ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Orophin]

Well, I can see everyone getting reduced to 10% of their wealth to not go over well, but with recent developments with dawn drops and all, it really has to be done. This is going to screw people that legitimately made their money more than anyone. On the plus side, almost all of the gil the supposed RMTs farming Cedarwood are accumulating will be gone. This is the best thing SE can do since they can't outright ban them.

I'm sitting on about 10mil right now. Going down to 1mil seems like a huge kick in the nads, but if everything drops in price accordingly it should be ok.

Not really..

If RMT are selling 10 mil for 10 bucks (random example) they will just start selling 1 mil for 10 bucks. They don't really lose anything...

I think the biggest oversight for this though is the fact prices are determined by player economy. Can we honestly say that in the futurue people will be selling felt bracers for 3500 just because its 1/10 of the price? I honestly don't see that happening. They will probably shoot up to 7-8k if not more even with this gil reduction. Other items will more than likely follow suit so this is an absolutely ridiculous solution to the fact we have too much gil and gear. Better stock up on that relic materia now.

Req:

Things are overpriced now. But they're at the bottom of the list and no one buys them.

People may attempt at first to try to keep prices as high as they are now, but undercutters will chip away at those prices.

Also, about relic: It is unlikely that the double meld requirement will make it into ARR since it happens after the quest is accepted. Double meld class specific weapons will crash. If you have one, get rid of it. Either with the quest or selling it. It's worthless.

Did they not say that those who are on the relic quest will keep their progression? The only way for them to make it so we truly keep our progress is if they do not change the quest. I don't really see how they could change it and still say we have kept the same progress unless the new quest just takes the same number of steps to get to the end.

Ah... the double meld is step 1, when you accept the quest... there is no progress.

actually that is your progress, you have to start the quest pick your weapon then go fight your NM and get your double meld.... thats how the quest begins... sure if you don't turn it in your not making any real progress but you flagged the quest already which means you'll still be on that phase come 2.0

and yoshi already said nothing is going to change for relic and that he finds that its too easy already cause more people have relics then they thought would atm

More sensible and less inflated numbers make me happy.

Thank you SE for the redenomination. I am most pleased.

Wow ^^ It took me month to get up to my current 5 Million. Seems that I will only have 500k in 2.0...... Well.... could be worse... It could be raining......

Never had more than 500k in FFXI..... will feel like taken back in time.

There are still people who don't understand that nobody loses anything?

There's nothing to even discuss on this topic anymore except perhaps the emotional aspect.
