Thread: Does anyone know why they are removing Gil from collectibles in 5.2?

I wished they would add more "gil sinks" I'm not rich by any means just a few million gil, but there isnt much to spend gil on.

Just some ideas and they could be bad, not sure.

Teleportation increase based on level of highest leveled job. Level 80 job would require 2-4k to teleport.

Add a worst version of crafted gear to NPCs. Same gear so you dont have to make new designs. 5 ilvls lower and maybe just 1 materia slot. Cost 50k-100k since it seems most crafting gear is a couple hundred thousand.

Have a NPC that can remove materia 100%. Not sure what it would cost but would need to be less than market board to make it worth it.

NPC that can increases gear durability up to 110%. 10k per item.

NPC who will train your chocobo. Maybe 6 hours for a %(thinking 10%) of the next level. Not sure how much. But you could pay him and have him train your chocobo while logged out.

NPC who sells a random minion every week. It can be anything from the most common minion to the newest most rarest minion in the game. Prices anywhere from 10gil to 1million gil.

Same for Triple Triad cards, there are so many minions and cards it wouldnt make the rarest cards and minions obsolete because it would be such a low chance for them to appear.

Finally maybe a NPC who sells the current map, can buy 3 a week with an increase in price with each purchase.

Just some ideas to help gil spending. Besides the teleportation non are mandatory and wont affect much if you dont use them.

It would be cool to have more stuff to actually spend gil on. It's pretty much worthless.

No, I'm still not giving away all of my gil for nothing. I like seeing worthless numbers go up. It makes me feel good about my life choices.

To answer your question, it is the same reason as to why we're only getting one dungeon per patch...

You people get an inch and you demand a mile.

Dude what are you even talking about? All I said was increased house prices would only affect those who don’t own homes. I have a home and am included in that. I also asked why wouldn’t you want something cool to spend gil on.

You go off on a tangent about players crying themselves to sleep and include me in a statement about getting an inch and demanding a mile.

Can you even have a coherent conversation? Or are you so defensive/jaded that all you can do is assume the worst and try and talk like you’re above everyone else? Ofc I’ve heard about you but I’m trying to talk to you as a person. Answer the question seriously or just move on.

Oh well this is annoying. Constant teleporting can add up fast, and handing in collectibles was more than enough to cover the costs of travel. I know aetheryte tickets are a thing but those need to be bought with another currency that would need to be farmed. It's far less convenient than how things currently are.

propably because some bots farm collectables 24/7.

No doubt, that is most likely the reason unfortunately. Just a handful (relatively speaking) of Players ruins it for everyone else.
