Post Your Solution For Gil Generation

Was it so hard to just remove any currency, like Path of Exile? By far, last time i played it, it was the most perfect and succesful economy ever seen on an mmo.

Path of Exile isn't an MMO it's an ARPG ..

poe also has currency, it's just not global. you trade orbs, and stuff is measured in orbs, rather than a global currency like gold or gil...

I also think that money is easily obtained in the game. If people refuse to farm/gather/craft it's their own fault. And it seems to me that people rush to 50. They also try to get the best equipment as fast as possible and earning some gil to maintain their dungeon grinding is a waste of time. Sure alot of gil is going to NPCs instead to other players at the moment but its not that bad as some people say it. I can't understand why people can grind FATEs and dungeon all day long, but earning gil is boring on the other hand. All in all it's to early, the economy needs to stabilize first. In my opinion undercutting like crazy is the biggest issue at the moment. People sell stuff at prices that absolutly make no sense. For example Silver Rings are cheaper than Silver Ingots.

because that's the mmo-mentality today

The problem, my friend, is that most of the MMO-mentality today includes playing for two weeks and being in full endgame gear so you can go around showing off your cool armour to everyone. When this isn't possible, it will be considered a grind.
It would be fun to see these people back in the old MMO days where stuff was actually hard to obtain.

And I think thats why many MMOs fail these days. People grind as fast as possible and side activities aren't interesting. So people get bored really quick and leave the game, because dungeon grinding and earning no gil while doing that is no fun at the end.
