All Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Sep. 20)

makes no difference whether or not they are getting gil or not they are still going to get hit by a 90% reduction of that said gil so let them think that they are actually making money when they are not why do you care so much ?

I really don't think you understand how that reduction is going to work. If everything is getting reduced by 9/10ths, and everything is - vendor price, rewards, leve gil, item cost, current gil in game - then it still has the exact same value. It's only scaled down by one digit. The only unknown factor is the user market, and while people may be trying to sell everything at 1.0 prices at first eventually undercutting and market competition will balance it out.

So, to answer your question, I care because it's broken and I don't want the in-game economy to become any more of a mess than it already is.

Edit: Okay, seriously? From that link you decided to edit into your post.

In other words, all the hard work you've put into saving up gil won't be lost.

the only mess of the econ is in 1.0 and that is mainly due to them releasing the information that they are going to reduce everyones gil by 90% come 2.0 which created a mass panic and so people are either buying up everything they possibly can or trying to sell off and save as much as they can before 2.0 gets released so this was SE's announcement that caused the econ to go nuts and not a thing you or anyone here can do to stop the effects of this atm so might as well just ride the wave like everyone else hang on tight and see how it turns out come 2.0....

actually this is just completely wrong in many ways.

1. the economy has driven up prices due to this event.

2. the price hike will carry over til 2.0 because that is the starting point.

3. this has been treated like a stimulus package by many, but the truth about a stimulus is that they are short term economy boosts with long term negative side effects.

4. people have alot more gil then they should have because they were using the printing press to magically make more gil go into the game than was going out. this is long term inflation no matter how you look at it.

That's some pretty impressive clairvoyance you have there.

Wonder what game you've been playing for the last two years. Because it sure as hell isn't the same one as me.

If you want to take advantage of the massive gil generation from Atomos then just admit it, but don't try and come up with a flimsy justification for it. You people act like it's comparable to someone catching you with porn or something.

So now you're implying I'm a lone wolf and a bad player, huh? That's cute.

It's clear that you're just throwing out random statements and hoping some will stick rather than trying to actually argue your point, so I think I'm done. Have a nice day.

tbh, who here thought that the maint. was for anything but a fix for this exploit?

I didn't even need to see an official post to know what it was about.

Yeah, same here. I laughed when I saw the notice for it and was like "well, Atomos is gonna be pretty empty now".
