Last thing the world needs is to increase a player's financial burden in a videogame.

Cool. Would you mind posting a screenshot of your retainer's sale history?

Nice try, but no. I'm not even getting onto a silly argument like that. I'm being genuine and honest, if you don't believe me, cool. Have a nice day.

You are more than welcome to browse on Universalis and research the sales history of any item, on any server. 120k was actually reasonably reserved, some items were closer to 200k only weeks ago, and it was quite common to sell for up to 150k for accessories.

Right. I thought as much.

Lol, I'm not messing about to provide screenshots of data that's already out of date (and probably now unavailable) just to prove you wrong on something that almost everyone else of the forum knows you're wrong about. I gave you the best resource available (Universalis) so you can go and research everything yourself.

Treat yourself to some in-game education and learn about the economy you seem to have such a problem with.

You're the one that made the claim. You're the one that supplies the evidence.

No, because we aren't having a debate. I tried to point you in the right direction as you clearly have no clue about the economy in this game. You don't want it, cool. Have a nice day.

I purchased some exarchic gear today for various jobs. Prices had definitely fallen for some. But some were still very expensive. And low level gear is now comparatively very expensive too, given that a few weeks ago it was selling for 100 gil or so. It's now ten times as much, presumably people cashing in on all the new players. But basic materials, which are how I gauge inflation, is holding up still, price wise. Silver ore and silver ingots are still selling for several hundreds (ore) and thousands (ingots)

I don't craft gear, I mostly craft materials, gathering the ingredients myself. I can easily make 3 mil or more a week. And my savings increase even when I'm not trying, just through me playing the game. My teleport costs don't have any noticeable effect. A small increase to help keep inflation under control is fine. And applying hyperbole like wage-slavery to a situation in a game is pretty outrageous. You're not going to see your children starve just because you blew 1500 gil on a teleport...
