ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Mireille]

Sounds good. It's not like I really cared about gils anyway.
Good things are bought with seals, crafted (by myself) or dropped.

No complaint here.

What about the large pieces of land that require large amounts of gil to buy from an NPC? Or those expensive housing upgrades? For those of us who worked hard at making gil in 1.0, for the very reason that we would be well on our way to buying some of the great things 2.0 would bring, are being shafted and given the reasoning that arrows make up 90% of the current economy so removing arrows means 90% of our gil has to go. Oh but I haven't really lost anything because I can now buy cotton underwear from an NPC for 1/10th the price.

For those who haven't worked on saving up a nest egg this isn't a big deal, but for those of us who have we are in fact losing something.

You and everyone else. I mean think about it for one second... If we're all broke - who the fuck are they gonna sell a Darksteel Hauby+1 for 4.5-5M gil to?

The above will be slightly high even for a double melded weapon for relic.

Not everyone will be broke. PEople that are super rich now will still be able to afford things like that after the rest of use are broke. If there are enough of them in 2.0 then the Ward prices might not be as cut and dry as people are saying. I'm just going to cross my fingers. If I'd known they were going to do this though I might have done something else with my time during 1.0.

yes they can, but it will be stupid. few weeks later with 4.5 M they can afford 10 Darksteel Hauby +1

Spoiler: Your nest egg will be (relatively speaking, not literally) the same size in 2.0! Congrats!

[Payadopa]

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

^ 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*

[Tahldon]

Lol There is so much rage in this thread. I can feel it radiating out of my computer monitor.

Everything will be alright guys. You rich guys will take a cut, but us poor folk will still be as poor as we are already.

Don't think my feelings are hurt? Lol. Trust me, I'll be wearing a pouty face when I see my measly 200k turn into 20k, too.

We got through 1.0, fellas, we'll live through this... if everyone isn't consumed by rage and spontaneously combusts because of it.

[Ryshel]

How is a 90% gil cut going to help anything? Those who are at or over the new cap will STILL be HUGELY ahead of those of us who don't spend every waking minute looking for ways to make gil. I've worked my butt off farming materials and spiritbonding materia for my double-meld, not just bought one like so many people. I've struggled to keep as much as I've earned and I'm not a gil-hoarder or exploiter. My hard-earned 3mil will become 300k, and I will STILL not be able to keep up with those who will be going from 99,999,999 to 9,999,999. And those who have 9,999,999 will still set prices too high for new players and now old players alike. I just, I completely fail to understand the logic here.

We'll see.

tahl just give me all your money then your money won't be taken away and i'll be 20k richer when 2.0 comes out ^_^ it's a win win situation I promise

[Reika]

I dont see a problem here
