ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Dubont]

It's called the economy is bad and we're all taking the hit not just you... I might not be rich but shit man. We have a shitty economy even with npcs I mean think on it 62 +k to buy a piece of armor or something that's for lvl 25s and that's from an npc?

This isn't the only game with NPCs overpricing. This is, however, the first game I've played where they steal your hard earned gil for no real reason.

*shakes head* uhmmmm whatever dude they're scaling it down for everyone and not all your "hard earned" gil. Basically your gil right now is pretty worthless you understand that right? It's worth probably about the same as the japanese yen or even the mexican peso but if you want to be blind and rage over them trying to fix and stabilize the economy because they're taking one digit away from EVERYONE'S gil then that's kinda stupid seeing how this is a game and isn't even real. Or are you an RMT and pissed now because your way of making real money has gone down some?

Then give me one good reason as to WHY we should all have our gil stolen from us, because as far as I can see, there is not a single reason.

When they posted that big poll about whether or not we wanted to see drastic changes to the game 76% of the populous voted yes to the drastic changes in the game so think of this as a drastic change it was voted for by the majority so just deal with it ....

your most likely one who voted against this from what i see in your posts here in this thread

See? big letters over your head "I DON'T GET IT!"

If you have 100 pennies and I come along and offer you 10 dimes for them are you going to yell at me for trying to rip you off?

THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING! Just instead of going from pennies to dimes we are going from gil that is worth 1 gil, to gil that is worth 10 gil.

no...we're going from 100 pennies to 1 dime.

[KaplanHomahru]

no...we're going from 100 pennies to 1 dime.

And then they are changing the value of 1 dime to 100 pennies.

[Pyretta_Blaze]

no...we're going from 100 pennies to 1 dime.

But that dime is now worth the same as the 100 pennies were previously....

[Shougun]

no...we're going from 100 pennies to 1 dime.

We are getting a multiplier of 1/10 on every gil source, and all gil currently in the system.

So 1/10 of 100 is 10. If you wanted to go back to the old currency that would be 10/1 (10/1 * 1/10 = 1).

So the "number" of currency carried around is less. However the power of the currency is 10 times as powerful.

Basically nothing has happened. 1/10 the amount, 10 times the power. 1/10 * 10 = 1.

(1 means no change)

no...we're going from 100 pennies to 1 dime.

No, you aren't. And that is what you don't get. And until you get it I'm just going to refer to you as an idiot. Because it's not worth trying to explain it to you. You abjectly refuse to think about it in any other context than your personal gil is going down in number.

So when you decide to pull your head from your nethers and THINK for a minute about how this effects EVERYONE... and you slowly come to the realization that IT DOESN'T. Then I will retract my comment about your OBVIOUS idiocy.
