    And frankly, you just have no idea wtf you're even talking about. Lemme break this down for you:

    Yoshi admits there's not enough gil being generated. He has specific, real #s to go off of. Those of us who know something about economics could see this was a fact even without his statement (although his statement backs up what we've been saying).

    Your assertion to the contrary has nothing but speculation to back it up.

    Ok, so, in the simplest terms possible:

    Facts are more valid than speculation.
    Fact: Repeatable leves can generate 1500 gil for HQ turn-ins x 3 in Coerthas. 4500 per total turn in if you are geared correctly and can HQ. At 100 leves x 4500 gil you will have made 450,000 gil. Of course that's if you have banked all the leves. If not, 6 daily leves x 4500 gil = 27,000 gil. Or you can wait the 17 days for a full 100 leves.

    Pure profit assuming you also gather. You can use the market to buy your mats at the cost of your own profit.

    Fact: People do not want to spend the time or effort to level gathering or crafting.

    Fact: That's their problem.

    Speculation: Yoshi-P saying there is not enough money being generated.

    Fact: You can 'farm' goods as a DoW or DoM to put up on the market, such as gathering and crafting materia, drops for crafting, tomes for potash, coke etc.

    Fact: By asking for more gil generation, you are in turn asking for more inflation.

    Fact: The gil sinks is what gives gil a base value. Removing sinks, or even reducing them, reduces the value of gil.

    Is that enough fact for you? Or would you like more? In any economy, there is always someone who works harder and profits more. Since each player is their own 'business' only the ones who are willing to work harder profit.

    TLDR: you're doing it all wrong.
