ARR Gil Cap Reduction

Perhaps we should stop trying to reasonably set people straight about this. Instead, level crafts for 2.0 and when it hits, sell everything for the new 10%-ish value.

You'll look like you're undercutting the market, but you'll actually be selling it for the same 1.0 value in 2.0 currency, and people will compare your item sold at 20k against the same item sold by everyone else at 200k.

You'll come out with the profit and you'll make the first steps to stabilizing the market.

That was my plan even before the gil change was announced. I'm going to craft a ton of low and mid level gear and sell it for a reasonable price... If some jerk comes along and buys it up and lists it higher I will start giving it away...

Same for me. I even do that now.
I don't really care about a "stabilized" economy if I consider the prices not representing the real value of the items.
Selling at the market ward currently represent only 25% of my earnings, I don't care losing a bit if it's to sell faster and more, at a price that I consider to be more reasonable.

And when I find an item at an outrageous price, I flood the market with it at my price. That usually do the trick for a couple weeks.

People will come out of it with the same purchase power as they have now. That's what counts, not the amount of digits.
If you still feel insecure, just look at this before going to bed:

2,000,000 gil now -> 200,000,0 gil then.
six zeros! -> six zeros!
