Crafting Economy Update Request

I would have just edited my last comment but I dunno how to edit via mobile.
We already have a surplus of Gil in the game. SE has demonstrated and have also told us that they want to reduce that. We saw that already in effect with leves getting nerfed, tp costs increasing an Gil mounts being added.

Can't believe I just figured out how to reply with a quote. I like the idea of gil mounts, personally. It gives a reason to make a lot of gil and gives the billionaires something to spend it on. There shouldn't be a ton of them, but a few is rather nice.

Hooray for learning something new!!
As a mount farmer, I agree. But I also just want all the mounts!

In a perfect world you wouldn't run out of mounts to farm. It's like Triple Triad cards. There's too many and they're all pull-your-hair-out frustrating to obtain, but once you do you look at your collection like "Well....now what?"

The only thing this does is drop the value of gil and creating artificial inflation.

And potentially a market for bots.

Of course they do lol, but not just the mb. They'd just sell to the vendors. Free gil.

^^This. A base price would at least combat it somewhat. Inflation would occur if the cost of items to purchase goes up, which has already been happening each expansion.

Like it or not Valkyrie, gil is mandatory for many activities. Many mounts cost gil, houses cost gil, teleportation cost gil, gear costs gil, raiding costs gill, etc. There are ways around it but for most people gil is necessary. This wouldn't be the most efficient way of making it so why do you think it's a bad idea?

The only thing in your list that actually requires Gil is a house.

Right, that's why I said "There are ways around it". Teleportation can use tickets, crafting can make the food and tinctures for savage/ultimate along with gear, mounts do require gil for some but not all. Gil just makes those examples substantially easier and quicker to obtain.
