Question: Should gil be removed from the game?

[alimdia]

Barter only? Trading items for items?

I think this is how it works in Path of Exile.

The thing is once you remove gil people will start using a common item as the equivalent of gil.

If Crit VIII is worth 50k gil, then people will start using Crit VIII as the new currency, selling a minion for 10 Crit VIII, selling gear for 20 Crit VIII. And then what do you think bots will do? Farm Crit VIII as their new currency.

Or they should give us GW2 marketplace and block gil sending/giving and block taking gil from company bank.

If you check the gw2exchange subreddit, people already started using mystic coins as commodity to bypass the gold limit.
