    Not all gil sinks are voluntary... and if you're targeting a hoarder they are not going to voluntarily part with their gil cause they're a... wait for it... hoarder.

    Why not all of that with the involuntary gil sinks?

    And how much math has been shown IN THIS THREAD that 10k gil/week IS NOT DIFFICULT TO GET. You say "You keep targeting the poorer players" when it's shown that someone at endgame with a bit of motivation is going to easily earn that much and more gil, so the weekly cost of 10k gil is basically trivial.

    Because 10k a week does NOTHING. 25m+ or bust - otherwise it's a drop in the bucket and it WON'T WORK.

    Also, please pay more attention to what I'm saying.

    "Thinking that gilsinks targeting poorer players will work" =/= "You keep targeting poorer players". 10k gil a week is so easy to get that it WILL NOT BE A GIL SINK. It would be the same effectiveness as teleporting everywhere on gil alone would be. You keep contradicting yourself.

    Is a rent gilsink going to work? Or is the money so easy to get that it's trivial to poorer players? It CANNOT BE BOTH. That's why this idea won't work. Not even uping it to 100k per week would work because a poorer player earns that in a day doing simple roulettes at endgame. So which is it?
