People are buying items are 3-4 times their original worth now, with inflation going up now. Nothing balanced out, people earned more money as a whole and things went up.

So when we go into ARR with 10% of our currency and then an item begins to drop over 1-2 months to 1/10th, guess what? PEOPLE HAVE EARNED MONEY IN THAT TIME. Why are people so blind to see this?

If someone thinks an item is worth 3-4 times its value now, why will they not think the same in 2.0?

And if someone finds an easy way of making money, then it wont matter how much you cut down because eventually people will begin to get to where they was.

If you reduce everyone by 90% so they stuck with 10% of their current gil, but in 1 month they already triple that and back to 30% but the rate of which an item did not reduce to 1/10th IMMEDIATELY then it will only go to 1/3rd because the general wealth was increased to 30% over the time it balanced out, thus you have DIRECTLY LOST 20% of your gil, outright because the value of items DID NOT decrease to 1/10th immediately.

And you cant argue "Well SE said it will be harder to gain gil", come on thats SE talking, they failed on so many "unforeseen" areas such as PLing, Garuda BLM, Atomos that they have VERY LIKELY unforeseen gil loopholes in 2.0 and trust me, someone will find them.

You are all going to be losing money, you cannot deny that at all in any slightest because the whole economy will never go to 1/10th on day And Because people will not stop earning gil from day 1, an item will balance out at much higher rate.

Ya'll in denial thinking everythings going to smoothly go down as a whole, ya'll should be happy the amount of gil is being taken out the economy because we have way to much.

The only thing that people should take solace in is the fact that everyone is in the same boat, everyone is going to loose significant amount of their gil, but its for the greater good and all that.
Economics 101. There is actually going to be gil sinks at the launch of 2.0. More gil sinks than silly armor repair. Gil sinks that take millions of Gil out of the game instead of how it currently is just passing it player to player. Though that is still going to happen, and inflation is going to be rough at the start because people are going to try to sell things at current prices, I don't think it will work out too well because others who want to sell their crap will start undercutting and prices will drive down in short order. No Gil sinks = Money floating around. Though I won't get too far ahead of myself and say let's wait and see how things go.
