kinda but not quite. Since currency in an mmo is virtual, inflation simply happens when more gil is being generated than being taken out of the system.

Inflation happened fast and quickly the first time around because not only were the fish bots npc'ing caps, but really the only thing people were spending gil on that took the gil out of the system was dynamis. Everything else just circulated.

Unfortunately, things like dynamis/limbus/etc. no longer really applies, so even without the bots inflation this was bound to happen anyway.


As for ffxiv, they tried to fix it via the repair dudes, but like typical SE, it took them forever to try and get that right, and the damage is already done.

They need to put something in the game that is expensive that helps to take money out of the system, then they can change the price once gil levels out.
