ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Kyra]

Only got 27 mil and have been trying to think of a way to make some money from this. The only way I could think of is make 3 million characters and put 9 gil on each character, that way I keep all 27 million presuming that if you have less than 10 gil on a character its not just wiped completly. So it is possible to keep it all :P

Did you not read the part where they said single digit gil items would be destroyed? I would assume that applies to players with single digit amounts of gil as well, it will be wiped. There is no way around it. Your gil is getting reduced by 90%.

Obviously my post was not serious, im not going to be making 3 million characters now am I lol.

your 3 chars with 9m each will turn into 3 chars with 900k each :/

I dont know what your talking about, i never mentioned splitting gil between 3 characters, what would be the point.

Pure genius, brb doing this.

Joke ?


Spreading it out:
100 gil / 25 characters = 4 gil
25 characters * 4 gil * 1/10 = 10 gil

Not spreading it out:
100 gil * 1/10 = 10 gil


Spreading it out:
Gil / Characters = GilPerCharacter
Characters *(GilPerCharacter * 1/10) = Left over
Not spreading it out:
Gil * 1/10 = Left over

What if you only have 1 gil? would they cut my gil in half? ;( LOL

Sucks for Gath. Guess his one Gil isn't going to be worth much... oh wait it never was!

[Alerith]

I....they....but.....what!?

Is this concept really that hard to understand for these people? My brain is hurting from this thread, not because of the math, but because people seem to really not understand it. I am at a loss...

"If I have 100mil now and I don't have 100mil in ARR, then SE is taking my hard earned gil."

No. No they are not.

1,000,000 gil in ARR is EQUAL IN VALUE to 100,000,000 in 1.0. You are losing nothing. An item that cost 99 Million in 1.0 (which you could afford) will cost 9 million in ARR (which *GASP* you can still afford!).

The ONLY hiccup in this entire system is when ARR first launches and ignorant, stupid players still try to sell things at 1.0 price, which won't happen for long at all.
