Post Your Solution For Gil Generation

[Codek]

I think you missed the point entirely. Whether or not someone crafts/gathers to increase their personal wealth is not the issue at stake here. The only way to GENERATE gil by crafting is either completing leves (ok) or npc-ing the products (bad). Selling wares on the market board only moves gil from one person to the next (and actually REMOVES gil from the economy via tax).

Why are we still excluding the market board from Gil generation? Every MMO uses the market as the best means of generating currency (from the players stand point). Yes, you using the market board will not add anything to the economy, but you alone also don't need to make all the Gil that you plan to use in the economy either. The market board is a way to simplify the flow of currency across the servers economy as a whole.

The amount of currency generated by those who level is the defining feature of what fuels the market. Ignoring the new currency from new characters is ignoring the basis of the economy. Your basically ignoring this entire flow of Gil by excluding the market boards entirely.

Unless someone can flat out show that the total amount of Gil gained by all players leveling and doing Leve's is less then what goes to the Gil sinks, then I can't see why there would be a short flow of Gil.

This thread should just be re-named to "How can I make Gil on a dead server?".

And, if your really concerned about a specific servers market, then you can just make a new character!
