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

[Chiruru53]

FOr real, I can hardly make a dime. I have not gained any money since I started, I can't keep going like this. selling items is hardly worth it because stuff sells for dirt cheap and all it does is make me slightly richer and make another guy poorer, which is hardly right. Do you not see how the economy is being destroyed? at least make the level 50 instances drop gil, and not like 20g a mob either, that's still not enough. like maybe a random silver piece or two per mob or maybe a gil reward that's worthwhile for completing. like 3k. or something, for high level dungeons. 500g-1k for level 15 and up dungeons. not this 200g reward that I'm seeing. Did you honestly think this would work when you made repairs this high while everything vendors for 1-3gil no matter what it is? I want to farm my darklight and beat titan. I really do. But the repair bills are making it pretty near unmanageable, because as we all know, a duty finder titan isn't going t win, and I can't get into one on my server because I feel I am not ready for it (gear wise) and I cant gear efficiently because guess what? repairs out the wazoo.

at this point I am ready to welcome back experience loss upon death. it's not like exp is hard to get, no, it's gil. why do we need gear damage? it's stupid!



Yes I know there are many threads about this, but if enough complaints are made something might just be done about it.


Edit: I may have found a somewhat decent way to generate gil. I have leveled weaver from 15-36 using this easy, really cheap Leve in camp drybone (I am sure there are others) Called "Touch me if you can" where all you have to do is turn in a pair of cotton work gloves. I get about 630 gil if I turn in a HQ pair which is pretty easy to make I suppose. Unsure or not if that'd be profit or not, I don't feel like doing the math. If you're worried about mats, the reward gives you 18k xp ( which is a LOT considering the minimal work involved) 630ish gil, and it gives you either lightning crystals or cotton bolls which are mats for those work gloves. so essentially you could make an endless stream of those gloves if you so desired. You can even do it in low level crafting gear to avoid the hefty bills since it isn't a hard synth at all., and wearing down your level 50 weaver gear on this would be pointless.

Side Note for the half-wits such as these fine people:

I know what you're saying, but I think that people, the OP included, are complaining that the gil fountain isn't in their Inn Room. Endgamers are used to raking in fountain gil from endgame activities. FFXIV isn't set up like that and they are QQing about it. FFXIV has tiny gil fountains all over the game to spread the gil out over all players instead of making the fountain endgame heavy.

So now that endgamers have to actually work to make gil instead of having it handed to them from their endgame activities, they are QQing all over the place and inventing this gil issue. Its fairly humorous to watch actually.

lol some of these people powered their way to level 50 did not bother to do any tradecrafts now upset oh well.

It shows how ignorant you are,. for one, I didn't power my way to 50, I had 3 50's in 1.0, had zero difficulty making gil, I had miner level 41 as my farming class and it made me good money.

Now I have started Weaver, It's Lv 40 now, started it in phase four. Know how much it has made me? outside of that before mentioned Leve, Nothing. I do not sit in my inn room all day unless I am taking a break. When I do TRY to make gil, It just doesn't happen. Electrum ore sells for garbage, and people farm the crap out of the mats from the mobs I need, so there's competition there, plus I'm fighting monsters so hey look, gear damage that will need repairs, how about that. So saying that I do not try is supremely ignorant and since you know absolutely nothing about how I spend my time on here, I suggest you keep your mouth shut.

Playing the AH does nothing for anybody but myself so I have zero interest n partaking because I am one of the enlightened ones apparantly that sees where it'll be going. I do not want a huge increase in my own wealth, but an increase in the SERVER'S ECONOMY. Please, learn to read before making such uninspired posts.

Also to the tags that I have since erased: Shouldn't of rushed to 50? want to know how many classes I have leveled to 50 in 2.0? NONE. NOT ONE. I have just been working on weaver, at a steady pace while working on side quests and the main story.

Please stop with the unbased assumptions when you know absolutely nothing.

By the way, thanks for NINJA EDITING your post with this new info and using my reply. Very classy.

You're welcome. It's not New info as you put it, it's dumbing it down so people can comprehend the issue easier. No body cares what you make by playing the AH, that is NOT generating gil for anyone but yourself.

As a tank the gil from dungeons really hurts my feelings, and my gil. Because I repair out of pocket.

*shrug* I'm a tank and I'm sitting at 500k gil Of course, I'm also a miner and armorer.

Solution: Make dark matter obtainable by DoL and make DoH slightly usefull again.

Not sure why they made it so you had to buy dark matter for some reason.

Your personal wealth is irrelevant to the economy as a whole, you only have more because someone else has less. Trading on the market board only worsens the situation as it siphons additional gil out of the economy.

Um ... yea that's how economy works. Some have more, some have less. You introduce money into the economy w/o the backing and you introduce inflation, making gil worthless.

No, this is not the recipe for a functional economy. My comment in regards to what Scrubbs said is that is his personal wealth is irrelevant to the situation as a whole, because it is. I am well aware that in any economy some will always have more than others. The problem here is that eventually no one, but a select few playing the market will have nothing, because there's such a massive deflation in the economy after the initial monetary gain through the storyline.

I'll say what I always to people who don't work but complain about not having money. Get a job!

[ShadowKuraido]

I have almost a mil now also, doing quests, playing the market, crafting etc and im only lvl 45... also a TON of gil is constantly being injected into the game. There is a constant stream of fates that are taken down within 1-2 minutes of popping. Each of these gives the 50-100 or even more players zerging them 50-90 gil a each.

If you look at the small picture 60-100 gil per fate doesnt seem like much but when you realize 50-200 players all are getting this reward constantly per fate and among several zones it adds up to hundreds of thousands of gil per hour. Add the gil from duengon runs, quests, selling trash mats/ items to shops from monster drops...

Im just not seeing the problem people complain that its hard to make money but it just isnt true.
