People can be greedy, impatient, and stupid. Anyone who buys gold at this stage in ARR's life is certainly all of these things to some degree.

I see literally 0 reason to buy Gil right now. With relics and DL gear being so easy to obtain, and Gil being so easy to make (I'm sitting on 700k, and I've handed out about 500k of mats to FC members) and I've barely been trying to earn.

I just don't understand it.
