But Big Mac is not same value in X country as in Y Country and thus you can lose money from your conversion (Or even gain).

The same rules apply to what will happen in the transfer if we look at in your perspective.

When we are reduced from Now to ARR to 1/10th of our value, we will loose gil based on the general reduction, there is no argument against that. If the general pricing of items on the Wards do not ALSO go down to 1/10th (Which is nothing you can say for certainty) then you have lost out on the remainder.

Things don't convert in real world just like things won't convert in game because of the principle of prices being controlled by people.

A item at X value will not be sold at 1/10th of its value right away or maybe even ever because it just takes the stabilisation to occur before its set.

People are relying too much on very odd theories, such as "People wont buy because they wont have the gil so the price will reduce", there are plenty of useless items up now that don't sell and never reduce, sticking to the millions. (Faction gear for example).

And what do people do when they fear they don't have money? They sell, compete and inflate. Creating a reduced stabilization on those items.

You all need to stop kidding yourself that everything is being pushed down as a whole equality and realise you ARE being rid of Gil, the amount is up for probability on economy rates (so thats up to you, and everyone else). And also realise that this is a good thing, there is way too much money in the economy now.



He brought up the real world example, I debated that example. Dont attack me when the argument was about real world situations.

It also absolutely irrelevant whether its real world or not.

If you are on Server A and go to Server B
Server A could sell item X at 10m, you transfer to Server B that sells it for 1m, you can now buy 10 of those items. It is identical situation and people exploited this during server transfers in FFXI.

To then imply that rule to this situation, You are going from Server B(1.0) to Server A(2.0) of which your 1m which could buy you Item X can only buy you 1/10th of Item X. Your gil has lost value.

To replicate it identical, the Item X will be "Up for new pricing" during the Transfer from B to A and you may be only to get 1/5th of Item X if Item X reduces by 50% in ARR, even so, you have lost 40% of you moneys value.

Understand the logic before getting defensive with comments that make no sense to the argument.
I have not post my thoughts on this but this sums up about what i feel about this, it's the reason i bought a Vanya robe today for my ACN for 2.0. Right now i know for a fact the robe wont go down from 2.2 mil to 220k in 2.0 its gonna be something like 500k. I Sell Ele ores as a main source of income and i am 100% sure they wont be selling for 330 gil either but more like 1k gil in 2.0
