ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[KaplanHomahru]

Making the rich richer and the poor...well...completely broke. Thanks SE! Nice looking out!

Mmmhmm mmmhhhm. Now that you've just read the announcement, let it sink in.

Good? Yeah, now you realize that nothing is being lost, just translated into less digits. Feel silly now, don't you? Hahaha, don't worry, happens to us all.

Oh no, plenty is being lost. Going from 2mil to 200k? Items are going to stay in the mils for a long time and now, thanks to the BRILLIANCE of SE, I'm a lot further from buying any of them. There is NO REASON to cut everyone's gil. NONE, ZIP, NADA.

I see, so it hasn't sunk in yet.

There's nothing to sink in. Ward prices will be the same for a while. I'll be at much much less gil than I have now while the people who have over 100mil will still be able to afford just about anything. Yeah...so, instead of being a giant troll, how about you let it sink in that anyone under 100mil is getting the shaft and it's SE's fault.

Who is going to have over 100m? Nobody, max is 99. Who is going to be able to afford things at 1.0 prices? Nobody, because we're all having our gil reduced. Who is going to undercut to the new POST-CHANGE VALUE of items? Lots of people, which will even things out. But whatever, have fun thinking the gil redenonimation matters at all (aside from some inevitable early inflation).

Have you ever seen The Incredibles? It's a great movie, with an awesome quote ..something along the lines of "Saying everyone is special is just another way of saying nobody is". .. Well in this case its "Everyone is losing something, so nobody is".

Wow, you really are dumb. Ok, let me spell this out for you, Mr. Dumb Troll. You have 100 mil now. You don't spend it. At 2.0, you will have 10mil. Most prices will be around 10mil. Now, I have 2mil. At 2.0, I will have 200k. This is going to hurt ME a lot more than it's going to hurt YOU because you will still be able to afford anything, while I'll be pretty broke. Again, thanks for looking out, SE.

I'm sorry but you are the dumb one if you think prices are going to stay that high after the change. There may be some inflation, but nothing like that.

Edit; And they ARE looking out, thank you. This easily could have been a complete gil wipe situation, which would be a completely different story. There is nothing unfair or that hard to understand about what they are doing.

[TocAmmanas]

Most prices will be around 10mil. .

Wait...what?

Who is going to be buying this 10 mil gil item of which you speak. No one. The market will correct itself. An item is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. And no one is paying 10 mil for an item in the new economy. (unless its extremely rare/sought after...think 4 meld, +120 atk gloves)

True those with less gil will wind up with same gil at a lower rate and those with more gil will wind up with same aount just at a lower rate but heres the thing an item that sells in the wards now for 2mil will only be worth 200k as well there is no way anyone would be able to buy anything otherwise because there are definately not that many people who do have 100mil plus gil its not just you and me its everything gear, mats, npc sale and buy prices leve rewards everything across the board is getting hit with this the items that sell now for 10 mil will be knocked down to 1 mil simply because no one will buy it otherwise and tehy will sit up there and not sell until far far down the road after 2.0 has been out for least few months

Pro-tip: sell stuff to the guy with over 100mil that will still be able to afford just about anything.
