ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[NoctisUmbra]

They did not learn their lesson from the negative perception of Fatigue versus the positive perception of Rested bonus XP (almost the same result in the end, but really different perception).

They could have just increased every NPC and other gil-related features by 10x instead of cutting 90% of the players' gil and no one would have complained.

I would have lol.

Make the numbers more inflated so the cheapest thing in game costs 100+ gil? No thanks.

The comparison of fatigue and rested bonus is that of negative and positive reinforcement.

Redenomination is neither of those things as it isn't reinforcing anything. It's simply a basic algebraic formula being applied across a large scale currency.

So, in the case of redenomination, sure people will perceive it as they like and be all upset but it will be temporary, until the market settles and people move on. In the case of fatigue, people would never settle as they constantly get negatively reinforced to play less.

You realize income is interdependant of prices, so everything would have been the same anyway ?

Well.. yes I've been arguing that very point. It would be the same technically, yes. However it'd be annoying as hell to deal with larger and larger numbers for no reason. This is why they're dropping a digit instead of adding one in the first place..

Thats not entirely true, but certain items are less effected by inflation then others (mostly those high in supply). However new items specially those unsure of how rare they are would get insane inflated prices.

Not all real world rules cross over into the game world smoothly, but yes generally income does effect pricing of items particularly luxury items.
