    The problem isn't with earning gil. The problem is that, aside from new players leveling up their first job, there is very little NEW gil coming into the economy. Selling things on the market boards do not generate gil, but move it from one player to another. There are gil sinks in this game, like repairs and vendor purchased items (taking money OUT of the player economy), but very little gil fountains, like quest rewards or boss dropped gold (putting money INTO the player economy)

    That said, daily quests are penciled in for the next patch, however I would really like to see Leves get an overhaul; in terms of both Objectives and Rewards.

    There's effectively no gil going out of the economy. We're experiencing horrible inflation already because nothing costs gil. Put in a little work, and you can turn in leves for up to 50,000 new gil into the economy every day, pulled out of thin air. This is why everyone and his mother is sitting on piles of gil right now. Just leveling crafters on leves will pull down 10k per day at a bare minimum.

    Putting more gil into the economy is a bad thing. There aren't any sinks, so the gil just builds up and inflation goes nuts (and it already has). Creating more means of increasing the amount of gil will just accelerate the problem. At this point, houses will have to cost 10,000,000 gil to even begin to get a handle on the problem.

    There currently is no inflation, Don't assume that because MB items are so expensive, that is has anything to do with players having piles of gil. RMTs, and the occasional greedy/stupid player are the only ones charging an arm and a leg on MB. Prices aren't up because peopel have the money, in fact, more players have trouble making gil then earning it.
