ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[NoctisUmbra]

More sensible and less inflated numbers make me happy.

Thank you SE for the redenomination. I am most pleased.

Wow ^^ It took me month to get up to my current 5 Million. Seems that I will only have 500k in 2.0...... Well.... could be worse... It could be raining......

Never had more than 500k in FFXI..... will feel like taken back in time.

Did they not say that those who are on the relic quest will keep their progression? The only way for them to make it so we truly keep our progress is if they do not change the quest. I don't really see how they could change it and still say we have kept the same progress unless the new quest just takes the same number of steps to get to the end.

Ah... the double meld is step 1, when you accept the quest... there is no progress.

On the plus side, almost all of the gil the supposed RMTs farming Cedarwood are accumulating will be gone. This is the best thing SE can do since they can't outright ban them.

Not really..

If RMT are selling 10 mil for 10 bucks (random example) they will just start selling 1 mil for 10 bucks. They don't really lose anything...

There are still people who don't understand that nobody loses anything?

There's nothing to even discuss on this topic anymore except perhaps the emotional aspect.

I expect that for psychological reasons this is going to loosen up a lot of money that's been hoarded so far. It's hard to swallow 30mil for an M2 (sticker shock), but 3mil sounds a lot more reasonable even if you have 10 times less gil and make gil 10 times slower.

How are we not losing anything exactly? Just because the game is lowering prices does not mean players are forced to as well. This is just a nice way of saying we are deleting billions of gil.

I'm currently in Turkey visiting family as I so often do. Turkey had a major redenomination take place less than a decade ago. I lived through it. Experienced it as our basic equivalent of a dollar went from being 1 million Turkish Liras to 1 Turkish Lira. They dropped 6 digits.

If you only go there to visit, redenomination in turkey didn't have much impact on you. Ask your family how they feel about the redenomination in turkey.

Don't flatter yourself.

I can't help that it was confirmed right after I said that lol.

I wasn't flattering myself, just pointing your oddities. Yes, I called your behavior troll-esque. If you can't accept that contradicting yourself every 2 posts makes it look like you're trolling, I'm sorry for you.

let's get back on topic.

Raagnar,

Let's say you had 7 mil and need some smoked Raptor. Currently smoked Raptor is around 100-120k a stack. No biggie for a millionaire.

Cut to ARR... you have 700k... someone is selling smoked Raptor for the same price... are you going to buy it? Or are you going to make your own?

As the item stays on the market without selling... more and more people will come along as start undercutting. The price will fall until people start buying again.

10k-12k a stack.

There has been an economic problem since game launch at Atomos is only making it worse. I'm not sure this change will be enough to really fix the economy. So much of the economic problem in this game remains hidden because of incredibly low item demand.
