    Taking and introducing gil?

    So I had some discussions with players I've been with when running roulette through the month about gaining gil.

    There are still a good amount of players who would prefer to skip mobs for a speed run in a dungeon because they gain a large amount of gil by selling item to be bought by other players which is the method of taking from the economy.

    There are also people who would rather fight the mobs for that easy gil thus introducing more gil into the economy rather than taking gil already in the economy by selling items.

    So the question is are you someone who prefer Taking gil from the economy or Introducing gil into the economy.

    (Selling items currently is removing gil from the economy because everytime you sell a item on the market board some of the gil is lost to a selling tax. Thus reducing the amount of gil in the economy. Only through normal trading will this selling tax not affect people.)

    That is a removing method which serves to remove gil from the economy like the sell tax on market board.

    I'm talking about methods you prefer using to gain Gil. Not methods that causes you to lose gil or remove gil from the economy.

    Taking is one of the way to gain gil because you are taking gil from other players rather than adding gil into the economy itself.

    Killing mobs earns a set amount of Gil.

    Selling items varies it's profit based on the economy.

    To answer your question, I sell items Mon-Thur and then kill mobs Fri-Sun. Generally speaking of course.

    That's not the issue. Gil generated through kills, roulettes, dailies, quests, etc is all "new" money. Gil generated from market board is just trading hands between players (and some is lost due to taxes). The former is better, but slower. There's only so much gil to go around for the latter case.
