The value of gil is worth 10x less due to inflation

[Bloodb]

There's a player who played everyday from 2.0 to heavensward and had about 75,000,000 at the start of 3.0

At the start of Stormblood that player had about 960,000,000. Taking a few breaks to play some diablo3 and hearthstone during heavensward era.

5 years from now will it be common for everyone just finishing the MSQ to have hundreds of millions or even a billion gil?
How over time Gil gets easier to get nullifying the progress and catching up everyone in general.



Can this trend be expected to continue? How each major patch is a (hurry and catch up those behind in progress) type deal.

2 months old. I did a forum search instead of starting my own thread. For something I've always wanted to ask.

Not really. The OP was proposing jacking up housing prices using inflation as justification to limit housing competition for wealthy players.

You were asking if inflation is going to continue and fretting about it being excessive as well as asking if every major patch their will be catch up mechanics.

To answer your questions, yes inflation will continue, no it probably wont make us all billionaires in 5 years. Yes catch-up mechanics will continue, they don't want new players to stay too far behind to catch up to old players.
