Please remove gil cap

[Elamys]

I get that it's fun for you to stack up your gil, you do you, but there are some concerns with inflation by allowing players to stack up too much gil. I could also manage it would end up being a benefit to gil sellers and buyers as well to be able to hold even more.

Shalice, what exactly do you hoard all that gil for? For profit? For bragging rights? Housing stuff?

Most people can't even get 1/10 of the gil cap, even if they spent most of their time crafting and gathering because the economy fluctuates a quite a bit.

As you suggested, I have 0 interest in gaining any sympathy or support from players, I'm trying to reach developers attention to a particular matter which may or may not be rejected. Simple as that. You have nothing to do in this, and I really don't care about your curiosity regarding my stuff and I don't owe you any response.

About the reason, I already said: Im unable to use a service I'm paying for because of this limitation which forces me to use alt characters. It's understandable, they never thought someone would reach those amounts, thats cool, a lot of other things in the game have evolved because the game has changed as well.

As I was saying before though it's a non-trivial change to the game's basic systems to alter the gil cap beyond what it currently is. And I have to point out that the number of players who would benefit from such a change is ridiculously tiny. Creating content for people who have reached level 70 in all jobs and crafting/gathering classes would technically be a better use of their time (because it would apply to a larger percentage of the player base) and even that would be silly.

You've reached the gil cap on your player and seven retainers... probably an FC bank and who knows how many alts. You have effectively infinite money and you're complaining that it isn't enough. While I do understand that you've basically exhausted the content you enjoy in the game (making money), the change you're asking for is absurd.

There are caps on other currencies too such as tomestones but it's advisable and generally accepted to spend some to uncap oneself. The same thing works with gil; you can avoid being capped by buying items for yourself or for friends, or move some to alt characters like you said yourself since it is a tradeable currency. Since options already exist it shouldn't be viewed as a broken feature; retainers are working as intended and can continue earning once you uncap them using whatever method you prefer. If your goal as a player is to profit infinitely and not spread it to other characters/players then you'll again reach the new cap were it to be increased, deliberately causing an avoidable problem.

This guy has the right of it. A potentially difficult change to implement which has no benefit to almost the entire global playerbase... To be honest it's also of no benefit to the two billionaires who are asking for it, since refusing to spend gil on items for yourself and friends removes the only function that a currency has. You could buy stacks of very valuable items and hoard those, start viewing those items as material wealth so it's compatible with your wealth addiction, in doing so preventing your gil from being capped and thus no changes to the game need be made.

Exactly what I thought. Also if anything they need to make more ways to spend gil not increase the cap.

Honestly, that is literally the reason I never made this thread myself. I knew it would simply be seen as a 'backdoor brag post' as even I agree it is a very first worldish issue (as another player had pointed out).

However, I do feel that it is at least something worth bringing to the devs attention as they may not even realize that there are players out there who cannot hold any more gil. Adding more gilsinks to the game would be another valid approach to solving this issue but I do remember in the early days of housing (when a mansion cost around 400mil) this was something widely protested by players so would be a balancing act.

In my case I do spend quite a bit of gil but also enjoy crafting and gathering and find it too easy to make it all back. Currently furnishing houses is the biggest gilsink the game has to offer but once done does not cost very much to maintain.

Lol, your hostility is unnecessary.

Honey, I never said you owed me anything, nor did I imply it. What I'm saying, is that you keep stating that people wanting to know why you're stacking gil is redundant, but it isn't. Yes, your goal is to get the developer's attention, but that doesn't change the fact that you've brought this issue to a forum setting. I.E, where anyone can and will voice their opinions, thoughts, or concerns about whatever you've posted. If you're posting about wanting more than max gil, questions about your intentions are completely normal and expected. You can't come to a forum with the expectation that people aren't going to question anything you post. If you don't want to respond, that's totally fine with me. Stay blessed, and enjoy your wealth.

Oops, I suppose the wealth is the problem, isn't it? Don't enjoy your wealth, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lets be realistic here they won't raise the cap. I would love to more access to all my gil easily but it won't happen.

What I have been doing is just funneling gil into clear 3s. Yes I know they can change the vendor price and it will piss me off pretty bad but that is the only option I have at this point.

Each stack of Clear demi 3 is 5m a full retainers worth will hold 874m worth. It also has the added benefit of being wealth that can easily move between servers, so it can be sold to players who want to move servers but don't want to risk hoarding items for weeks for profit. I would love to see more of the 25k allagan pieces more easily available so I could just upgrade to that.

Anyway this is the only option we have besides using mules or buying more retainers.
