Game Economy and the gil redenomination

[Mijin]

But how do you think gil came to be in the first place? The game had 0 gil in its economy upon release, Guildleves and vendoring items is how the gil came to be. Player selling a player an item doesnt create gil in the system, all that other stuff you say doesnt matter does.

It mattered in the first week of the game, but not now because players have money already. Even new players will make the majority of their profits by selling items on the market wards. Those things only matter when everyone on the server is at 0 gil.

First, I didn't call you stupid.

Sorry for them misunderstanding then.

But in actuality everyone will be moving in to the new economy with the same relative wealth they will have leaving this economy. That is fact, regardless of how the economy will change, everyone will have the same relative wealth. And those changes are far more dependent on everything else that will change in 2.0 than they are on how much money everyone has.

Everyone who already plays the game will be moving into the new economy with the same scaled down wealth with 1/10th of what they have now, but it's important to consider new players will be starting out with 0, and I'm sure there will be a lot of new players. As such, the real impact of this scale down will be seen when we know how fast new players are able to obtain gil. If the prices of items on the market wards stays relatively high they will be able to catch up to us quickly, and that will be what really devalues our current savings.

The point I'm trying to make is that unless the items on the market ward are listed for prices directly proportionate to 1/10th (or less) of what they are now - we lose.

I don't really care about this that much, and I don't think it's the end of the world. It was probably necessary to complement the impending influx of new players, and there was really no way to avoid it. But it just bothers me to see so many people being naive about the subject.
