Post subject:  I don't get this shit
Most gil-buying sites advertise gil for $19-$22 per million gil. How the hell do these places make money? Seems like each gilseller has to be making a million gil every 1-2 hours for these companies to make any profit. I know that gilsellers have a vast monopoly on all money NMs in the game, but something just doesn't seem to add up. I just don't see how these companies consistantly make 10 million gil per employee, per day, every day of the week. Because that's what it seems like it would take to stay profitable. Maybe I'm missing something here.

My understanding is many are from countries with a low per capita income which would mean that this is an easy cash cow for them and it's filtering money out of the U.S. and Japanese economies so it's also good for them in the trade balance. This is why I believe the real enemy is the gil buyer. No demand = no profit.

meh im not gonna start in with anything last thread was ew,
but for shits in giggles i tried to see how mcuh money you can make off these guys if i had like 1 mil. i find out the lowest you can send to them is 20 mil i think (something around that) and you only get like 5 bucks for it i think it adds 50 cents fo every mil their after.

but i dunno how ppl can make money off this game =/ i mean you'd have to make (hypotheticly speaking) 60mil a month just to pay for the game

(note: i dunno everythign exactly just poped in to see so i could actually post something somewhat informative in my postings of this week)

Well um just so you know. Centhea pretty much nailed it. The current exchange rate of USD to CNY is $20.00 - $165.530 CNY. CNY being the Chinese Yuan. http://www.xe.com/ucc/ The link send you to a currency exchange site.

I thought most gil buying tards also bought more then just 1 million gil at a time? Heck I can name quite a few morons that buy gil like it's going out of style just to look cool -.-;;

Hopefully, game will turn out like Diabolos once inflation will make money totally worthless and duping overfloor the market with the best item.

i figure, gil has inflated about 3-4x the amount it was 2 decembers ago

Item Before After
O.kote 400,000 1,700,000
Jujitsu Gi 100,000 500,000
Emp Hairpin 300,000 1,200,000
Haubergeon 1,400,000 2,000,000

even silent oils and other necessities have gone out of hand. I mean, who wants to pay 20k for some silent oils?
