ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Breladine]

So they're saying gil will be reduced to 1/10th, not by 1/10th. (or as the official translation puts it, they will "become 1/10th" of what you have now). Who cares?

Ok....so....if you have $100 in the bank and you enjoy a tasty Mc Lunch costing $10 you are happy camper.

If the next day the goverment cuts all prices/taxes/cash in your bank/wages in the same way as this you have $10 and your Mc meal costs $1.

IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME.

Exactly.

Tasty... Mc Lunch?...

lol

I've yet to see the rage coming from said people, just the rich.

here you go since undoubtedly you still have the same issues reading as you did before you left last time.

Who the $@#& cares about NPC prices? I've never ever bought anything from NPC aside from lv.1 weapons. The economy is entirely in the hands of the players, and there's no way in hell they gonna slash their prices to 9/10 just like that.

Yes..how indeed, here is another one that does not get it. Brilliant observation sir. Well that's awesome...don't know if I wanna play anymore =/

Instead, what we will do is allow people to spam atomos all day long for millions of gil from vendors and thus devalue it. All the hard work put in making gil is being lost as we speak.

Yeah, screw Atomos. Hell, I don't even feel like playing anymore. It's just so pointless now.

The justification of 1/10ing everyone gil just doesn't make sense. So we've been running on the arrow system and everything has been priced realtive to arrows and since there are no arrows we need a new pricing system? What about other small gil cosumables like bait? We not having bait anymore because they're too low a price from an NPC? I don't understand why we can't just stick to what we have if it works? It's just like taking away inventory spaces, why take them away when it works? What's next are they going to cut xp to 1/10th so the xp per mob and tnls don't look so big?

quite a few of these were supporting the change just a few hours before they made the clarification and now they hate the idea so much 2 even mentions quitting lmao.

it kinda sucks that it will be a reduction for everyone but I guess it's fair (you all suck for having a shit ton more money than I do lol) My 400k is going to be reduced to 40k... ah well after ARR comes out I guess it's back to the drawing board for me to make it up

I'm not raging about anything, I'm simply asking what's the point? If it has no bearing on anything and no one should care about it, it comes to the point of why change it in the first place?

Everyone is forgetting the larger picture here: What will we call Molly Millions after 2.0 !?

Don't include me in your list of people raging, ive clearly stated that the gil change doesn't make any difference, however pumping hundreds of mil a day into the economy (atomos) devalues each gil, as you quoted me.

the thing was people liked it originally because they thought people only over 100mil would be affected. they were basically saying well screw them because they worked harder and made more than i did. now that they find out that they lose theirs also it does affect them so they are talking about quitting.

i'm one of the rich and the only complaint i had was that if they took a portion of mine they should do it across the board which they have now stated that is what's happening. since it's happening to everyone i'm fine with it. i just didn't like feeling like the people that actually took the time to make gil were being penalized. how would you have felt if you had 999,999,999 and someone else had 99,999,999 and you lost 900,000,000 and they lost nothing?

yes, i agree you were talking about atomos and not specifically about the change itself. the thing is this crap with atomos is what they should be focusing on and not the people that made gil the correct way in the wards.

but they're not going to quit. They're just going to make hasty posts without trying to even fully understand how the denomination can be beneficial to the game as a whole.

I've never vocally supported this change. Before, I thought it was purely cosmetic change, like, you won't be able to carry more than 99M at once, so the rest will have to go to retainer or bank or something. But this has turned out to be a completely different thing altogether.

Also, I don't have 100M+, not even close. Wasn't playing for that long, so even a million is a significant sum for me. Players like me are the ones who are gonna be hurt by this change the most, since we haven't had the chance yet to invest a lot of money in gear.
