This is the 2nd time in the games life stuff that was expensive is now dirt cheap. During inflation I farmed my ass off to get a Hauby which at the time was around 5mil got it eventually but after leaving the game for awhile it was only worth 400k-600k. Another case I bought Moliones's Syther and ring for around one mil again left the game for awhile and guess what was worth only around 200k and now combined they are worth maybe 40k.

My point is you can leave the game for a few months or years and the price of stuff will NEVER be the same as it was when you leave. At first yeah I was a little PO'd but got over it quickly. Also now gil really is not all that much part of the game at higher level.
