ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Wynn]

I still find it hard to imagine a stack of 99 Iron ore selling for 50gil.
I really think it's bound to settle in closer to 100gil.
... but last i checked a month ago it was 500gil.

I think you have your numbers mixed up. I can guarantee you that on no server is there an entire stack of iron ore selling on the ward for today's price of 500gil. Each individual piece of ore selling for 500? Yeah that sounds more accurate and that is the current price on my server.

A stack of iron ore would cost 49,500 gil. In ARR, the approximate value of that same stack of ore would be 4,950 gil, 50 gil per individual chunk.

In theory...

Are you even reading what he posts? He never said ANYTHING about the price of items being 1/10th as they are, but merely that based on the CHANGING ECONOMY and DIFFERENT SUPPLY AND DEMANDS of OLD AND NEW ITEMS IN THE GAME, prices will fluctuate but will settle out lower than what they are now. We don't know HOW the game's influx of materials, gear and necessities will be changed in ARR, but that knowledge of changes between rates, introduction of new items and removal of old items is enough to warrant a substantial reshuffle of prices amongst things. Some materials may end up being 5% of the price they were originally in 1.0, while others may decrease only 50%. In this, new players will be ON LEVEL GROUND with old players, as even the old players can use crystal balls to view which materials will be more likely to earn them wealth at the beginning of the game.

Hmmm, you should go reread the first 90 pages wherin noctis avidly supports the idea that prices will settle at 1/10th. I'm not going to go over this with some raging troll.

And in case you may have not noticed...there's not that many for sale not merely because of human greed of lack of crafters, BUT LACK OF DEMAND. I'm going to sound hypocritical, but if everyone wasn't high-levelled in all disciplines, there would be more demand for lower-levelled gear. Actually, I'm no hypocritical at all, as I still require low-level gear for my crafter and gathering disciplines. I also give what I take - once I'm done with a piece, I don't usually NPC or chuck it, I sell it back at market wards. I even make some hempen and cotton gear and put them up periodically, and they take a few days, but they sell. So may I suggest you make your own, make a few more, then let them enter the market system to circle around, as brief a lifespan as they may be.

Wrong again my friend, there is plenty of demand for low lvl crafting tools on my server. They sell on a daily basis so I'm just going to stop right there and assume the rest of what you say is based on an imaginary world.

Lol. Yea. That's what redenominating was supposed to do.

Last i checked Yoshi P's official reason for redenomination has something to do with removing arrows from archers. LOL. Can we just let this horse die?

actually he wasn't talking about the market wards dropping to 1/10th he's made mention of npc prices dropping to 1/10 but no one mentioned market wards. We all understand that that is controlled by we the players and not by the game itself. We do know how ever that it would take an idiot to still purchase at pre ARR pricing since we can't hold as much gil and so people will undercut as they've always done to make the quickest sale. That's how it's going to be and that's the way it's always been no matter what game you've played.

Yes, Yoshi mentioned the reason why he's dropping price was because of the arrows but like I've said before. I think that's just an excuse he's given and not the full truth. We've all seen SE say things and do another or things happen and get pushed back, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was just a partial truth and he wasn't saying everything *shrugs*. This "dead horse" keeps getting beaten because new people come in and have a knee jerk reaction to the taking away of a number in their gil even when it's being done to everyone including the poor in this game. So if you want the dead horse to stop being beaten then tell the people who need to be told constantly that in all technically they're not losing money they're gaining value in what money they had instead of vise versa.

I doubt for the wards that the market prices will go down to 1/10 but they will drop because no one will buy anything at old prices if one can even remember old prices at that time when the game comes back up.
