Changes to Existing Items and the Monetary System in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Rebor

[Req]

So they aren't lowering the gil cap but they are still reducing everything to 1/10th? Wasnt the entire justification for decreasing all of our gil because they were lowering the money cap? It seems less and less likely to me atleast that the economy will stabilize at 1/10th because of this.

They are using the justification that because NPC prices will be reduced to 1/10 we only need 1/10 of our current bank to survive as before. SE is using this to justify a partial Gil wipe. This justification would be valid if the game was based upon an NPC economy that SE can control. It is not! The game will still be a free market economy controlled mostly by the players. Supply and Demand will still rule and exorbitant pricing will still exist. Only problem is rewards will be reduced to 1/10 forcing many players to spend a vast majority of their time farming or crafting to survive instead of enjoying all the new content. Sorry but to me this was just window dressing to justify a partial Gil Wipe.
