This is NOT CREATED GIL.

This is REAPPROPRIATED GIL.

Stop confusing the two. By selling the proceeds of mining, you are taking someone else's gil. You can go and use that gil to repair, but they no longer can. You can use that gil to pay AH fees, but they no longer can.

The problem being discussed is that after the initial once-only activities there is no way to CREATE enough NEW gil to sustain outgoing gil. At the moment the issue is a little bit hidden (though not entirely) because people still leveling need to buy stuff from people doing the "hard content". Eventually the former section will slow down, while the latter section gets larger.

Please, for the love of god, stop posting in this thread if you are talking about any means of getting gil from other PLAYERS - this has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand.
