You-...I-... wha? Where did you get the idea that I was suggesting people continue to sell stuff for the price from before and make their gil back or whatever. I never so much as implied such a notion.

My entire post is a sequence of cause and effect. Unfortunately, we cannot predict the future in this case with any hard evidence.

I can understand how it may be confusing to grasp, as seen by the popularity of people actually believing SE is simply gonna remove any gil we have in excess off 99,999,999 come ARR - and they support this notion with Bayohne's post that they won't be wiping any gil which I fınd very ironic.

Let me try to clarify:

1. Everyone's gil is reduced to 10% of it's previous value. All NPC sale values are reduced to 10% of their previous value. All gil rewards are reduced to 10% of their previous value. Re-denomination. 1 ARR gil = 10 1.XX gil.

2a. Buyers have significantly less gil than before when they consider the not-yet-adjusted market wards values and therefore they do not buy anything as paying 1mil for something now would amount to having paid 10m for it before.

2b. Sellers notice that nothing is selling like it used to at the old prices and repeatedly drop prices until things sell. Technically they wouldn't be losing any profit at all until they go below 10% of the previous sale price. This means they won't have any trouble dropping prices by large values at a very quick rate. Even the most stubborn of them will be forced to.

3. New supply/demand rates are met and new prices are achieved in the market - likely eventually hovering around 10% of what they used to be.
