Last thing the world needs is to increase a player's financial burden in a videogame.

I don't think it's unfair to say teleporting in Final Fantasy XIV is a necessity. We're sent, so often, to every corner of the world that to try and walk the distance is an unfair debit on the player's time.

I’ve been playing for almost a year now. I consider teleport a “luxury”. I can count in one hand how many times I spent more than 500g on one teleport, and I always try to use cheaper alternatives if I can. I only spend gil when I have to, because I don’t have much. I don’t like increase of “cost of living”.

If you wanted to log in for a moment, I might be able to help a little. :3

Edit: Going to nap, sorry! I'll try and poke you in game some time later.

Thank you. That is very kind of you. I know how to make gil, and I just don’t want to make it my goal in this game, so I’m taking the “cutting expense” approach.

My point is, for some players, the costs of basic features are nothing, but for others, they are “expensive”. Just like in real life. In my opinion, basic necessities should be cheap, like transportation, repair and melding, so players don’t need to think about gil unless they want something extra.

The thing is, unless you're spending either foolishly and paying more for things than you should be, or spending frivolously on unnecessary things the fees for things like teleports, repairs, melds, etc become pretty much a non issue once you get past the beginning of the game.

IMO I think it's nice they're finally doing something at least to try and tone down inflation. However I don't see this doing much in the long run.
