If SE is taking away my hard work...

What I'm telling you is this:

The amount of money the system creates and the amount it removes through gil sinks are also scaled porportionally in the same amount that our own gil is being changed by. Thus, value is coming in and out of the system at the same rate it was before (note the word "value"- it's important). Because of this, it won't be realistically possible for people to charge substantially differently without preventing people from being able to buy, and thereby forcing them to adjust their prices until people ARE willing to buy. You, the buyer, have a lot of power to speak with your wallet and prevent any significant economic change from taking place.

Because the demand for some items will change (because a lot of items are being changed/added/removed from the game), no, prices are not going to be exactly the same as they were before. But they already varied a lot from one server to the next and with rising and falling needs. So while some things will change, there isn't going to be some kind of economic cataclysm like some people here are hypthoesizing.

Hugely missing the point, no one is saying there is going to be a cataclysm effect, in fact a 20% loss is very minimal.

Many gil sinks do not affect many players such as Chocobo, Repairs, Airships, etc. Not to mention we have been told they're only 1/10th now so they not exactly sinking much. 500g gone is nothing to my 15m i will have in 2.0

Now, prices will attempt to be high at the start, and gradually decrease LIKE YOU SAID, but the argument here, the prediction I am making is that they will NOT go to 1/10th.

Thus the set of X items you could get in 1.0, you have an unlikely chance to be able to purchase for 1/10th in 2.0, that is my prediction here, this is a prediction argument.

Read the threads, this has been repeated.

I'm sorry, but I'm not confused- you clearly seem to be though, because you say yourself you don't understand.

Keep telling yourself it's a "gil wipe" though. If it was really a gil wipe, they'd set us all to 0 and not scale gil produced/destroyed and vendor prices.

You clearly have no understanding whatsoever of economics. I highly reccomend you take Macroeonomics in college and then maybe you might understand what I'm trying to tell you.

Yoshi P knows what he is doing. He is not trying to screw anyone over or take your money away. He is simply making a system wide adjustment to the economy. He is not being some kind of jerk or something. People are panicking over nothing.

If they set to 0, people stock in items because everything is a loss, and then they are not needing to buy so much, the reason they have done 10% is to reduce it significantly but not so much it hurts the players and a lot of people will buy into the misleading statements Yoshi has stated. Which is clearly working!

If you are going to try insult my education and say I clearly have not done economics when I can easily say the thing about you, then I am not even going to argue with you because it seems you rage too easily.
