This I agree with. I am not trying to argue that SE is being malicious in doing this in fact far from it. I believe they genuinely want all aspects of ARR to work including the economy, and I think they did learn a lot from the problems with XI. I firmly believe they want to avoid XI's problem with rmt.

I feel they could handle the impact to those players who spent a lot of effort on gil making better. The 10s of millions I will loose in this in no way shape or form will be as easily remade as the 300 gil one of my friends is loosing. One 50 leve and he will be back where he started, but with the new economy it may take me years to get back to where I am now. My friend has focused all his play time getting his/our LS stuff instead of getting stuff for himself so I am happy he is loosing nothing in this, but at the same time its a bit absurd to call it equitable for everyone. Making economic adjustments is fine, but they need to take into account that players who invested time and effort in making gil instead of spamming Garuda, or AV are getting the short end of the stick in this process.

I'm not an economist, but I do think that when you add in the population changes, world transfers, and the new gil sinks like housing, the result will be an economic model that is much more complicated than their simple fractional math leads us to believe. Those fraction just get us to a starting point in ARR.
