Gil sinks need to target the wealthiest of players (those with 100mil+) to be able to take the most gil out of the game. Chances are, if someone’s got just an apartment, then they’re not part of that subset of wealthiest players. And if they are part of that subset and JUST have an apartment, they likely won’t want to participate in a gil sink.

Gold sinks in games in general need to be willing/tied to something NEW that players will know they’ll want.

IE a mount, or a minion, or hair, or a barding, or a subscription token. They need to be a LOT - 20mil+.

Targetting apartment owners isnt a gil sink - it’s just petty.
