That's the problem. That's what I have been waiting out this horrible thread to try bring out again. If the price of an item sells for 1000 Tanaka gil ends up settling at just 200 Yoshi gil in ARR that's a 100% markup...

How much of an impact this denomination has on the new economy will largely depend on demand and supply and not the availability of gil. The only governing power to depress prices will be NPC shops, and NPC shops don't sell HQ items. And NPCs will not sell everything in the game.

How many of you know exactly how much everything costs in the game markets right now? How can you guarantee that you won't accidentally buy something at too high of a Yoshi gil price? I'm having a bit of an experiment. Before the servers go down, I'm going to record the prices of certain items in the Market Wards. Immediately, after ARR launches I'll record prices again and then again some months after, to see how prices settle.

It will be uneven, not a straight across the board 10%. I believe that the redenomination will cost us more in the long run. It's just a question of how much?
