I don't think Materia is gil sink at all actually. It stimulates the crafting economy surely, but is certainly not a sink.

It can definitely pose as one especially with attempting higher tiers. A botched materia results in complete loss. I've seen people lose millions in attempting forbidden materia.

but that gil isnt lost
only the "tax" the wards charged for selling the materia or items if they werent all self made is


the gil is only transfered to other players



imposing a tax for laziness(which is what this is) will take out that much more gil that much quicker

cuz lets face facts, people are lazy
i for one will still run to the npcs, but most people wont

Help me understand that a bit more lol. Yes the gil is simply transferred, but technically I would be carrying, (let's say materia) valued at that amount. I lose it in an attempt to forbidden materia and then that item is gone from existence and that value is gone from the economy. This is sincere Thev.

True but how does this take money out of the game? You are purchasing gear/materia from another player (or gathering materials needed to make the original item). Someone is getting rich, even if you break during forbidden materia. It drains gil from an individual, but not from the game itself. Raw Materials are removed from the game through forbidden materia failures.

aww... poor babies, you gotta pay a 5% surcharge that caps at 4k just to use your precious AH, you won your precious AH and STILL aren't satisfied. (why am I not surprised?) SE decided to put in a realistic surcharge for using a service ingame, it is a gil sink in a game that currently is quite limited in that dept.
