Every item that can be sold holds some gil value. Whether or not I drop it, sell it, npc it is up to me. Btw this topic has gone all over the place lol.
forbidden materia is still gil paid to ANOTHER PLAYER
as i said, it doesnt remove the gil from the game, only from your inventory, into another players



items in the economy isnt the issue, its gil itself people are looking at
if you want to count gil value of items, then its value is only what it can be vendored for. so you lost those materia and those items, which you paid 2mil for it, you really only removed 40k gil from taxes when you did so, and maybe 20k more gil from the value of the items to a vendor(which really doesnt count)
