Gil sinks

[ItMe]

It's nice to see that SE is starting to add some substantial gil sinks other than housing to the game.

But I am disappointed that all we're getting (at least for now) are recolors of existing mounts. I know there are players who consider themselves collectors and will buy them just for the sake of owning them but personally I feel no desire to spend millions of gil to buy one of the mounts for myself when I'd choose to use the originals I already have over the recolors.

Now that SE is open to adding gil sinks to the game, what types of items would most interest you?

Cool thread idea~
I'm personally surprised they don't have more orchestrion scrolls or minions you buy from a vendor. I think that could be a good start.

Though, instead of a big one time payment like a house or a mount I think it's more effective for the "sink" to take away from you bit by bit (like teleportation or repair costs).
So one of the sinks I'd really like is, and this one might be kinda dumb... but use a gil sink for crafting.
If I'm missing a Coerthan Leaf, instead of tabbing out of game, looking up where it is, and going to try and gather it, if I could substitute in gil for (some) common items.
Saves me hassle, and would help free up a LOT of inventory space. Like... damn theres a lot of random pieces I'd be able to ditch without fear.
Not sure how they'd Index the substitution price though to not stiff gatherers and have those items whither on the MB.

Perhaps a new glamour contest for players to design glamours that will become gil sinks, or using some of the designs from past contests?

Might sound a bit out of place but the ability to gift wrap items we're giving to friends. How much fun it would be for them to have to unwrap an item to see what they're getting just as we need to have lockboxes opened to see what those contain instead of having the items placed directly into our inventory when completing content.

I love those design contests and ho boy have they given us some great pieces.
Skallic, Bonewicca, Late Allagan, etc...
At least a piece from each of the winners has made it into one of my glams somewhere, if not inspired wholly new ones.
This would be a very compelling gil sink for me.

And I love your gift wrap idea.
Especially if we can gift wrap things and then mail them.
