Question: Should gil be removed from the game?

[Taebok]

Should gil be removed from the game? Or made non-transferable?
It seems to me it would solve most of the bot and RMT issues.

RMT'ers don't sell tomes or other in game currency because they can't.
Would also stop house flippers and run sellers.

Any way, just thinking out loud.

It would also hinder legitimate uses of gil. I have a heavy tendency to use melded, HQ crafted gear as placeholders until I can get tomestone gear, relics, etc. Other examples include buying/selling glamour gear, glamour prisms, materials for glamour item crafting, materia, main attribute potions and infusions, crafted food, crafted crafting/gathering gear (which is sometimes better than the scrip versions due to low default stats and the ability to overmeld), housing items, crafted/tradable mounts (Zu and Flying Chair), and minions. You would hurt the ability to deal in any of these things by removing gil.

They might be able to get away with making gil untradable via direct trades and unable to be mailed, so that the market board is the only way to transfer gil. But removing gil outright? Not a chance.

Aion did just that. Player trading too. All currency was changed entirely.

You've seen nothing yet. I've seen somebody have an idea of removing levels and experience.

Try reading more than just the subject line, k?

I think they should just forbid new accounts from transferring gil via mail/trades if they want to hinder RMT because their accounts are never made to last.

Even just a one week restriction on such would make things rather difficult for them.

Not sure if anybody has said this yet, but, you'd have to prevent money transfer in and out of FCs as well, since a lot of bots use that for moving money around.

It would also only stop one form of RMT, the selling of Savage clears, EX trial clears, Ultimates and their drops for real money is also RMT.

Haha why you think all the dodgy partyfinders ask you to contact them on discord. You cant carry a person in ultimate or high savage and they wont train you.

They want to run it on your account for real cash.
