Gil is worthless.

[vetch]

Not really people are pointing out how op is saying how gil is worthless then back peddling saying it's worth something after people pointed out how their ideas will cause hyperinflation. And the people asking for gil are only saying that considering they made claims gil was worthless and if it was worthless then why not hand out gil only for them to say it's worth too much in value irl and in game. I don't think anyone was serious about asking for gil either and only making a point that the op made of it being "so worthless".

The only place OP fucked up was using hyperbole in the title, because there have been people who reply after reading only the title since the internet's infancy. The actual body of the post supports my interpretation.

Inflation is caused when more money is added into a system than is taken back out, and that's exactly what happens in FF14 because the new money being created (e.g. from daily roulettes) far outpaces the small expenses like repairs, market taxes, and teleports.

OP is suggesting adding more trade goods people will want to buy, which is a mildly deflationary measure because the marketboard will extract additional taxes as players trade them -- though I assume he wants them added so he can enjoy spending his money on things he feels are 'worthwhile' rather than because he's ideologically committed to deflation.
