Few problems with that.

*When everyone has reduced gil, no one is going to want to pay the inflated 1.0 prices for things.

*Regardless of the denomination change, the community will have to re-evaluate the value of all items in 2.0. Most facets of the game are changing in one way or another, this will change how useful certain items are.

*New players will be making gil at the 2.0 rates, not the 1.0 rates. If people try to sell items at the 1.0 rates then they are losing out on business from all of the new players. They simply won't be able to afford those prices.

Prices may not come out to be exactly 1/10th of what they are now but they will be reduced to reflect the change. There are people out there who are already planning to use the 2.0 price rates so those that don't follow simply won't be able to sell anything.
