ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Dubont]

Keep ignoring logic and acting like you're being stolen from. Hope it makes you feel good!

There is no logic. We're being stolen from and the price of items is not going to go down like you think it is.

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)

Funny, I've been here since launch and the economy STILL hasn't worked itself out. The only thing that has really driven down the price of items is either 1) The introduction of better items or 2) decreased demand.

This is also funny because some gear from faction leves, which are relatively useless now, are still priced higher than gear that would be better. You put too much faith in the players of this game.

You are REALLY good at ignoring logic!

THERE'S NO LOGIC! We're losing money and the only prices that are going to be forced to adjust are NPC prices. Player prices will stay the same. How do I know this? They haven't changed much since launch, why would they change now? Putting too much faith in the players will do nothing for you.

How many times have we had a redenomination since launch? Never? Oh OK. Carry on...

I just had an idea. I should sig all the stubborn ones like Dubont here so they live on in shame once prices adjust and everything works out.

You act as if this redenomination is the only thing that would drive the price on goods down. You know, here in the US, the value of a dollar went down. Did the price on goods go down? NOPE. They went up.

Yup. Good thing the value of our gil is going up with this. Hence prices will go down.

You truly are lost, aren't you?

The US didnt do a redenomination, so your example to what he said is mute...

that's called INFLATION which is different. Lets put this as an example... During the US Civil War the southern states created their own money... however due to the economy being unstable and the mass production of said money and no federal reserves (which during that time before the war the reserves back the currency now it's based on trust and not gold or silver standard anymore) to back it. It caused the prices to sky rocket it was for example $500 southern dollars to buy a loaf of bread. That is inflation what Yoshi-p is doing is reducing the amount of money that is able to be produced in rewards and what we can hold. Which doesn't mean the value of the gil lessens it actually increases said value because it's a rare commodity. AKA why do you think that the world isn't flooded by gold and diamonds because it can be with all the diamond mines in Africa. People are controlling the diamond and gold market as to keep the value high.
