[Petition] - Unlock the Gil cap for transferring servers.

[LineageRazor]

Buying items to resell is definitely the smart way to go about it. If you're moving from a server where a Bluebird sells for 50 million to a server where it sells for 2 million, it's not because Bluebirds are rarer on your server, it's because there's more money in the economy. 2 million has as much buying power there as 50 million has on your home server.

Someone who buys 100 million gil worth of stuff on their home server, moves to a new one, and sells everything for only 5 million, is still just as wealthy as they were before.

Im sorry but I will have to say no about your petiton. I transfered twice, and all I had to do was go on the MB and buy expensive things, and re sell it after the transfer which even give me some profit. I also support this restriction.

It seems like if you want to get around the restriction (and maximize the value of the things you're bringing), you'll have to do one of two things depending on if you're transferring to a server with higher gil value or a lower.

If you're transferring to a server with a higher gil value (everything on the MB is cheaper). You'll want to buy the things that have a constant value (clear demateria, those vendor things you get from quests), then sell them back to the vendor once you transferred.

If you're transferring to a server with a lower gil value (everything on the MB is more expensive). You'll want to buy popular MB items that you can re-sell on the MB once you're on the new server (materia, demateria, shards, crystals).

Either way, the more gil you have, the more effort it's going to take to turn all that gil into inventory.

My advice, buy all da fat cats.
On low pop servers I noticed Fat cat goes 600-800k.
On Hyperion I've seen fat cat over 2mil.

Nutkin 8mil lol...and people buying at 8 mil...

[CGMidlander]

I'm not in favor of removing the cap, but increasing it would probably be okay.

1m is super low.

[Rhas]

1m is super low.

I can make 1m in less than a week from spending 30 minutes a day trying to make gil.

How is it super low? In my opinion, its perfectly acceptable.

[Fenral]

1m is the cap we had at launch, and when the transfer lock on Legacy characters was lifted, in order to keep fledgling economies stable. Keeping the same limit a year and a half later is too low.

Especially considering housing, which is intended as a primary motivator to even out server populations, costs more than twice that at its cheapest.

[BreathlessTao]

Fully in support of removing the gil cap on transfers. I have been saving up gil since basically launch... now I can't access content on my server because there's no availability (I'm looking at you, housing) - and I can't even move over to another server to at least join a friend or two, because it would make me lose all that, one and a half year's worth of work. I just refuse to accept that, especially when a single transfer costs even more than a month's subscription.

It would be great if they could lift the restriction a bit. It really depends on the servers' individual economies, but a lot of people do transfer with 1m+ and having to figure out how to transport the gil with them is a hassle. I do think there should be a restriction, but a couple months or so ago when I transferred I had over 5m easy and didn't consider myself rich by any means. It stinks that it takes so much planning, researching the other server's economy and buying things up in advance, buying up all the npc-ables you can find on mb, and hoping that you get back a decent percentage of what you started out with after the move. Restriction should be lifted at least somewhere between 3m and 5m per character including retainers imo.
