Does the community ever have a constructive conversation about RMT?

Do tell more. At my level 50, it sounds like it takes you 3 days to make what i have in 5 months and I craft a ton. I'm all ears....Viera jokes aside. Or is it 'I can make this much once I'm level 70 (80 now) and have a good FC and friends to run statics and and and...'? Seriously, give us worthless lazy peons some pointers.

Yes, he has 3 classes at 80, so he's likely talking about running Treasure maps, etc. Personally, I make about 3-4 million a month completely passively from the gil earned by doing "Adventurer in Need" through roulettes and Beast tribe quests. If I actually tried to make gil actively, I could easily make multiple times that by doing treasure maps alone.

That gives me something to look towards then. Thanks Kaedan. =)

Tbf, it's entirely possible to start raking in the gil as soon as you've unlocked retainers, giving you access to the Marketboard minigame. That's really all it is to some players. Buy low, sell high. No other content required. If you're willing to spend much of your game time buying and selling, you can make a fortune.

It is by no means a strategy for everyone. Not everyone is going to enjoy playing that way, and that's ok. It's the sort of content that appeals to certain players, perhaps a poor application of Bartle's Taxonomy.

In a sense, that's also a sorta nice thing about the game, lack of gil sinks and all. There are so many avenues to making money, everyone has various means of amassing their fortune. Even though some players might think they're cornering a market on an item or resource, or exploiting the lazy or rich or whatever, there's plenty of ways for any player to get to the same level, and quickly.

Old rich players exist, sure. But you don't have to play the game for years to catch up to that if it's your goal.
