Aggressive Gold Sinks

[Youkulm]

Have to agree with OP. This game has badly needed gold sinks for years. Housing was never enough, not even when the prices were a lot higher than they are now. It's clear they intended it to be a gil sink based on how older/richer worlds houses cost so much more.

They could always just do what they did at the start of 2.0. Chop everyone's gil down to size... Gil sink would be better though. The amount of people with max gil on each retainer is staggering.

Like Derio said above me though, it would need to be more than just static mount/minion purchases for high prices. It would have to be more consistent along the lines of gear repair. Gear repair also wouldn't work in the long run though as you can circumvent the cost by repairing it yourself ( what almost anyone who crafts does anyway ). I wouldn't even know what to suggest that wouldn't harm new players ( repairs/teleports ) aside from optional Mounts/Minions/Glamour and so forth.
