ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Enyyx]

As someone who makes very efficient use of my gil (ie, I spend it as fast as I make it) I kind of find this funny, tbh. Imho, It's so easy to make gil in this game, there is absolutely no reason to horde that much gil.

So basically what you're saying is you live paycheck to paycheck instead of investing your money and letting it work for you.

Yea, that sounds really efficient.

When it's so damn easy to make, I don't worry about it. Gear on the other hand? I stockpile that.

I was just thinking about how the economy will work. You realize this is just going to make rich players even more wealthy. The majority will keep their fortune, but the prices of everything will drop. Its like converting a dollar to a euro with no penalty. Thank you SE.

Let me know when SE adds VC firms, a stock market, or when your gil wallet accrues interest. Until then, the only investment you can make is exactly what Molly_Millions is doing: spending it on items.

You can't just parrot something you heard on Fox Business and expect it to apply here.

Definitely. Don't get me wrong. I constantly work my ass off to make gil, it's just that there is no reason for me to save it when there is so much cool stuff to spend it on. After all, what good does it do you to not spend your gil? It's not accruing interest. The cost of items however, does rise and fall like the stock market. In the rare times that I do find myself with multiple millions, I spend it on items that are priced too low in my eyes and resell them at a profit. Your gil can't make more gil while it's just sitting in your inventory.

The stock market is all about buying low and selling high. I had no idea we couldn't do that here D:

OMG guys brb! Need to talk to chuck :P

so the most cost effective thing to do is reduce your gil to <10,000 and stockpile gear you can then resell once ARR comes out. you lose no gil, but have invested it all.

I guess my plan is to get a stockpile of armors (which may become useless) and see how the materia systems is adjusted and remeld stuff based on what is now considered "optimal"

100mil isn't a lot of money in this game and there will be thousands of pissed off players when including people who have quit and are waiting for V2.

It'll be a lot of money in ARR once they cap you.

You do realise that we will only have one retainer in V2 right?

Do you have a source for this? I don't remember them saying we're losing a retainer, only that their max inventory will shrink.

Pretty risky considering certain things may drop in value due to less money being in circulation, and we don't know how less effective materia will become.

100 million gil is quite a lot of money. I don't see any reason to go on some mass spending spree to hoard it all, unless you just have so much more over the new cap.

But if you happen to be over the cap, then aside from putting some on a retainer, spending the rest on items is really the only thing you can do to ensure you don't just lose it.
