Thread: how to make 10mil+ gil a day (and its effect on 2.0?)

There's going to be new servers when 2.0 launches. If you are that worried about the economy because of current activities, start fresh on a new server.

Just means they need to make gil sinks for the new players, like buying land (just put some safeguards to stop them from reselling or buying more than one) and all the stuff for building. I'm sure this alone will be expensive and something for new players to work towards and will be a privilege for older players to be able to afford off the hop. if they pay it to the NPC then the money effectively disappears. just a thought, if not then it just might be a huge issue for the economy and new players.

On a serious note I feel like if you are willing to subject yourself to the shitty laggy vendoring process for 16 hours a day you probably deserve a little gil

True indeed. Its not as though its a QUICK way to make money.

Also look at it this way... If we get MORE gil so gil is worth less...isn't that exactly the same as taking gil away so gil is worth more? When SE says they're reducing the gil volume by 90%, you shrug and say its no big deal because its just a shift in denomination. Well its the same for when gil inflates. This isn't the real world, this is a bubble. So inflation can never really ruin anything, because there's no alternate currency to base it on.

That's what I'm planning on doing. I wonder if they'll encourage new players to choose the new servers?

Or has an army of bots to follow you around like the RMT's do at cedarwood :P


Like in real life the problem would be the rich are getting richer then everyone else (the rate is disproportional). So at some point (or now you could argue) we have a problem. 1% has 90% issue.

Well everyone can still charge more for what they're selling. They can keep in mind that a lot of players have a lot more gil now, and therefore charge more.

How much is the Gil to American Dollar exchange rate these days?
