Ok Gil question from live letter

[Jaeger]

This is a non-issue. Everything is scaled in equal porportion. the same portion of gil is applied to all. You need to look as a percentage, not as per unit. There is still the same percentage gap in 1000 vs 100 as there is in 10 vs 1. Both parties lost the same portion of the effort the put in. Both parties have the same buying power they had before.

In closing, yes, it is actually a simple math problem. You can try to spin it to look like people with more money are being hurt more, but that is not the case.

Instead of efforts being represented by points, and player A losing 900 points of effort, and player B losing 9 points of effort. Consider points equal to hours spent towards the goal of saving. Consider player A losing 900 hours of their playing time, and player B losing 9 hours of their playing time. You can debate how much of an issue it will be, but you cannot simply call it math problem nor a non-issue...

There are examples of redenomination in real economies. These are never simple math problems. Granted real economies are more complex and scaled larger, but there are enough similar characteristics in a game economy to consider them.
