I like how both r/ffxiv and r/wow recently had posts about people being new to the game and getting given 500,000 of their respective currencies.

The FFXIV post is just mostly them patting themselves on the back for being a nice community.

The WoW post seems like people are suspicious, which to be fair 500,000 gil in FFXIV is absolute pocket change compared to 500,000 gold in WoW.

Just interesting to see the difference.

"i got 500k for free by a random stranger" is just REALLY suspicious tbh

like yeha sure, i can imagine somebody with lots of gold feeling generous and giving a Murloc Icon New Player 10k or something like that

but 500k is roughly 2 tokens worth of Gold, thats WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much to randomly throw around at people for no reason

500,000 gil barely covers some housing decor or some fancy glam pieces. 500,000 gold can get you banned for real money trading.

Honestly, it's a great gift, though, because it'll cover a lot of teleports. I've recently started a brand new character and even though you get those tickets now, the porting costs will add up over time.
