Gil problem

[BubblyBoar]

For all the people who can't imagine where "new gil" comes from, it comes from new players and NPCs.

So what happens when the gil that new players get from NPCs dries up?

So what happens when the gil that new players get from NPCs dries up?

I had this concern as well. Before the game went into release, I had a feeling that leveling up a DoM / DoW first to 50 might be a bad idea for me, because of all the Gil sinks and the little Gil to be made from being a 50 DoM / DoW.

To take advantage of all the people rushing to level 50 and not concerning themselves with Gathering / Crafting, I decided to rush Mining and Goldsmith to 50 in order to make a profit off of all their gold they got from quests leveling to 50.
If nothing is done, I really foresee a problem --> When people are mostly at 50, and their are not so many side quests and such to be done (where the majority of the Gil seems to come from), what happens then? People tell me they basically lose more money than they gain in repair costs! Does this mean that someone who just wishes to play a DoM / DoW is going to be forced to pick up gathering and/or crafting?
