Jesus... there was no exploit.
If the gil were an exploit, the seals and anima would have been an exploit too.
And how many of u were getting a sh*tload of exp in the PL grind parties back then?

now see this type of thing i would agree with.
i just am against any idea that will punish the people not doing it while taking care of the guilty ones. that's why i stated i think at this point they left it in game too long to be able to take care of the printing press gil without also punishing the ones that didn't. i was just against the op because they were acting like everyone over a certain amount meant they were automatically involved. i know of people that were capped months ago which is long before the event was put in.
Why do you think they didnt patch it earlier (like the clusters)?
Why do you think they didnt lowered the NPC sell price of that stuff before adding the event?
What of "The development team has been observing the data for how much gil is being dished out (including the gil being generated when exchanging grand company seals), and it is currently higher than what was expected." dont u understand?
They did EXPECT that ppl would generate Gil that way.
If it had been an exploit, they would be surprised that ppl were able to make any gil that way.
SE If they can remove the gil that was earned through the exploit then by all means do so, but i will not support a solution that punishes everyone for the action of some. Most of us who have been playing since original alpha/beta are well over 100m and we reached that amount long before Atomos was even added. Even now there are a number of ways to make gil faster and legit then Atomos.
How about this... if SE thinks the economy should be rolled back because of Atomos/Dawn Drops... they will do it in a way that only affects those players who participated in the event that way.
They shouldn't put an arbitrary limit on people's gil that they may have earned any other way
