YOSHI FIX THE DANG GIL ISSUE THAT IS KILLING OUR PLAYERS!!!

[lavosslayer]

It definitely seems to me like they are trying to suck the legacy servers gil dry so that they can level the playing field before introducing more enjoyable and simpler ways to generate money in the game. I think it was the simpler and more subtle way to get rid of their gil without blatantly stealing it from them.

Im really surprised on either 1 how stupid people are, or how lazy they are. So many people complaining about repair costs, if it bothers you THAT much then level a crafting class and REPAIR YOUR OWN DAMN GEAR. The vendor items to repairyour own gear are pitiful costs in comparison to merchant repairing, might be an idea to do it yourself.

Sure DM is free that way, it magically appears out of nowhere... and forcing People that want to do dungeons, to Level all crafting classes to 50 except cul, seems so to fit the " we make a game that casuals can Play too"... Compared to this V1 gave me more of a casual Feeling.

This.
Especially if you can buy the items cheaper in the AH than the leves give you.
There are enough money sources. The problem is that people ignore them most. Or nobody would sell Ether under 30 gil.

Am I the only one that thinks something is totaly wrong with the economy if Items sell so low on the market that it's more worth to trade it to NPCs? O_o
Isn't it a clear sign that something is wrong if stuff is sold so cheap on the market that you can buy it from there and sell it to an NPC and make Profit?

Im sorry but who is forcing you to do anything? its mearly a means to make repairs cheaper for yourself. You dont HAVE to do anything.

I would like to add my complete and utter dismay at people trading the Allagan pieces on the Marketboards... Not only the muppets who sell them, but the idiots that buy them. THere is a 5% levy on the marketboards, so there is a 5% loss. What is the point? Sure the odd person may be trolling, but at my last check there were 347 postings of Allagan pieces! *double facepalm*

Japan has been in recession for the past years, i think they copied Japan's economy too much into FFXIV... no wonder FFXIV has an economy in recession at launch.

1. Farm Tomestones of philosophy in AK or wherever you prefer.
2. Buy rare crafting materials at revenants toll for 125 tomestones.
3. Sell for 100k+
4. profit.

God you people are idiots. SELLING STUFF TO THE MARKET DOES NOT GENERATE GIL BUT SIMPLE MOVES IT AROUND FROM PLAYER TO PLAYER.

Doesn't much matter to me as long as it's moving it around in my direction.

Repair at NPCs. Its A LOT cheaper than use 1 Dark Matter for each piece of gear. I dunno why you guys need so much money since money is almost worthless in this game. You dont need money to get good gears. My money is just sitting there doing nothing.

It's really painful that people are STILL missing the point. Here, let me tell you why your proposed "solutions" are still problem-causers:

1. Repair it yourself: You do know that in order to repair the lv50 (hell, let's even push it down to lv40) equipment people are wearing, a large amount of gil is needed to level those DOL and DoH classes? Level 1-35 is easy and costs very little, but that stretch from 35-50 is a massive gil sink. In addition, those higher level materials you need? You can either buy it off the Market Boards, which only just move gil from one player to another, while 5% of that gil vanishes into thin air, or you have to farm for the materials, which causes the player to push money into repairs from NPCs, which ALSO results in gil vanishing into thin air. NEITHER or these options GENERATE gil from the GAME ITSELF. There are only SINKS involved.
