ROYAL RUBY • NIGHTCLUB • BEHEMOTH/PRIMAL

[Shibi]

Nothing is stopping them from doing it and they're free to even if I disagree with it, but let's not pretend it's anything else

I'm actually not pretending anything.

Nobody is forcing anyone to attend said roleplay venue and eat a meal. If they get people who do, bully for them.

My initial argument was that if it's the "best immersive experience" wouldn't the prices be more sensible to what you might expect when immersing yourself into an Eorzean setting?

And that's sort of the point we have been discussing, no? The prices charged by NPCs are all over the place. 2 Steaks per Doman Enclave Restoration; 6 steaks per Dragonskin map. A steak being $40 if you take level 70 shoes, but a few hundred USD if you take the lower levels.

And when you boil it down, what even is "real gil"? The stuff falls from the skies without even trying. Roleplay a strip club in Secondlife and you are spending real hard currency from your bank account, some reports over US$100 a night in tips.... but "real gil"? Unless you are buying it from a gold seller, it's stuff you stole from the pockets of the last Garlean you killed.
