    -Repairing gear by the player is something that needs to be expanded further, as it is, I'm not even sure its cost effective.
    very fair question

    I would personally probably charge what would perhaps be a fair use of my time in claiming the dark matter vs cost of repair by default.. for example if a body piece near broken costs 300 gil to repair would it be a fair use of my time to say farm 99 grade 5 dark matter in an hour and only charge you say 50 gil per 1 used ? that 1hr net me a little under 5k and gets you a steep repair discount. It would drive more player farming and overall help foster the growth of the economy by saving the people who want to just dungeon their gil for a little time spent finding a repair player.

    After seeing inflation issues in so many other games, I am rather enjoying the economy in ARR so far. I've not bothered selling much yet, a few items for <1k, but I've made about 100k mostly from progressing through the story/quests. I usually take the Allagan currency option to sell for gil.

    Wow, its really sad how dumb some of you people are. Sorry I don't mean to be rube but some of you are trolling away but you are in fact morons. Yes, individuals can make a lot of money right now in the market, but the profit is coming at a loss to the customer and an overall loss of total GIL in the world due to tax. The customer has little or no legit way to recoup what they are spending right now on the market, and once they finish the main story its GG. The people who spent all of their story GIL are eventually going to be broke as frack due to tele and repair costs. If the economy stays the way it is now, the people who made all the money in the market will eventually be broke too it will just take a lot longer. How is that not a broken system?

    Any long time MMO player has to notice from the beginning levels that there is a Gil problem with the game.

    I agree that this is a problem we are facing. Especially on the non-legacy servers. However, I can't blame the system entirely. Currently, people are crafting/gathering and selling items via market board as their main source of income. If this is the way things stay, you can be sure that the economy will dry up. It is my personal belief that we can resolve this little epidemic ourselves though, and once it becomes a noticeable problem, we probably will. There are other avenues of income. Most aren't hugely profitable though. Lately, I have been doing tradecraft leves because my current level in Carpenter doesn't afford me a lot to sell for profit. I still make some decent money. It gets me by and I end the day with more than I spent. Anyhow, the point is this is probably what we'll have to resort to once things get bad, at least I think so. If it does, we'll at least know we're generating new money rather than shuffling it around with a 5% loss.

    Stop using gil sinks, stop dieing so your gear is not damaged as much. Sadly with such vast amounts of new players and presumably gil sellers all constantly making new characters just to get gil into the system, you just have to learn how to get it from them. I have sold over 50 stacks of Chicken egss at 5-10k a piece since release. I am not worried.

    Your gears durability goes down as you are in combat, not just when you die (quite a lot too). Welcome to any MMO...

    I have over 25k in Gil. And I even abuse the teleport skill constantly. I don't get it.

    It just means 1 gil will be worth a lot more than you think. This isn't like WoWs economy where you sell shit for 9 billion gold and its considered "a fair deal". A good rare item will prob be considered a fair price around like 200k in this game, who knows (just popping out numbers, nothing 100% sure lol). I'd rather have it that way anyway, as I don't like to farm 24/7 or sit on the market for hours on end to generate 2 years worth of gil just to buy one item.

    Its fine the way it is.
