DevTalk: GIL SINKS! Ideas to Stabilize the Economy and Curb Inflation

[Demacia]

Didn't read the entire thread, just gonna drop my thoughts.

Most of them are good ideas but some of them are going too far. Charging delivery fees and 10k to change player titles is going slightly overboard. Other than that I approve, I just wouldn't want to go broke AFTER the economy is stabilized.

Of course some of these ideas wont work due to changes in market systems and other content but something must be done. Eorzea's economy stinks, and gil is too easy to obtain. Good stuff here!!

I'm not a huge fan of taxes (and the current tax rate seems sufficient to discourage excessive re-undercutting), but I do like the more content-oriented gil sink proposals.

They say "We want to know what you think" and suddenly everybody's a game developer.

What about a barber shop. Those are HUGE gil sinks, especially when they have expensive, shop-only hair styles.

Another Suggestion:

Charge gil for Anima. 5k per Anima.

Purchasing items directly from the Item Search window will incur a 5% surcharge. This surcharge will never exceed 4,000 gil.

Good to see some progress here.

For a moment I wondered how this thread resurfaced. It's a good start.

I think I should redo the OP a little bit. Given some of the recent changes, a few of the suggestions in the OP are either irrelevant now, need some tweaking, or need to be removed.
