You predict something will happen, I also predict something will happen, this should be a fair debate. The other 2 guys though do fancy ganging up on me for some signature luls.
Except for the fact that while most of us are debating, you are downright slamming our opinions with your hyperbolical expressions! There's a difference between debating and total disregard for the other side's opinion. Maybe those two are ganging up on you; I don't care, I just think your attitude is a bit off.

As for the predictions thing...

For one, my prediction is vague and broad so as to encapsulate as much difference as possible, while you are totally narrowing down on the most hair-breadths of detail as a prediction. As a prediction, you don't want to be as specific as you are right now. Maybe you feel different, but the more specific you go into a prediction, the more likely you'll end up wrong.

Can we agree on a few facts though?

1. Our relative wealth on our characters and retainers WILL REMAIN THE SAME. This takes into account only gear and money ON your character, disregarding all else. We will have LOST gil, but our WEALTH is EQUAL.

2. As a reboot and introduction of new materials, removal of old materials, drop rates, crafting and gathering techniques, the economy will CHANGE and take awhile to adjust. During this, old items transferred over from 1.0 will have a different VALUE due to rarity, uses or vanity.

3. WE are in charge of our money. As such, WE are in charge of the markets. If items do not lower to 1/10th of the price, then it is not US losing money, but the MARKETS being changed due to player intervention. As a result, careful planning of how to spend your gil will help you, no?

4. Just because the value of 10 gil 1.0 is the same as 1 gil ARR, that does not mean that value of ALL items will remain the same. Again, the reboot and introduction of new materials and change in gameplay are all factors.

So it's not just a matter of maths. There are far too many variables to accurately determine whether we are losing, gaining or being level when it comes to the MARKET economics. However, our PERSONAL economics is simple - we will retain the same wealth as before.
