Thread: Fresh Start will ruin 2.0

The best part about this economy thread is, any player can do their job adequately without the OMG leet gear.
Top-tier gear just makes your job easier.

There is a significant problem with trying to compare the indavidual server economies of ffxiv to those of real world nations.


The key difference is the server economies are closed system where monetary supplies, goods and services and their attendant prices are effected by only those on the server itself, national economies are open systems where international trade is a factor that is not present in XIV... There is no interserver trade. So the economy of say durandal, can not be affected by market surpluses and shortfalls from day... Balmung.

As to the additon of npc bought items, that will not be affected by players Gil stores but decided upon by player Gil earning potential. That is the primary reason the airship tickets work the way they do...

These are first year macro-Econ principles.

one day people will learn to look at who started the thread and realize what its really about before they start replying

stupid thread is stupid and trollish

Yes, well when this game succeeds and starts turning a profit for SE you can complain that I'm a troll. But for now this game is borderline failing (and just gave up they best chance of marketing for 2.0 by not showcasing it at E3). So if I notice something that will make the game fail more-so than it currently is, I'm going to point it out in hopes that someone intelligent realizes what mistakes they are making.

As much as you hate me, most of the negative stuff I claimed would happen (server merges, economies centralizing in ul'dah and other cities dying, shift away from open world to instanced stuff) all happened, regardless of people saying "ZOMG YOUR A TROLLLLLLL"

And I do my best to contribute to the community, as I've created numerous guides ppl seem to find useful.

So if you don't like my argument make a serious educated counter-argument instead of "ZoMg NUH uhhhhhh THAT WOULDNT HAPPEN, dUHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
