ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Searious]

I hope you guys are right about people magically selling stuff cheaper. Otherwise I'm gonna be really broke for no reason.

[Zumi]

I think for awhile people will price stuff at the old rates and some dumb people will buy it, but eventually it will get lowered.

That's what they said before the meltdown... >.>

[Rannie]

you mean this isn't the meltdown?

Well, I just think saying "oh everyone will just sell everything for 10% of what they sell it now" is being simplistic. Sometimes the whole supply and demand thing does funny things to market prices. Do keep in mind that HQ is not subject to NPC prices.

ARR gil is worth 10x what gil is worth now. Frankly, anyone who sells anything now...

Have to be careful how the % come across. If you have 1/10 of the original you dont have 10% less money you have 90% less.

Also HQ prices have always been varried this is nothing new lol. Everyone is correct to assume that the market will have some old prices but no one in their right mind will pay 90% more (because everyone has 1/10, the old price will appear as 10X more).

In time, those who want to make money will sell at the new general median because thats where logic and underbiding will take them.

Speaking of % im pretty sure i've messed the % up in my posts too :P

But Shougun... if someone sells something that is worth 1000 gil now, for just 200 gil in ARR that's selling it for 100% more since it would be selling it for the equivalent of 2000 gil now.

I just don't think ARR economy will be as simple as "dropazero"

But Shogan... if someone sells something that is worth 1000 gil now, for just 200 gil in ARR that's selling it for 100% more since it would be selling it for the equivalent of 2000 gil now.

Well if it used to be 1000 they should sell it for 100. But yeah that looks right lemme re-read my 90% thing :P

So yeap screwed up thanks ^_^, its a digit off 10X more.

that's always true however you won't be able to sell something for 100 mil now in the market wards so it will most likely cause some of the prices to go down a bit if people try to sell stuff for over the 99,999,999 as opposed to when the max cap was 999,999,999 or whatever the max cap is going to be though i thought it was going to be 99,999,999. Even then after all it will still be about the same percentage as people are saying just scaled down. it's like take a car and making a model out of it. The model cars are scaled down in size so it's easier to make for the hobbyists i forgot the scale size compared to a real one. The only difference between the two is normally a model car can't be driven or even work for that matter unless it's an electric model type one.
