Gil Issues @ 50

[Tristaris]

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.

I'm not against questing or whatever to earn gil. I'm not even disagreeing that crafting is a good source of PERSONAL income.

I'm disagreeing with the whole "well level a crafter!" argument. Hell I don't even "dungeon" grind all day. One or two dungeons cost between 1.5, and 2.5k gil for me. I don't even let things break completely.

4 leves net me around 1.5k or so after repairing.

I'd have to limit myself to one dungeon per day if I wanted to come out ahead at all, and then it is minor. Crafting should not be the "go to" because like myself, and many others have stated, if everyone has crafting leveled, there is no use for myself, or anyone else to purchase anything you have created and posted.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

I have a question. How many of you, in the process of going through 1-50 on a DoW/M without taking any detours, have found a use for the market board? From personal experience leveling 1-50 on ACN in the first week I don't even recall standing near it because all my potions/food/armor/weapons came from the quests. So when exactly are we fueling the market by making purchases? Need better equipment? Do more dungeons! If you are in need of making purchases as a DoW/M you unfortunately probably skipped all the quests. The way I see it once repairs are ironed out the point in leveling a crafting or gathering job is relatively moot unless it's alchemist or culinarian so let's be honest here, as DoW/M we already don't contribute to the economy so attempting to make any justification of "stimulating the economy" by lowering repair fees is only a partially informed way of getting at the problem. I agree something needs to be done about repairs but not because of economy sake but rather allowing player choice in their activities. Crafting needs to create items that will actually have demand rather than subpar versions of dungeon equipment that take much more effort to make and have even less of a demand when nobody will go out of their way to make gil on a dps to buy it when they can just run more dungeons.

I suggest we all hold our collective breath and see how things look after tomorrow's update.

I for one plan to start figuring out what I need to do crafting-wise to be able to do self repairs. I've been lazy with developing crafting, which I generally enjoy, but feared the expense of it all.

Why has no one touched on the fact that the OP is psycho and has many 50s? We are all listening to the rants of a champion shut in. The OP wants the rest of us who don't do as he does to feel bad because we don't do "work" in a game. Let's all take 5 minutes to think about how insane that statement sounds.

The solution is probably going to come in the form of reduced repair bills or increased gil rewards for leves to help counter balance. Crafting and Gathering should be fun and not "work". Although it blows my mind there are creatures on here that try to shame you for not doing them.

The stupidity in this post is beyond amazing.

So, by your logic, everyone should dedicate a hefty amount of time into crafting. Tell me, once everyone has their crafting leveled up and don't need you, or any other crafter, how do you intend on making any profit?

Have you even read any of the legitimate concerns?? Just because someone is/was level 50, has absolutely zero bearing on their concern.
