We don't need anymore gil sinks

[StriderShinryu]

I dunno. To me, I think people overvalue Gil. It's easy to look at your low amount of Gil and think "Damn, it would be great to have more!" but if you had more you'd probably find there's not really a lot of value to it. Outside of a few times where you might want, say, a new hairstyle that just won't drop for you or some new crafted gear, there isn't really much use for Gil in the game. Not saying there should be more Gil sinks or big ticket items as these really just A.) do nothing to actually "hurt" those who already have Gil and B.) do nothing to "inspire" those who don't have Gil to somehow magically get more.

It could be useful to actually picture what you would do if you suddenly did have, for example, 500 Million Gil sitting in your bank. If you could literally buy anything on the Auction House or from an in game vendor that you wanted, what would you actually buy? And once you'd bought everything you wanted, then what?

And I say this as someone who rarely has more than around 10 million gil in the bank and actually does have to make decisions about buying a new haircut or piece of crafted gear. If you really want to make more gil, you can. You can do it quickly or slowly, but just having a ton of gil in your bank doesn't really mean as much as you think it will.
