    They just don't want people to buy all the new 2.0 stuff like furnishings for the mog house, etc, on the first day

    Actually my guess is that this change is more directed to the new players. when they are trying to save up for new gear they will be far less intimidated if an item costs 2500 than if it costs 25000.

    The thing that is mostly likely to occur with redenomination is the lowest tier of items is going to actually go up in price on the player driven market, which theoretically should reduce the amount of items people sell to vendors and increase the reliance on other players to make an income.

    With more people relying on other people for money it will drop off the amount of inflation we should experience and it would allow the player driven economy to be much more stable. Which should potentially allow newer players to want to access it sooner.

    Sorry but your guess is wrong inflation will still occur and If you think that people with a large bank are the people making low level gear to make gil, you're living in a world full of Teletubbies.. to fix the price of an item, one thing that has worked in the past is to add a NPC selling these items for a reasonable price... it will also help new players make gil by buying from the NPC for cheap and resell them on the will-be-in-v2.0 AH with an extra to other new players.

    Also since seems like there's a bunch of people without much gil who seem happy and tell those with large banks to basically SFTU it's good for your face. One thing these people don't seem to understand is that those with the large bank are the people running the economy, not the people with little gil who put junk items at a high price... And they're the people who will buy the overpriced junk items/mats new players will sell at the AH, not the other legacy players with little gil who overprice mats/junk items.

    Nothing you said pertains to anything I have said. I never said people with a lot of money were the people making low level gear, I never said inflation wouldn't occur and basically it sounds like everything you've said puts you in the standpoint I'm at. I was just making a guess as to why they'd do this, and that guess was that they'd probably want the in game economy to be in a more standardized place for newer players.

    I'm tired and I misread, and I answered more the junk some people wrote than your post, my bad. removing the quote since he doesn't reply to your post specifically. But then re reading what you wrote, if it's hard to make gil to buy an item that's 25000, it will be even harder to make gil if everything sells for much less. Even if the item you want is 10x less expensive. They're just shooting themselves in the foot if they reduce everyone's gil by x10.

    The change will largely be a psychological one. Which is why the whole notion is rather silly. Which is why we really need better than the information we have.
