    Not everyone who gets a relic (or multiple relics) buys gil.

    RMTing it is stupid, IMO, but it's their money. I have more important things to spend mine on, like food and rent, but if people wanna throw it away let them.

    Hes saying why not RMT the gil instead of using it on a relic. Kitchen go.

    Or ... could just not bother making that much fucking gil to begin with and spend time playing the game instead of farming, which was a boring grind!

    Sounds like a winnar to me.


    And yeah I didn't realize he meant RMTing the gil instead.

    Yeah fuck it tried to edit this twice for clarity and I think it's just time to go to bed.

    I understand getting multitudes of certain relics, due to a shit is situational factor. But really, is there a purpose to getting a Mandau / Apoc / Bravura and Amano other than "HERP IM WASTING CURRENCY, DERP"? You cant even use them all to their max potential.

    buying gil is as bad as renting a place to live, throwing your money out the window either way you look at it

    only difference is that people who buy gil most likely have enough of the green stuff to not care whereas people who rent their living accommodations are usually poor(ish)

    Retarded; so many variables go into building equity via home / apartment ownership.

    you're trolling right? I can't think of any other way to explain how you could be so retarded.

    Depends how you make your money. For the past few months I've made my money not mainly through crafting or farming normal mobs and such, but by getting a friend or two and going "hey wanna try fighting XYZ" be it an NM or a battlefield in a way we haven't done before, and just trying new things which have proved fruitful. I'm sure I've not done anything novel by BG standards, but for me and my friends it's been fun and made us money, so yeah.

    And furthermore, some people like meriting or camping HNM, some people like making money. Whatever floats your boat!

    Investment wise in the U.S., renting is a waste of money. Rent out a place for as long as you'd like, and whenever you move out, all the money you spent stays with the landlord and you're no more an owner of anything than the new tenant replacing you.

    And you're also not responsible for any of the maintenance/upkeep of the property and pay a lower amount to live there than it would cost to own it.

    Real estate is nowhere near as black and white as 'you're throwing your money away by renting'.

    moar relics plz

    Not that it's on topic at all, but lets say it's 3 years ago and you bought a house for $350,000, paying 2k/month on your mortgage.
    Fast forward to now. You've spent 72k on your mortgage, but now your house is worth $200,000. If you sold it for $200,000 and used it to pay down your mortgage, you would still owe the bank 78k and wouldn't have a house. In effect, you've paid at least $4166/month in rent. I say at least because this assumes that you spent literally $0 on the upkeep of the house that your rent agency would have taken care of. If you dropped $1000 here or there as tends to happen when you buy a house and are modifying it to be a home/taking care of it, you're probably looking at something closer to $4.5k/month. Just going by the my perception of the demographics of this board exact scenario has probably happened to many posters here.

    I rent for <$1000/month. It's convenient and I didn't get screwed by the housing market collapse. In 2005, everyone would have agreed with your advice that taking out a 15 year mortgage on a $350,000 house is entirely the right thing to do compared to renting. ... But in 2005 you'd have been wrong. Right now, you're probably right that the market has bottomed out and the value of any house bought now will increase over the next 10-15 years, but I think I'll stick to renting for a few more years.

    I hate this mentality that a majority of people uphold as a standard. Just because you're (generalization) bored/broke/whatever doesn't mean others have to "sell gil" because you don't deem their enjoyment as worthy. If that's the case, stop playing now and sell you're account because the after the first few years "it loses its novelty and kinda gets boring."

    the gil part is trollin, wanted to make a really bad analogy

    renting is for tards tho, if you pay 800$ a month in rent you can pay a mortgage. if you can't get one on your own get your parents to cosign

    if you are a student or your parents are dead i exclude you from that tard statement, otherwise it applies
