Apartments need Rent

[Almagnus1]

I presently have 300M on my main character. For reference sake, I'll up your rent requirement to 100k per week and we'll assume I never earn another cent. Even with those parameters, it would take over 62 years before I ran out of gil.

Needless to say, throwing a glass of water into the ocean would have more of an impact than your proposal.

Ok, now how much gil does the average apartment dweller have? What about the average player?

If you're in the top 5% (or top 1%) of gil holders.... you're kinda the exception and stuff shouldn't be balanced around you.

And draining gil from the economy isn't about making one huge dent into a pocket book, if done correctly you bleed gil on almost everything and in an amount that makes sense (for example, repair costs should be much more expensive, as should teleport costs).

Even someone with just a 10% of my gil count would take years to run out.

Regardless, this whole rent concept would make Apartments less appealing. They're only saving grace is not requiring a constant subscription. It's also a limitless system as the dev team says they can generate more as needed. Considering they've never once had to add additional apartment, it really goes to highlight how little people think of them. Slapping a rent price on Apartments will kill them off entirely.
