What's the point for $50m Gil to do the Cloud beta test if you can't keep it?

[Nighthawky2010]

Even though I did create a character on the Cloud beta & bought some items with the $50m Gil, what is the point when the character & everything purchased including the $50m Gil will be deleted? I definitely misunderstood Yoshi when he said he would give $50m Gil. I thought that it was a reward given to my main character in my main world for creating a new character & playing on the Cloud beta.

Do money isn't an issue while testing.

You answered your own question, its just to buy gear and such to jump in and do w/e quicker, they never said the gil was a reward.. They just want as many players on there to stress test and see how well it holds up with the variety of regions playing together, that is all...

its just to buy gear...

from whom? LOL, unless you're buying low level vendor stuff, then again you're most likely using your synced gear for low level roulettes.

Nah, it's there so ppl on the cloud beta test server can try buying a house on it... >.>

[Musashidon]

it's for all the poor people who can't keep more than 2gil on their retainers so they can see how it feels to have a lot of gil.

the reward for participating in the cloud beta is a better cloud server altogether. which is a win for everyone.

oh you mean diong the runs as intended and not have the stat creep from overlevel equipment. XD

I thought at first you got to keep the 50 mil but then read and found out you didn't. What's the point of helping out with the testing for no rewards and loosing precious playtime.

[Jeeqbit]

The point is to help them test it to see if there are problems that happen when using a cloud server (which involves virtual servers that can scale) instead of their own physical machines.

It’s to give everyone the chance to feel poor again.
I mean really, after they said they’re unable to remove gil from the game as fast as they want, why would they hand out billions upon billions? It would completely destroy the economy of every data centre/zone with notable participation rates.
