Lifetime Airship Pass?

[Aenarion]

actually, if you talk to the airship booking npcs, they'll tell you that there are various levels of airship passes, I don't recall the exact words, but IIRC there is a pass that lets you ride w/o fees, and another exclusive pass on top of it that's reserved for the VIPs.

maybe we'll see them implemented in the future.

The whole "games need gil sinks" argument is kind of silly, in my mind. There'll always be things people spend money on. Having people pay nickels and dimes to do X, Y, and Z doesn't take much out of the system, or particularly effect the economy.

then you know absolutely nothing about how economies work. The "things that people spend money on" that you're talking about are mostly transfers of wealth between players, which does not remove gil from the system. Without sufficient gil-sinks, you end up with a continued and ever-expanding inflation as more and more gil are introduced into the system but are never removed. It's economy 101 buddy.

If I remember right: It was 200/500k gil to buy the airship pass in Jeuno on XI? Perhaps there can be some sort of equivalent for that in XIV as well...Perhaps 5-7 mil would be reasonable? It's really easy to make gil just from questing in Eorzea after all. That, plus anima almost rules out the use of airships to begin with.

Damn, I feel like a damn spoiled brat riding the airship and teleporting everywhere right out the gate. This world has gone mad, MAD I TELL YOU!

With FFXI you had to have a Airship pass (brought for 500k for cities 150k for Kazham or a Quest) + you also had to pay 200 gil per use to.

If anything I think they should leave or increase the fees, theres far too much gil in the system.

Better that than people trying to sell their crap at 99 Billion Gil.

The reason choco's were 800g to even begin with is because they knew using Chocobo as gil sink wouldn't work or else they'd need to add Chocobo people at every single camp/aetherite/hamlet. Even then it wouldn't be an on-demand content because you'd still be restricted to when you can use chocobo.

As for lifetime airship pass they could just give them out to people who have 18/18 50s. They are already doing something similar to this in 1.20 (all jobs at L36 = some crown thing).
