ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[NoctisUmbra]

Wow dude, way to argue with Punainen that this wouldnt happen, and then turn around and say it would.

Are you really that dense or do you not understand how even by selling for less you make a solid profit. I wasn't even suggesting people should or would try to cheat Gil out of players but providing an example of how sellers wouldn't be losing Gil by lowering their prices to 100k

This is what you were arguing against sir:

Its slightly more complicated than that. As that makes it so anything that used to cost, say... 100 gil, if still listed at 100 gil, is a 90% increase in price. The problem lies in the fact that, those used to the current pricing will NOT begin charging 90% less for all their items. An item that sells in the MW for 10k, is NOT going to drop to 1k. It will remain at 10k. So beyond NPC values (which hold extremely little control over the economy), all they're really doing is making everyone poorer.

This is what you said after the fact:

Oh, this just came to mind so I apologize in advance for the double post, but consider the following little brain-teaser:

If you buy something for 500k on the market on November 1st before the Final Save maintenance for the current version and manage to sell this very same item for only 100k in ARR, you will have made a 50% ROI (Return on Investment).

See the similarity? I rest my case.

Uhm... if you mean the bit about making an obnoxious profit if you don't change the price... no shit. That's why I elaborated in my posts as to how people would not buy things priced with their old values once they have 90% less gil in their pockets. Thus people selling would be forced to drop prices. All it takes is for 1 person to start lowering prices significantly and then the now overly fluffed market prices will dwindle way down.

Is it really that difficult to see? Oh, well. Maybe some of you will finally get it once it happens.
