ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Bizzy]

So this means I won't have the same amount of gil that I have now in the current version? Which is only around 20 mil. If that is what they are meaning, then that is bullshit. I didn't do what I did to earn my gil for just shits and grins.

So in other words I wasted my time if they are instead gonna steal some of it when ARR launches.

Is it that hard to comprehend that everyone not just you will be losing the same amount and the economy will scale down to reflect everyone now having 9/10 less of what they had before?

This is the problem with redenomination - the psychological impact.
You are not losing ANYTHING. Think of it this way;

NOW: you have 10,000gil and a Gysahl green costs 2,500g from the escort NPC
That is 10k/2.5k = 4 .. That is 25% of your gil.

In 2.0 EVERYTHING is getting the reduction meaning that:

You will have 1000gil and a Gysahl green will cost no more then 250g from the NPC
1000g/250g = 4 ... which is 25% of your gil.

25% = 25%

We lose nothing.

You completely fail to understand, period.
Don't you realize you'll be able to buy exactly the same with your 300k then than with your 3m now? Seriously?

This is why I stay out of the forums. I love getting flamed for things I wasn't even concerned about nor did I mention anything about.

NPC costs scaling down is all well and good, and thank you SE for that. But um...you really think people are going to be as understanding in the market wards? If anything, most things in there will go UP in price. Some things will go down, because they're already higher than anyone will have starting off 2.0 (lol), but things are already so ridiculous in the wards...I honestly don't see that changing, and that's the real problem and the reason scaling everything down isn't really a logical option, in my honest opinion.
