    I think this is intentional; especially on Legacy servers, the AH taxes will slowly reduce the overall gil amounts, because the outrageous
    prices on the marketboards there will ensure that the gil removed by taxes isl not naturally replenished by "normal play". There is in fact
    an equilibrum defined by repair costs, but it is definitely far below the xxx millions of gil everyone has at the moment.

    Think of it this way: the game mechanics do not intend everyone and his grandmother to become multi-billionaires. The existence of so
    many players who are is, so to speak, "unnatural". Dungeon runs easily cover your repair costs (if your group doesn't completely suck),
    and that's it. They are not supposed to make you rich; they already provide you with good free gear. If they would provide you with
    good free gear and make you rich at the same time, who would buy anything crafted?

    Btw, concerning:
    You must be very new to transferring. Since they will know there is a cap they will just invest there money into really rare materials for crafters and bring them over and sell them for the exact same price they bought or more even if it takes months they will never allow it drop below that.
    That's at least questionable I think. Suppose they buy those super-rare materials on their legacy servers. They will have to pay super vast
    amounts of money, because the average prices on legacy servers are super high (which they are, btw; I'm selling tier IV materia for hundreds
    of thousands of gil). But nobody will be able to pay those prices on the servers they transfer to; and since it is likely they are not the only ones
    who transfer, the normal mechanics of supply and demand will shatter their dreams of becoming super-rich in an instant... well... instantly.

    The market board prices will adjust to the lower overall gil amounts. Crafters cannot charge non-crafters huge sums if those,
    as a whole, do not have enough money to pay for the goods provided.

    Ah, well, perhaps I should add: I certainly would not want to be a new player on a legacy server, because it will take serious
    amounts of time to "catch up" in a market environment that is based on the assumption that a large portion of the population
    is disproportionately rich. It's a "two caste society".

    Should have realized you were a legacy player when you said

    Now I realize you didn't take the time to read anything after the original post.

    It's my fault and i'm sorry for engaging you.

    Those "Legacy players" you seem to have an issue with tend to realize that most "legacy players" don't have "xxx millions." Most of them would be happy to have a million to their name. Why I'm bothering to engage you is anyone's guess, but keep writing off players who just happened to play 1.0 for a while.
