Can we get rid of Gysahl Greens?

[godvivec]

I'm not sure the point of these things. It seems to be a pointless gatekeep for the Chocobo, and is more an annoyance than any sort of useful mechanic. Running out is annoying, going into open world battles realizing your Chocobo ran out of time is annoying. Or, you could just stock up on 999 and bypass whatever it's suppose to gatekeep you against, I suppose.

All in all, why do they still exist?

We should be able to just summon the Chocobo, like mounts and minions. Greens could be used to give a buff or deleted all together.

Just more nostalgia than anything at this point honestly. They never really did anything else with the system like summoning other types of creatures for example.

Not a big deal, but a change that would be a positive QoL. One less item in the inventory at least. Hell, even if we had to keep buying it, whatever, just add it to the collections list lol.

[Maxilor]

I agree. Add Gysahl Greens to the Collections so I don't need to keep them in my bag anymore.

Just like armor repair and fast travel expenses, it's a gil sink.

If armor repair, teleportation, and gysahl greens are supposed to sink my gil then they aren't doing their job very well lol

It's not really meant to sink the gil out of your pocket alone.
It might only be 5k gil per day for you, but multiply that by every player playing the game. It all adds up to an awful lot of gil being destroyed every day.

I spend 5k gil a day teleporting to get things to make 500k gil

Do you get that gil from the market? Then 500k didn't enter the economy, 5k left the economy, plus market tax. The goal of sinks in MMOs is not to empty any given account but to remove money from circulation from the overall economy: You don't notice the impact of teleporting that much but it is removing high millions (possibily approaching multi billion, if the average player spends 500 on teleporting per day) of gil per day from the economy. A good sink is very subtle and not noticeable on an individual basis.

Most people are not teleporting a bunch to access gil 'faucets,' which are mostly quests, queues, and selling to vendors. Vendors aren't profitable, quests aren't repeatable, leaving queues as the main gil faucet in the game, and they aren't crazy fast.

considering they're 36 gil for half an hour, or 72 for an hour, that's... literally not sinking any gil from the economy at this point, you spend that much teleporting within the same zone for goodness sake
