I'm one person so imagine how much went in for all those people who are extremists. I have a good portion of cash now that i'm just sitting on because I have no purpose for it but I earned that through mining.

They need to make sure Gil retains a value. I don't want to be paying 200k+ for a level 5 item.
more important a newbie can't pay 200k for a lv 5 item. gil sinks are needed, i really don't see why ppl don't understand this
