ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Chinook]

It is for this reason that everything i gather and craft will be stored on my retainer until 2.0 and not be sold in this version from now on..

Yeah, that's what I'll do too. Even if prices have doubled since this announcement and Atomos, I still believe stuff will be worth more than 20% of their old price (or 10% of their recent new inflated price) come 2.0.

Poor people (which i'm not far of being) could just gather / farm stuff and sit on it instead of posting illogical texts here.

I'm now of the opinion if anyone wants to quit due to the perceived unfairness -- please do! The game will be far better off without you.

archers in A Realm Reborn will no longer need arrows.

Quick question: if everyone continues to sell at 1.0 prices, who is going to keep buying?

That won't happen. It doesn't make any sense.
If a Item sells for 5m now and you have 50m, that's ok.
But once your 50 turns into 5m, that 5m item will have to go down to 1m tops, otherwise NOTHING will sell.

And there you have it. Can we close this thread now?

I'm glad you guys can see the future and know exactly what everyone will do and exactly where prices will fall. I feel a lot better now. >_>.

I practice the ancient chinese art of divination by applying a hot iron to turtle plastron and interpreting the sounds produced by the cracking of it's shell. When this method turns out inconclusive I supplement my imperical data by Augury, the interpretation of bird's flight patterns.

people won't sell at the same price they are now, but it's completely naive to think the price of most items will drop to 1/10 of what they sell now. At best they'll sell for 1/5 but more realistically speaking 1/3 of what they sell now. It's even more naive to think that the same people encouraging this measure won't be the one overpricing, and/or buying overpriced items. Thinking that all the leathers and hides and junk items will go from 4000gil to 400gil is kidding yourself.

I agree with you 100 percent. ;_;
