    Why be a millionaire?

    Real question, say you have no interest in buying a house, is there reason to hoard gil?

    Until recently I was busy gathering/crafting to make as much money as possible in hope that I could use it to buy or make something for my DoW/M classes. Turns out that is not in the game design, so I've stopped crafting/gathering for profit. I've become the DoW/M you want us all to be, grinding the same dungeons for Philosophy/Mythology which means gil is just an on screen artifact left over from a time when it had purpose.

    I know, rich character problems.... but still if you have a ton of gil what are you holding onto it in hopes of?

    I'd love to give some other person who did not make money crafting some of this currency for some rare dungeon gear I need. They could then give it to someone for some rare dungeon drop they need and the cycle could keep repeating itself.

    they are holding onto their gil because they want the house prices to never drop.

    Actually a lot are holding on to their gil because SE already said housing will drop. Why spend double what you will pay in a few months?

    I can see some social appeal to housing, but this game is driven by impersonal endgame combat activities. 'Kill this stuff as fast as possible, no time to chat person from another server, I just want to be done with this so I can log off and do something fun' is the mentality I encounter outside my free company.
    To me though housing and vanity is kind of like dress-up Barbie in a play house while all the other guys are blowing up GI-Joe outside.

    Lol, I'd rather they just do a one time conversion of gil to mythology and then remove it from the entire game. Even a 1 million gil to 100 myth would make me feel like I didn't completely waste my time crafting. Would give me enough to finish gearing my whm.

    I think that will be completely fair to both us, the people who stuck through the horror of 1.0, and gave the game another chance in 2.0, and the new people. In fact, maybe this time they will take a 0 off our level too! Joy! -_-

    The only use outside of housing that I've been made aware of is for the beastman tribe mounts/minions. Doesn't come close to spending a million, but it puts a minor dent in it.

    I just like looking at all those digits. It shames me that it brings me so much joy. I imagine this is what its like to be a 1%er.
