2am... how many posts has it been so far? I'm tired. Exhausted, really, as I've just realized that despite what I believe was a very clear explanation, you continue to miss the point. Your counters to my points actually demonstrate how far you are from getting it... and the fact that I can understand your points clearly yet repeatedly fail at helping you to see the fallacies in them has inevitably led to my giving up.

The one thing I regret is that the way in which you are lost is such that I can't effectively add it to my sig and say I told you so when ARR rolls around because you're not incorrectly predicting the future so much as you are misinterpreting it.

You can believe that we're losing wealth if you'd like. Whatever. You can also believe that this post is a surrender and that you've 'won' if you'd like. I honestly don't care anymore lol.

I figured it was a good opportunity to hopefully enlighten more silent, lurking forum goers after I was inspired by Ferth's sig to better express what I already understood.

There's still one thing I will say before I leave, and that is that you, PV, still have not actually addressed the point Ferth has repeatedly made: that every single argument you've made towards how prices will change in ARR are things that have happened, are happening, will continue to happen, and would still continue to happen if our gil remained at its current denomination. Nothing you have said is an argument against redenomination.
