67 Gil Chocobo Blinkers seriously?

after hearing about this nerf, i immediately sold all my dynamis currency. waiting for the inevitable price drop on currency due to RMTs over farming dynamis. then i'll just buy the rest of my apoc lol

RMT overfarming dyna, lol. That's pretty unlikely. You did probably do the right thing when selling your currency though, because at worst, prices will stay almost the same, but at best, prices will deflate because people now have to actually care how much money they are spending, and can't just generate whatever money they need out of nowhere.

15 million cruor wasn't 150 million gil. It was a bit less than 39 million. 1500 plates was about 59 million cruor.

I think one of the problems in this thread is that the concept of money isn't really a very intuitive thing. It is rather a bit abstract, but that does not mean that it is very hard to wrap your mind around it. It does however require that you think about it a bit differently, and engage in some thoughts experiments, and perhaps think about real world examples and events.

What you need to do is to ask yourselves questions like these:

What is money, really?
Why does money work?

I am not saying this to ridicule people (not this time, anyway!). It isn't knowledge that we are born with, and many do not think about this because they never really have to. However, to understand why these changes were made to the game, you need to have at least some understanding of how an economic system actually works.

You do not need to have a formal education in the subject either. That might have been the case if you were to analyze real world economics, because the economies of the real world are extremely much more complex than the pretty small and simplistic economies within FF11. Because of this, with a bit of effort, I am sure that most, if not everyone in this thread would be able to understand it, if they just stopped spending their mental resources on negative thoughts about how they can't make money as easily anymore.

If I come off as condescending, I am sorry. That is not my intention. I just really hope that if people spent some time trying to understand what has happened and why it has happened, it would make them feel better about the change. I am completely serious right now.

I hope they change things back but chances are they won't I wounder how things are on the jp side

[Mirage]

If they do change it back, I'm going to invest all my gil into something that isn't gil.

If they do change it back, I'm going to invest all my gil into something that isn't gil.

You're going to invest in gold?

You're going to invest in gold?

Dyna currency probably. New currency can only be generated within limits (unlike blinker gilfountain), and it has some epic size drains to remove it from the economy. It's also well known and traded frequently.

SE would also have to implement a barter trade system to make it easier to buy and sell goods using DC (Dynamis Currency).

It's a secret.

Cruor led to hyperinflation due to NEW gil being pumped in faster than it could be pumped out(Legion/Limbus/Einherjar hardly delete much gil compared to the crapton of gil being pumped in every hour from NPC sales. Dynamis Currency selling doesn't create or destroy any gil since it's being traded between players. Blinkers>NPC generates NEW gil.
