You're assuming these are the set prices while the prices are purely driven by players' supply and demand.

The redemoniation will not immediately make sellers price their goods at 1/10 of the old pricing. But these prices will be adjusted soon enough if the sellers actually want to sell stuff. If buying power stays the same, you don't have to worry much about the price changes. If there are price changes, it will not be caused by the redenomination instead it's going to be caused by the supply and demand and ARR changes.
I am not assuming they are set in stone, I assuming they wont have a % increase in 2.0.

if Choker at 8m goes to 4m instead of 800k it has had a 50% increase to its relation of reduction. Your argument would be valid if you said that the 8m choker went UP by 50% in 2.0 to 12m, then it would be considered the same.

If nothing changed and nothing happened, and we went into 2.0 with equality then that be all fine, but we are being reduced, an item is not and has gained value at the % higher than 10. And you assume people will not buy stuff at prices higher than 1/10th of the value, inflation has proven this incorrect, and you dont know if people will or not, just like i dont know if it will reduce or not, so what i am saying is a prediction, if you predict people will not pay anything above 1/10th thats gravy, but it doesn't seem like you're predicting it, more like insisting that will happen as you've not stated you assume or predict the way people act.

Right.... and? This whole argument is about what I predict, I never once said anything is a sure bet, I never once said I know this will happen, I said countless times that I will predict "this will happen" because of "this and this and this" and people are like THAT WONT HAPPEN, im sorry but it is a possibility, it is something that could happen. You might not think it will, but I think it could.

As I said earlier, it could very well be that prices go to 1/20th of their value and you become richer in that area because you can buy twice as many now. Relics could become 1m each and u could buy 3 of them. Its a possibility that could very well happen, but I do not believe it will, thats my opinion.

It's pointless to even hypothesize exactly what percentage of the original price you think things will go to, because when the economy starts back up in 2.0, the demand for tons of items is going to change. Some items will go away (arrows), some items will be needed less, others will be needed more. The economy will gradually stabalize over time. It may prove benefiical to be conservative initially, but beyond that, nobody needs to take any special action to influence the economy. It will settle on its own.

Yes, by the way, I'm fully aware it's been talked about before. THere's been like a dozen threads on this topic- but in most of them except this one, people have come to grips with the fact that the effect this change has on people is not what some people are worrying it will be. For some reason, in this one, the panic is back in full force and people like the OP are calling it a "wipe" when it isnt.
Well argue the OP about the word "Wipe", my wording is a "Loss". I am saying we are going to loose some Gil, if you dont believe that that is your belief, you can throw all the facts at me all day long and I will throw many back at you.

The economy will stabilize and this will all be moot, but I predict it will not stabilize at 1/10th, thus I have had to earn more to get to that stabilized economy. I reckon, with MY OWN predictions it will stabilize higher.

If you actually bothered to read this thread you would realise it is mainly this debate with me that is going on and no one is freaking out. You would have realised this, if you read the thread, you'd also not post stuff which has already been touched on several times.
