Before analyzing the Market please read.

Gil in circulation is up, gil being spent in the market (on everything but housing) is down.

How do I know this? Beacuse I play the game.

I don't need access to SE's source coding to see this. It's very clear.

I play the game and every day I log out with more money than I started with. I know most people in my FC are in the same boat because I talk to them.

The fact is, in 2.1, daily quests/treasure maps quests give out more gil than it costs to repair equipment/transport. Even running low level dungeons is profitable now that trash mobs are dropping 6-8 gil per kill. Couple this with the fact that there is absolutely no NEED to ever buy anything because all of the best items in the game can either be created by a player from raw materials, or obtained through dungeon raiding... and you have a problem.




The issue isn't that people can't make gil. The issue is that there is no reason to spend gil.

Everyone can make gil. Making gil is easy... run your dailies and go treasure hunting. Sell whatever drops you get from mobs while doing these to NPC vendors. Do your daily dungeon roulette and get gil off trash mobs and get your quest reward at the end. Do your daily leve roulette and get gil there. Do your daily leve allotment and get gil there.

There are TONS of ways to make gil. Sure, it's not hundreds of thousands or millions of gil at a time... but you're going to end in the black (profit) every day.

What to do when you have that gil? That is the problem.
