    Also like I said to Megan, people that make claims of material value make irl examples relevant. Should I have made a comparison of those in game wool sweaters that cost millions of gil in the beginning compared to now? Is that more valid than what I just said? Pretty much no. they are both good examples of what happens when items become more common, just because one involves real life doesn't somehow make it less relevant than a in game example.
    I never said it detracts from my value on my end, I said it detracts on your end which is fine, but why should I care if the value detracts from your end? The ingame example is makes more sense since in a video game people are more aloof with their money and it is easier to come by. With your irl example you are framing it in such a way to focus on someone attachment to value to an object outside of the game. Sure if someone spent over 500k for a car for it to be sold for 5 bucks later the normal reaction for most would be get upset. For some that amount of money would take 10 years to earn. In a game where you can make 5 million gil in a weekend same situation sort of does not hold imo. I get what you are trying to do with the hypothetical, and even in your example I never admitted that I would personal my value of the car would be lessened if more people hand it. I did say you properly would though, and I understand why you would, just as I understand why you would feel slighted if pvp rewards changes.

    More or less you are saying because it detracts from your value no one outside the top 100 players should have the item. Which is fine, it is a selfish reason just as those that want the item simply because they want said item is selfish. So what makes your selfish desire more valid over another?
