ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[NoctisUmbra]

There needs to be a pic of a slowpoke with Matsume written on it.

Also... dear god if I'm actually called a troll again I'm going to lose what little hope I have left in humanity ( or at least the fraction of it that are active on these forums.)

Matsume, no one is arguing that the wards are going to drop to exactly 1/10th of what they are now. But you seem to be avidly arguing that they won't change at all, which is just as absurd.

People have mentioned it numerous times, economies are driven by supply and demand, no one makes lowbie gear, so the few people who do are free to charge whatever they can get away with.

For someone who's sig is full of their ffxi crafting savvy you sure complain a lot about not being able to find something that anyone who spent 30 minutes at a craft could make.

If you don't want to spend 200k for a level 8 item, spend ~3k for it's component pieces, 1k for the weathered tool for it's required craft and put it together yourself... at level one you should have no issue making it. Or see if you have a friend who can make it... you do have friends... right?

I never argued that prices would stay the same, just that its naive to think they will drop to 1/10th the current prices.

I'm not complaining about some guy charging 200K for an item that cost 2K, jut proving a point that the prices are elevated because people think they can get away with ripping other people off; which will continue after ARR regardless of the redenomination. And yes as noctis pointed out it's already happening.

Yes, I can make the item, and yes I have friends, ones with all crafts at lvl 50 AND all luminary items. Thank you very much.

I wasn't calling you a troll, just the guy defending you; besides why do you have any hope in humanity to begin with? I see no reason for such naivete.
