Adding Gil Tips To Players

[Xibri]

I think this game should have a tip (gratuity) system. To use it you would type "/tip amount" with a player selected. So to tip 500 gil you would select them and type "/tip 500" I think this would be great way to reward the players who work hard to get new gear and special emotes that look amazing. This could also be fore Bards performing, people dancing, or using entertaining abilities. This would benefit players who even spend their hard earned dollars on RMT gear from the Mog Station. I see a lot of players just standing around Limsa showing off their outfits. I think they should be rewarded for looking good and I think this would be a great way to do it.

I also think this would help SE sell more gear off the mog station for players looking to increase the tips they get

Edit: I'm suggesting this system because a lot of these people are AFK while they're posing or performing. So, you can't have them accept a trade. I appreciate the work they put into their appearance and if this is how they like to spend their sub time, I think they deserve some appreciation and reward.

Also, it's just rude to interrupt a bard with a trade window this is my suggestion for an alternative option

To deal with RMT there could be a limit around 5-10k and a 1 hour wait time before you could tip a player a second time. Trying to tip a player twice would give you the message "You've already tipped this player"

If it's not for you there would be an option to turn off receiving tips

If you want to give people money just give them money

Yes, however, a lot of these people are AFK while they're posing or performing so, you can't have them accept a trade. I appreciate the work they put into their appearance and if this is how they like to spend their sub time I think they deserve some appreciation and reward.

If there's going to be a way to give or receive stuff without a confirmation window, then I would really prefer a way to turn that option off.

What issue could you have with receiving gil, I get items, but why wouldn't you want more gil

I often refuse to accept when someone offers me gil for something I did for them. I have more gil than I'll probably ever need unless they make some major changes to the game. You keep it.

Put simply, I wouldn't want to be involuntarily indebted to someone. If they walked up to me and opened a trade window with me for any amount of gil, I would refuse - a forced tip isn't very different.

well if it's not for you there could always be a refuse tips option

I like to make it rain as much as the next person but something like this can easily be taken the wrong way, or 'trigger' the players judging by the track record of the playerbase

Given how useless gil is in this game (500 gil? Thats not even covering ONE teleport fee), I think the much better reward you can give someone who you think has a cool glamour/mount/pet/emote/character in general is to hit /tell and give them a compliment (try not to be creepy, please... dont say anything to a female character you wouldnt say to a male, as rule of thumb).
Hearing "Hey, cool outfit!" or "Thats a really cute pet!" or "I really like the way your character looks" is probably a lot more worth than a pity amount of gil to be honest.

Well you would be able to tip way more than 500 if you wanted that was just a random number i picked for an example

I accept donations 24/7 via the trade window, provided I'm not AFK.

The main problem with this is trading with a bard interrupts their performance which is kind of rude
