Crafting Economy Update Request

We don't need more ways to generate gil.



This is a bad idea.

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?

Because it generates gil from nothing. The player driven economy takes gil from other players and doesn't create new gil.

What this would do is drive costs through the roof for market board items, as gil is created from nothing when items are npcs.


It already generates too much. I've gained something like 40 mil in the last year doing nothing but play the game. No market board selling. I have 140 mil and nothing to spend it on because the housing lottery is terrible, teleports cost me nothing because of farmable aetheryte tickets, the gil mounts are hideous, and I can make my own crafted gear when I need to.

It would drive some things through the roof depending on how many are supplying. Materia is a good example of something that sells for a decent price naturally and also sells on the Market Board for a good price as well excluding new raid patch days, and there are times where people try to sell for below what NPCs will buy them for. Generating gil for nothing isn't necessarily true though, as you're giving up time to obtain the materials.
