ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[HiirNoivl]

Awwww... /comfort

They should consider just dividing the gil into smaller denominations. Other games ran into this problem too. In most recent memory, TERA did exactly what WoW did. They both started out with just gold, but ended up adding silver and copper denominations, with what was previously 1 gold equaling 1 copper. Everyone probably wants to keep gil so I don't know what they'd call it here though.

Still, it'd probably feel nicer to new players to get 1000 copper coins instead of like, 1 gil or whatever it's going to end up being now.

Just assume that hey have. 1 "new gil" will be worth 10 "old gil". Tada, crisis averted.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S HAPPENING, PEOPLE.

I have zero problem with it either way, but if the goal was to have less ridiculous numbers, adding new denominations would've made more sense and certainly caused less whining from people who can't do math.

Wow... I reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllly hope that half the people in this thread don't ever breed.

EVER!

Speaking of breeding, I get the concept here, so I guess that means my genes are viable to pass along. Any takers?

I say we change to ANCIENT CURRENCY.

1 gil = 1 Byne Bill
1000 gil = 1 Montoit Silverpiece
100000 gil = 1 Lugo Nango Jadeshell.

Lol There is so much rage in this thread. I can feel it radiating out of my computer monitor.

Everything will be alright guys. You rich guys will take a cut, but us poor folk will still be as poor as we are already.

Don't think my feelings are hurt? Lol. Trust me, I'll be wearing a pouty face when I see my measly 200k turn into 20k, too.

We got through 1.0, fellas, we'll live through this... if everyone isn't consumed by rage and spontaneously combusts because of it.

Lol but then I'll be all the way poor!

In all honesty, if this is what was happening to people, all money being reset to 0gil, then I think people should rage. But it's not. Lol, yet people are irate!

i feel the same way as you do here. the only issue i had with the original announcement was that it was stated by the rep making it seem as though only the people above the cap would be affected. that is where i had the issue. once i seen rein's translation since it's more reliable most times and seen it was coming from every player my issues were solved.

i'm not going to be foolish and think that every item will ever get down to 10% of what they cost now though. i don't ever see shards of any type selling for 3gil each nor foods selling for 100, but i can see gear prices dropping quickly to fall inline.
