ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Cynthis]

One side benefit of dividing by 10 (and NOT introducing decimals) is that it will be more expensive to undercut. If I am selling shards today for 100 gil someone can put their shards up at 99 and undercut me but only "lose" 1%. In the new system I would be selling at 10 and the person undercutting would have to go to 9, "losing" 10%.

It'll be the same as the inventory items we keep on our characters past 100, the gil will be moved to an NPC (most likely delivery moogle) for us to collect.

lol, now that would be hilarious!

Oh please... tell me. Where did I insult YOUR intelligence?

I want to talk to the organ grinder not the monkey.

Devs need to stop lurking and post a response.

And apparently I'm the one insulting people.

Believe me, I'm looking forward to the devs/reps clarifying further just as much as everyone else.

Making 10x less gil as opposed to before is not the same as it being more difficult to make gil if the new gil value is a re-denomination of the old one. Difficulty in making gil would be based on how many avenues one has to earn gil and the relationship between how much NPCs sell for vs how much an average player makes. Both of those things will be remaining the same.

You're really caught on this idea that you need to get back into the millions to feel rich, whereas being the hundreds of thousands will be considered very well off.

You're talking like everyone will follow the redenomination move like robots once the measure is in place. For things to work like you say, we'd have to play a solo game with only NPC in the game.

Where did I say I needed to get back the millions the redenomination eat to feel rich? Don't make things up please. I'm saying that redenomination won't have the psychological effect SE intended when it happen.

You're the one stuck up with the idea that redenomination will work forgetting in the process all the negative points that invalid your argument. Here's another side effect redenomination will have; new players won't have much in their gil bank and will think they're poor, they'll overprice the items they sell at the ah and after a floating period everything will be at the price it was in v1.0. Everyone will hit the cap sooner than in v1.0, they will start to not care much about the selling/buying price and prices will explode even more.

I suppose we both have our predictions of how this redenomination will play out in the market. At this point I'm officially tired of trying.

As it has been with every other change that hit this game, we'll just see what happens. However I don't want to discuss this any further I feel like I've said everything I had to say. Oh, and I won't make some accusation against any of you to cover myself as I leave either lol

Obviously the gil in your Char will be cut by 1/10 e.g u have 23M in 2.0 u will have 2.3M so pretty much spend ur gil on w/e if u like gamble however yoshi says dont do that in his post

[KiraHime]

There's no gamble involved. This is just removing the pennies from the economy so every can keep on dealing how they did before just without so many zero's. they were needless!

Everything and Everyone will get the exact same reduction. People who were 10x richer will STILL be 10x richer, the gil they earned is still worth the same. I dont understand how nobody could NOT understand this from Noctis' posts.

You gotta love when Yoshi P comes in and confirms what you've been saying. Hopefully he'll do a better job than me in helping you guys realize it isn't in fact a gil cut.
