ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Payadopa]

Who the $@#& cares about NPC prices?

I do. And buying a, say, level 10 sword for a few thousand Gil is just weird. I always felt like the last digit should be removed for prices to make more sense. I am happy that Yoshi seems to feel the same way.

You're just having a Stockholm syndrome. Nothing can justify screwing honest players over.

Except ... relatively ......... it will all be exactly the same.

if its all the same then why are they doing it? dont be such a dupe, its a gil wipe.

Except everyone will still maintain their relative wealth to everything else. If you stop and take a moment to think about it, it's reducing the total amount of gil in the game by 90% but leaving everyone in the same exact financial position they were before 2.0.

No one is being duped, though some people seem to just be incapable of grasping what is actually happening.

^ What he said. lol You can't argue about math.

But then again, this forum argued about whether harps have four strings or not. *shudders*

This is not math. This is economics. There has to be meaning behind the numbers. If you high schoolers had half a brain, then maybe our economy irl wouldn't be so bad.

That's not what Stockholm syndrome is.

They don't understand basic math, you want them to understand Stockholm syndrome?

considering what we endured for the past two years, yes it could be called to some extend a variant of the Stockholm syndrome. More like the FFXIV Fan syndrome.

I'm sure there are some thoughts about selling items before they become 1/10th what they are currently, but as I wrote in #1, 3, and 4 above, the NPC item purchase prices and items that are useful in battle will change to go along with the balance changes in A Realm Reborn.

When I read this I can't stop thinking that they will only adjust - balance - upward rather than further down, and it does make it look more and more like a disguised gil-wipe than anything else to me. Only time will tell I guess.
