ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Raagnar]

No matter how you spin it the bottom line is the same, they are removing gil from the game. You can make peace with it by saying things will even out and I'll still have the same amount in value.. but this will shake things up because this is one thing he said he would not do. Even if you relabel it, its still gil being deleted. anyone remember the Simpsons? "temporary refund adjustment"

oh i agree with you that it is being removed. i was just pointing out 2 things.

1. it's the most fair way to remove gil. i still don't see how losing over 270 mil compared to someone else losing 1 mil is really fair.

2. the people that got rich got there by playing the market for profits. they will still continue to do that. the rich will not automatically become poor because of the change. they will still make 10x the profit of someone else.

If you must insist, to avoid further wordplay I'll simplify.

Are they removing gil from the game? It can be interpreted as such, perhaps, since all values are decreasing and the currency name is the same.

Are they removing any wealth from the game? No. Nobody is losing wealth. Everyone is just as rich/poor as they were before.

If you still don't understand how that is:

Actually he said there won't be character wipes. He never said that there wouldn't be a readjustment of gil in circulation.
