Eventual Economic Disaster

[Vanidin]

Just a quick question... Ever played FFXI?

Quick question... what's your point? I played FFXI. It had plenty of ways to introduce new gil into the economy, and with less gil sinks (airships were fixed rate, teleports didn't remove gil from the economy to name a few differences) it worked fine, it was balanced quite well I thought. You could spend time fishing and actually make a decent profit. You could craft items simply to vendor and make profit worth your time, at least until gilsellers ruined it.

FFXI is a different situation from XIV. It was designed with enough inputs to counterbalance the outputs. In FFXIV however the player base as a whole operates at a trade deficit... and we can't take out bonds from the empire to cover the difference.

Oh yeah, to the OP: you should have added your comments to this thread instead of starting your own. The search function is your friend.
