Post Your Solution For Gil Generation

[Kaliban]

Another option they could do is that they could give a gil bonus to areas that you have rep in. Seeing as we do not have reputation issues now, it could be that we can be given a gil reward by selling to our GC home city OR in lieu of the GC supply/provision badge reward we could get currency pieces or straight gil. Have there be a bonus for the HQ like there is currently. That would help in addition to allowing for player repairs and gathering DM again (this was in Beta3 iirc so I am not sure why it was changed in live). Or maybe give discounts for repairs at GC? I know these wont completely correct it but it will/can help.

Gil generation or Girls Generation :P

We don't need millions of millions of gil.

I would sooner there been a near perfect balance of Gil in and Gil out.

But anyway, In response to the thread, there is already a way of gil generation in the economy. Higher level DoH leves are (within time bounds) infinite and produce boundless amount of gil. What I don't understand about people in this thread is what they thought the purpose of the DoH was? Merchants are primary money makers, not adventurers and this was by intentional design. You cannot be self sufficient by just leveling a DoW, which is what people want. Unfortunately, that's not how life (or the system in the game) is. Different paradigms were generated for the purpose of being played...

The amount of time farming mats for that "boundless gil" you are refering to ruins the enjoyment of the game for a lot of players. If you enjoy DoH than by all means go for it. But a lot of us dont.
As for undercutting he means he can make more SELLING to a vendor than on the boards, not buying.

Really all they need to do is allow dark matter to be gathered like it was before.

I can understand people saying that these people should just craft/gather in order to generate cash. That can work as a method for generating gil for the server (selling to NPC's) and as a way to make good money on the AH. However, I also understand the people who say they don't like crafting/gathering and they don't play an MMO to feel like they have a second job (outside of whatever they do in the real world to pay for their house..family..video game habits..ect).

Another point is this...whats the point of crafting to make money..if everyone else is required to craft also in order to play the game? If EVERYONE is running around as a lvl 50 crafter/gatherer than who the heck am I going to sell things to? Crafters should be able to craft and sell to a non-crafting community of people who choose to spend the majority of their time doing other things in the game.

Well said my friend!

1) Leves award 6 allowances per 24 hours. This amount to roughly 3000 gil.
2) FATE- Roughly 95 gil per FATE.
3) Guildhest- 240gil after first completion bonus.
4) One-time only quests- Roughly 250,000 gil altogether.

Anyone else know of ways to CREATE gil that can fit into the majority of people's schedules?

Future solutions that devs may incorporate:

-After completing Hunting Log, make a repeatable weekly pafe that awards gil in place of exp.
-Creat a Bounty Board in adventurer's guild that allows hunting of NMs for gil.
-Increased amount of gil gained by selling to NPC
-Lowered repair costs
-Daily quests that award a fair amount of gil(suggested 10000 gil.)

The ironic thing is they're kind of setting us up for RMT dependence. If the only real way for gil to be generated remains the main story, and the cross-account limits remain in place, the only people who will be able to really generate gil will be RMT. Normal players won't have the time, or be willing, to be doing the main story every other week so they can keep up w/ repair costs. And even if they did, they aren't even able to send that gil to their main character currently due to the cross-account limits. So the only people it's practical for are RMTs. They'd basically have the economy by the balls...

But most of the Gil sold via RMT is stolen from hacked accounts, just like with every other MMO out there.

Yeah, it's hilarious how SE is so scared of RMT that they've taken such insane measures, and these measures have actually ENCOURAGED RMT to exist. They will be the ones keeping the economy alive, not the real players.
