and will voice their opinions, thoughts, or concerns about whatever you've posted. If you're posting about wanting more than max gil, questions about your intentions are completely normal and expected. You can't come to a forum with the expectation that people aren't going to question anything you post. If you don't want to respond, that's totally fine with me. Stay blessed, and enjoy your wealth.

Oops, I suppose the wealth is the problem, isn't it? Don't enjoy your wealth, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
