Atomos = Inflation...

While it's about time they nerfed the gil gain from Atomos what are they going to do about the people who abused the crap out of it for the last week? Everything on Balmung has SKYROCKETED in price. Items that were 200k before this event are 4~5mil now. 25m items are 50m. Basically unless you /did/ exploit this, you are left in the dust which is wrong because those of us who DO NOT exploit are getting punished in the economy

As someone who was left in the dust by this, that's pretty much how things work in life :/

Yep. I was busy leveling and missed the start. Now it is so hard to do that it is not fun.

SE likes to reward people for chance, while like in life being at the right place at the right time can be extremely benificial - in a video game this law doesnt have to be true.

And in fact shouldnt be, things can be based off skill (and obviously partially time) - basing them off of just luck and in specific extension a lack of or an extreme case of time is lame though.

People who have fought Ifirit 10 times and got all the weapons can gtfo lol.

It'll come back down as people spend the gil they made.

That money's just transferring hands though, not going into the void. Prices will maintain because the same amount of gil will remain in the economy. The only reason prices will plummet on items will be due to oversupply.

Prices did skyrocket cause nobody farmed/crafted anymore cause of Atomos, after thix hotfix ppl will go back to usual duty and gonna sell stuff in the wards again. As soon there are enough ppl selling stuff prices will go down again...

What is this talk of an exploit??? It wasnt an Exploit, it wasnt a BUG, it wasnt a glitch. SE KNEW you could npc things bought with seals. SE KNEW you use the crystals earned from atomos to make seals, that ppl could npc if they wanted. If you decided not to NPC extra seals then that was your choice. Dont pretend youre better, or more moral then anyone else. It took them a WEEK to fix this. If it was such a huuuge deal they woulda fixed it when they did the 1st emergency maintenance. Asking for them to run back and take away any gil ppl earned is ridiculous. They clearly knew it woudl generate gil, they most likely didnt think the players would be so dedicated to it. The Ui makes it an absolute chore to do it. They probably woulndt have cared, until these threads kept popping up.

And i dont know what servers everyone is on. But Prices on Masamune stayed the same. Things in the Ward that were there a week ago, are still the same prices.

Yep prices, on my server seem to be the same to me no crazy hikes or anything. Maybe its just people with no gil that cant afford what they want blaming the event for the high prices that were already there.
