ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Shougun]

So if someone with 10m will now have 1m and someone with 10k will have 1k? 9m vs 9k loss? Want to carry out most you can from this would make sense to have max characters with gil split evenly amongst them, then after AAR you could recollect your gils. Ijs if it's 1/10 for everyone

EDIT: Majoga didnt really need this reply as they found it out before I posted. But ill leave it for others confused.

If you divide your money among 10 characters evenly and then multiply each characters gil by 1/10 you would have the same result as taking the original sum and multiplying it by 1/10.

100 gil * (1/10) = 10 gil

100 gil / 4 characters = 25 gil each ;

Now take the sum of (4 characters) * 25 gil * (1/10) = 10 gil.

Why is this an issue? If you have close to cap gil, you clearly aren't spending it...so it's worthless to you.

I currently have 8.2 million gil, so I'm going to lose 820k...still leaving me with about 7.4 million gil. I don't mind at all, since most of my gil has come from selling junk to an NPC. I'll just end up doing the same thing in A Realm Reborn and making it all back.

People spend more than this in one materia attempt, and have no problem with it. Just pretend you tried a huge meld attempt right before the servers went down and you lost.

EDIT:
I'm dumb. Disregard this. :3

Umm...no your gil is going down to 820k gil...

Oh, reading comprehension. We'll HAVE 1/10 our gil, not lose 1/10.

That's it, I'm quitting!

I just have to say it...

Can I have your gil?

Ok Ok... back to the conversation at hand.

Nevermind just checked my math, with 4 characters split 20m at 5m each you're still only left with 2m in the end...

Yay! You worked it out on your own I was debating whether to reply

[seuki]

Why can't people do math.

[KaplanHomahru]

Why can't people do math.

They can, to an extent. They know that 100 > 10, but they just don't take it conceptually far enough like 'Oh everything/everyone in the entire game will be adjusted around this making it the same as it is now in a different way'

Be nice it requires evil fractions, multiplication and division required to understand :P (playing with ya).

Though there are some people who just read a vague translation and are coming here going "wtf?" and come out alright once they understand.
