Please remove gil cap

[Vivian_Vex]

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.

Actually yes it very clearly does matter what people think. Do you *honestly* think that they're going to do all that work just for one person when people are already speaking out against it? If you want it to change you better care about getting sympathy and support of the community otherwise you're just wasting your time. That's the only way it has a *very slim* chance to change and even then it would be a bad change to start with.

You obviously don't need that much gil or you'd have never accumulated it to begin with.

Sorry OP - limitations exist for a reason. Maybe it's time to consider an early retirement.

it's not about if you need the gil or not - OP's goal in this game is to make money. like other peoples goal is to clear savage raids or whatever. because of the cap OP simply can't continue to play the game. it's compareable to an argument that because we already have 3 raids (Coil, Alexander, Omega) we don't need another one in the future. or for what do we need something we already have?

but of course OP's money making has influence on the whole server he plays on, while a raid doesn't affect other people, so it's more complicated. however, i think crafting and gathering is as reasonable as PvE gameplay and it should not be possible to "play it through" to a point that you simply can't continue and have to quit the game - this is an MMO after all!

maybe they simply could add an item wich costs 999.999.999 gil, wich can't be traded and also can't be turned back into gil?

Since the OP has *won* the 'game' on one server, those characters should be retired permanently, and OP can start over o a different server and win the game there

This game really needs more gil sinks... it's ridiculous.

Put in FC chest. Buy items like clear demi materia, allagan items etc. Move to alts, then you can hit the gil cap 8 times. This isn't hard. I love having alot of gil, but this is ultimately a brag post. Op might as well just said " look at me, I have more gil than everyone." Truth is,if you're smart enough to reach the gil cap, you should be smart enough to know how to move it around. I have each of 8 characters on my account owning an FC....so that's 8 gil caps, and 8 company chests.......It's not hard.

There is nothing about a gil cap that is keeping OP from crafting or gathering. The gil limitation is a practical and necessary economic one. And it may be too high already. It's not the same as increasing ilvl from time to time. No one arguing for a gil cap increase here seems to actually address this. Also, "making gil" is not a goal, what that gil is used for is the goal

I treat it like a high score in lieu of any other truly long-term or horizontal content. It's not there to spend, it's there for the number to improve a bit more every day.

Actually for some players, making gil is the goal. They aren't saving it to spend, the "goal" for them is to see how far they can go with it or how rich they can get. Learning the economy inside out is what they find fun.

Personally I don't see what the issue is, unless the player in question is botting or cheating. If someone finds it fun to play that way, why judge them for it? I also fail to see why it's so economically damaging. A player with 13 billion will never spend it all, which effectively means 13 billion is in stasis and sunk from the economy. What would hurt the economy more is if all the billions from these players was floating around the economy in the hands of regular players being spent constantly. That would devalue gil and result in inflation.

A higher gil cap would cause no real harm. I see no reason for all the aggression in a lot of posts here.

I agree, couldn't have said it better myself...maybe others are jelly?
