ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Claustrum]

We are being told that removal of arrows from the economy requires them to remove one digit from the amount of gil you can carry, and reduce total gil possessed/introduced.

Could someone please point me to the quote where SE actually says that the removal of arrows from the game is what is forcing them to do this change? It's probably right in front of my face or something, but I've only seen heresay from people so far, and I get the feeling this is one of those self-perpetuating rumors.

It would make vastly more sense that they had to pull arrows from the game because of gil changes, not the other way around. After all, who wants to spend 10 gil per arrow on the newb arrows?

Edit: I read more of it, I get the feeling you don't understand a few concepts. It would be too painful for me to hit all of the points, but I'll just take the low-hanging fruit:

Where I have a problem with this is they should be upfront with us if this is what they are doing.

They are being upfront with us. They told us what they're going to do, and they still haven't done it yet. According to you, we also already know why they did it. What more do you want?
