ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Seig345]

If the change just shaves off any gil above the cap, that would leave someone who has 150,000,000gil with 99,999,999... If the change just knocks a digit off, it would leave someone who has 150,000,000gil with 15,000,000gil, which is 84,999,999gil less than the former, and yet some rich players seem to be an advocate of the latter... I'm not following here...

Also, where's that digit being knocked off from? If it's from the end, are we saying 123,456,789 gil would be 12,345,678 gil, or would it be 23,456,789? Regardless which end you shave that digit off though, someone over cap would still wind up with less gil than just having any extra gil over the cap shaved off... (EDIT: UNLESS, that someone happened to be exactly at the current cap of 999,999,999 gil, granted)

It sounds like some players don't like this simply because they want everyone to lose gil, not just them... Maybe it's just me, but the entire premise of Final Fantasy just doesn't seem to fit with that.
