Its happened :/ - resorted to new character for Gil.

[math101]

But we're nowhere near that point yet, and there actually are gil fountains in this game. It's just that no one wants to do any of the work involved, so they burn through teleports and repairs and then look at their gil and scream economic terms they've never learned the definition of.

Playing should at least be self sustainable by doing the things you want, i.e. playing only battle classes. Everything else is economical suicide for SE. Catering to those 1% who will raise all required crafting professions to max [to not be in the net loss GIL area] won't keep the remaining 99% playing for to long. Either those 1% are happily paying 1000$ per month, or SE better starts making endgame GIL neutral for DoW/M.
