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

All in all, we can all agree that to make money for your repair is going to take a lot of effort or smart marketing. I think that part is fine.
The economy in the game is going to decline eventually though, Legacy servers won't notice it in a long time, but new ones will eventually.

Don't forget that dying only lowers durability by 2%. You'd have to die 50 times to fully break your gear and I would be very surprised if you could do that in a 90 min dungeon.
I can see the issue of people wanting to only do dungeons and still be able to afford repair bills, but this game just sadly won't be able to give you that.

The game is relatively new and I'm pretty sure SE will add more gil fountains into the game with new content patches. There has already been talk about daily quests (not leves) so we'll just have to wait and see.


PS. Spoken by a new person to the game playing on a Legacy server. I know the issues of gil earnings very well.
