How will new players perceive this game? (A pessimistic outlook)

[darkstarpoet1]

Those were a list of suggestion to move gil around the game some. Sorry but I do not buy the "spending millions" thing Since you spent millions leveling crafts in ffxi... and AH stuff low level at max was 5K.
If you guys do not wanna do it fine by me. Just no reason to bash me for it. Any crafter who uses the excuses of time or money used = your prices really took this gane too seriously and are using real life economic concepts which isn't how vitural ecomonies are.

Threse crafts are classes you level up. Not jobs were you earn salery, you role is to prove the community with gear. Just as it is the gathers role to supple the community with materials as well ass the war and magic classes. Instesad of actually being a community and "working to gether, people went on the self sufficant path and corprate mindset.

Honestly get your head outa the clouds and realise part of the issues are the crafters. We knew from the start this game was gonna rely heavily on crafting. So why did it all go to poo?

you can say the job of the gathering classes is to support crafting all you want, but go take a look at the prices for leveling up crafting that are set by the gathering classes. i know you want to make it seem as though the crafters are all to blame, but you need to look at the prices set by others.

just take a look at leather working or weaver. for a leather worker to rank up in the 30's they will need 10+ stacks of buffalo hides. those hides sell in wards for 10K+ each. for a weaver to rank up they need thousands of cotton bolls and those run for 3k each in the wards.

don't blame the crafters for passing on the costs set by the gathering and battle classes in the rates that are charged in the wards. if you want to blame anyone you should start by blaming those classes for charging the crafters so much in the first place then expecting cheap goods. i give out alot of stuff in this game from gear to mats to gil so do not assume because i do not do it for people i do not know that i will not help out friends or ls members.

if you want to go the route of what role each plays then the role of the battle classes and gathering classes is to provide the crafting classes the materials at a decent price. if you want cheap goods you cannot charge high prices for the leveling materials.

So where is the Bank of eozea? The Eorzea IRS? Oh wait they do not exist because it is a game economy which isn't run like a real life one.

tell that to the game when every time i sell something that i am taxed on my goods that i made and sold.
