[KaplanHomahru]

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 ad gust and everything works out.

Explain, troll.

If everyone's gil is cut by a multiple of 1/10 and all rewards from npcs, quests, and monsters is also cut by 1/10. There will be a permanent change to gil inflow. Prices will have NO CHOICE but to drop because no one will pay the original prices when they have less money (in number to number comparison less, but by % it has the same value). Only idiots would buy at the 1.0 price. People will price the new market according to the gil in circulation.

Basically SE has made every single gil number in the whole game drop 1 digit.

Not gonna do that again lol. Read the thread. Though at this point I'm convinced our efforts would be wasted on you.

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...

You know, after reading this thread all I can think back on is the overwhelming vote in the yes column to "Will you support radical changes to the game world?"

Thank you. Just, ..thank you.

I have faith that only a handful of math retards will price at 1.0, and they will lose all their money waiting for a fish that doesnt exist to bite.

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.
