Gil Issues @ 50

[Decoyninja]

I'll try to help with that. The complaints about gil revolve around gil being generated primarily via leveling quests which are finite. This introduces a problem since gilsinks continue exponentially into lvl50+ gameplay and questing stops. Playing the market as you suggest doesn't generate gil, it merely redistributes it while acting as a gil sink for the overall community through its taxation.

Everyone leveling and doing quests means the economy is flooded with gil. That will change when we all stop questing.

Only people complaining really are the level 50 peeps who are constantly rerunning dungeons. They are really not contributing anything to this game all they want is the greatest dungeon gear so they can keep rerunning the dungeons. The games only been out for a few weeks are these people just constantly going to rerun the same dungeons til new high level ones come out so they can constantly do them.

Heres an idea instead of doing these dungeons over and over again go out there try something new and make some gil. Take 3-4 days off of dungeons and go out there and make that money. Guess what the dungeons will still be there in a week, nobody is going to out gear you cause you are all gonna have the same high end gear since there is no new content for a few months.

blahshfgsdhs THATS WHAT PART OF MMO POPULATIONS ARE!!! You need these people to buy your crap! Jesus no one understands.

'I make money gathering! You should stop dungeoning and do that!'

'Okay!' *all players gather*

'omg the market is so bad now! Why is no one buying my stuff?'

'We all did what you said and leveled a gathering class for money! We don't need to buy that stuff anymore.'

Going and crafting or going and gathering IS NOT a fix! These all day dungeon runners are how you make your money. If they go broke, so do you eventually >.<

I'm complaining, and I do gather / craft to make money. Thing is, any idiot can see that the ways to CREATE gil bring in less or barely break even than what it costs to cover repairs doing said activities.

What about people who hate crafting? I find crafting to be mind numbingly boring, and always have. I'm practically forced to make a crafter/gatherer if I ever want money, which is silly.

This pathetic WoW generation is working so hard to ruin gaming forever.

Get over yourselves already. This self entitlement has to stop. Stop crying and demanding the game to be dumbed down to your level of laziness and ineptitude. MMORPG's are supposed to take work and effort. no legit MMO was ever designed for you to jump in, do mindless speed grinding to 50 in one week, and be rich at the same time. Get your lazy butts out there and earn some gil.

It's because of you guys games these days are getting too easy. I fear gaming is never going to be the same with this A.D.D generation of useless kids.

There are ways to create gil without crafting. But they don't involve doing the top dungeons 40 times a day... The game is fine, the problem is you guys.

Gil was ridiculously overabundant in FF XI and there were dozens of ways for battle classes to make money. You sold old gear. You had no repair costs. if you wanted to get rich, you crafted. If you wanted to break even, you did repeatable quests or farmed NM drops ON YOUR BATTLE CLASS. FF XI did so well for a reason. Not being able to make money without crafting is a joke.

Forcing everyone to craft for cash will saturate the market with crafting gear and no one will be able to make anything outside of high level crafting leves, which will make you less than 10k/day due to being limited in quantity. This will cover one full repair+the repair of crafting gear+teleports. This may be okay to always break even, but you wont be able to make money crafting anymore because everyone still playing when the battle classes economy totally crashes will be a crafter themselves

But its okay, youll just ignore me because I have a point

I loved the way the FFXI economy worked. But guess what. The cries of the new WoW kids demanded that MMO's be horribly simple. Hence, FFXIV...

This game could be so much better with FFXI's economy, skill system, and group based leveling. I play every MMO hoping it will be as rewarding as FFXI was. But nope, these kids can't have that, gotta be 50 in a week. Sad really.

For the record, group based leveling with skill chains was 10x funner than freaking dungeon/FATE grinding. Thanks WoW kids! What else are you going to ruin?

What about those of us that play the game... for fun..?

I'm not saying there should be a little effort into earning some gil to cover repairs. But I find the "well go level your crafting up!!!" argument stupid as hell.

I've played games that required a huge time sink, that was fun when I was younger and didn't have responsibilities outside of "making sure I am able to fund my repairs if a few friends and myself want to do a few dungeons later."

It shouldn't be a crime to take one day out of dungeon farming to concentrate on making gil instead, whether it be crafting or any other method. This was always standard in MMO's, and shouldn't be nothing new to any MMO gamer.
