We need more ways to make gold in this game.

HAHAHA I so have to laugh at this its not even funny anymore. I'm 50 and got over 300k in gil just by doing story and selling some stuff I got from quests here and there. I haven't even started Gathering or Crafting. Whats wrong with you people.

And here we have another person who completely misses the point of the thread and clearly did not read anything beyond the title.

The entire issue revolves around the fact that, *aside from the money you get from the story*, there are not many ways to make gil at level 50, at least not enough to offset the gil sinks that are repairs, teleports, AH tax, and so on. While one person may get rich by playing the auction house and selling their wares, that money is coming from other players. Individual wealth is irrelevant and is not what is being discussed in this thread.

"b-b-but what about muh crafting and gathering???"

Unless you propose that everyone sells everything they craft or gather to the NPC for 1 gil each, then this is not a solution. Selling via the auction house just shifts money around between players, it does not introduce more money into the economy to offset the gil that is disappearing into the void through repairs/teleports/etc. In fact, every time you sell on the auction house, money is being REMOVED from the economy because of the 10% tax.

In the future, you may wish to consider actually reading the topic you're replying to.
