ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[KaplanHomahru]

What about the large pieces of land that require large amounts of gil to buy from an NPC? Or those expensive housing upgrades? For those of us who worked hard at making gil in 1.0, for the very reason that we would be well on our way to buying some of the great things 2.0 would bring, are being shafted and given the reasoning that arrows make up 90% of the current economy so removing arrows means 90% of our gil has to go. Oh but I haven't really lost anything because I can now buy cotton underwear from an NPC for 1/10th the price.

For those who haven't worked on saving up a nest egg this isn't a big deal, but for those of us who have we are in fact losing something.

Spoiler: Your nest egg will be (relatively speaking, not literally) the same size in 2.0! Congrats!

I already understood that bit, but hypothetically speaking lets say a desirable game item costs 99 million in 2.0, and a person with 100 million goes down to 10 million. They have in fact lost 90 million gil, and the ability to buy that item.

Btw can I get another side order of snide to go with that troll?

Yo fool, if you have 100 mil in gil and it changes to 10 mil there is a 90 mil difference, I am losing 90 mil, or do you not see this? I am not a math scholar, but even I can see I will be losing gil that I played hard for. You can say what you want, and try to justify nothing is being lost, "it'll be the same in v2.0", its not there is loss, and major waste of countless hours in game earning it all.

Nest egg, I like that because that is exactly what I was working on making gil for, and the gil earned achievements, bust my ass playing, crafting, farming, and now I'm being penalized for spending a lot of game play. It's bullshit, and if SE said they care about players, that is a crock because if they did, they would work on making them happy and wanting to keep people playing. I'll pass on a stupid ass jump feature to keep all my gil.

You dont get it, you are exchanging your gil for gil +1. Which is valued at 10x the previous version.

And so is everyone else.

hopefully they take the same thought process to the stat values... having 300 of a stats is just stupid

In other words, all the hard work you've put into saving up gil won't be lost. Even though the gil you possess will become 1/10th what it currently is, we're adjusting NPC sale/buy prices to also become 1/10th what they are now, so relatively nothing will change. However, we do apologize that this may be a shock emotionally.

Who the $@#& cares about NPC prices? I've never ever bought anything from NPC aside from lv.1 weapons. The economy is entirely in the hands of the players, and there's no way in hell they gonna slash their prices to 9/10 just like that.

If everyone is going to have their money reduced, people better lower their prices, or nobody would buy from them. Hell, most people wont be able to, even if they want to, they wont have the money, lol.
Sure, there wont be a perfect conversion ratio by the players, but it will get close enough in a very short time.

No way they'll slash their prices by 9/10, and no way you'll slash the prices on items you sell by 9/10 either (since you'll set your price according to the same market).

So ... business as usual.
