Destroying Server Economies

[Seraphor]

If these prices are adjusted to their respective economies, then their effective value should be roughly equal, even if the nominal price is different. Prior to today, a single gil on a higher pop server has more purchasing power than a single gil on a lower pop server, and thus 400k may seem cheaper, but is going to be roughly the same amount of purchasing power as 2 million gil on that other server. The only place where you get into an issue is where the population gets so low that there's no consistency to supply and demand, which allows for weird situations that don't auto-adjust to crop up, though that can happen with individual items on larger servers as well.

This is only true for people partaking in marketboard shenanigans.
For regular non-crafting, non-flipping players, 1gil is 1gil, because all of your gil is obtained through direct involvement with the games systems, not the dynamic marketboard economy.

This is why super inflated markets where those items are 2m instead of 400k are so bad. New players or players who don't have the time or patience for crafting don't stand a goddamn chance.
