ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Claustrum]

If everything would remain the same in 2.0 with just everything gil rewards/npc values/players banks all divided by 10.
Then why change it?
You don't say "Oh everything will remain the same just /10" for no reason, they are changing it for a reason.
To remove gil from the economy.

I'll lose alot of gil but that doesn't bother me.
The new introduction of 2.0 new players is the future of this game.
I wouldn't want any of them to be put off by the difference in wealth between them and older players.

The difference in wealth will be the same. You can think of money as distance. Your income is speed. If you have travelled 100 miles from the start location, you're 100 miles away from anyone who is just now starting. That doesn't change if some guy comes in and says "no, we're changing the units of measure. You're actually just 10 malms away from the start."

So now the new guys are only 10 malms from your current location. But it will take them every bit as long to catch up to you. It matters nothing that 10 is a a smaller number than 100. The distance is not changed. Only the number attached to it.
