    I find that very hard to believe. You're trying to say he was making nearly 20mil per day since the game's release? I'd be surprised if anyone anywhere has capped gil yet, but it seems likely some will by the end of the year.

    And anyway, if you want to control the market on any given item you can do that with 10mil or less. All that having a lot of gil gives you is the power to buy expensive +3 items. But the people with the most gil aren't the ones buying these, they're the ones making them.

    Lord could you imagine if this was to happen.

    We have decided to roll back all progression up until this point to allow all players to be on a level playing field. Thank you for grinding up to R50 on all classes and professions, we appreciate you taking part in this extended beta, and hope you enjoy doing it all again, just so the new guys don't feel sad about being behind.
    This would be the first occasion of a video game induced frenzy riot.

    Rollback is off the table.
    The drastic changes will occur in such a way that we will keep our class ranks, though the abilities attached to them are subject to change.

    If crafting needs change... I'll be on equal footing with anyone who ranks their crafts up to the level I'm at. Changing my character development strategy after the changes is far more acceptable than being forced to spend time I don't have getting back to where I was. I made all my progress during the winter months... I likely wouldn't be able to repeat the grind until we get back to that season.

    Large amounts of gil are not, and I'd be willing to argue could never be, an issue.

    How does a person earn gil? -- By spending time gathering/creating items and then selling them to people who want them. This is a good thing, always.

    How does a person get rich? -- By using their money wisely, not wasting it, but saving it. This doesn't hurt anyone.

    Why can large amounts of gil not be abused? -- Because in order for him to buy out markets, he has to give away large amounts of gil. If people are smart they'll just flood the market with these items or farm them themselves, either way if someone tries to jack up prices, it only works as well as people are willing to subject themselves to arbitrary prices.

    On Topic: No wipe coming. Aside from them already explicitly stating they would not, if they then backtracked and did so.... well it's not the best way to reward your most loyal players.
