The gil isnt being lowered in value - its being equally divided to maintain the same value *if an item was the same difficulty to obtain and disregarding player theory an item will cost the same in 1.0 as it does in 2.0.

The cap is being lowered to keep the same cap in %. Technically they could leave the cap, but this would mean they increased the cap.

The cap in respect to the rest of the market hasnt changed.
