If SE is taking away my hard work...

[viion]

No it's not that, I was just wondering why different items, you seem extremely confident about that bow, so I thought it would be a sure bet. What other high ticket items do you think are going go increase in value 500%? I'm curious.

I am not saying the bow is a sure bet it is an example. I dont think any shard if it exists will be 3g/piece instead of 30g, I dont think all of the relics will be 1/10th their value, I dont think Vanya which is 2m on my server will become 200k. I dont think Militia Choker which is about 8m will be 800k. And so on, plenty of items.

I am SICK of seeing this topic come up. 19 likes even, for someone who has no understanding of what redenomination really meas.

SE IS NOT TAKING AWAY ANY OF YOUR WORK. **EVERYONE** is affected by this equally. Money is being scaled, not taken away. All NPC buy/sell prices, all gill rewards and costs, and everything else will also be scaled accordingly.

This does NOT hurt the poor or help the rich. Because of differences in supply and demand, some prices will change, but everything will balance out over time, as it does with any economy be it game or real life.
Whether you have 999 million or just 9 gil, your buying power stays the same (Hell, if you have 5-9 gil, your buying power actually will probably go up very slightly due to rounding).

STOP THE FREAKING PANIC AND STOP HATING ON SE for making a reasonable, logical change to the game. Nothing other than a single arrow buys for less than 10 gil, therefore the extra digit is unnecessary and just makes players deal in larger numbers.

I'm sorry if I sound angry here but I really find the lack of understanding on this issue appalling.

You are late to the thread, so you are yelling and balling about a post someone made yesterday without reading the arguments of why you are wrong.

Once agian, another person who fails to understand the issue.

The amount of mony any person has is irrelevant. Everyone will have porportionally the same amount and same buying power they had before. The only difference is how we're expressing that buying power.

This is called redenominaiton, has happened dozens of times throughout Earth's history and people do not lose money. In effect, all you are doing is trading in 10 small units for 1 larger unit. You have a smaller number of big units that buy the same amount of stuff the larger number of small units bought before. Fears of price gouging are overblown. Supply and Demand will force prices to where they should be over time. EVERYBODY WINS. NOBODY LOSES.

When it happens on Earth, the economy is reduced, all shops sell for less, because its controlled. In an MMO it is not controlled and people do not need to follow the 1/10 reduction for selling.

Everyone will go down the same, Items may not follow that trend, thus your buying power has reduced if all items do not reduce down equally. Read the thread before ya rage much.
