reducing gil cap from 1b to 1m

[Momita]

same reason for the regional servers... SE wanna see this game dead ~~

[TheRac25]

this is probably a swipe at RMT but it really just hurts legit players

[Seig345]

I can understand if the principle of the outrage is the time spent earning the gil that's gonna disappear becoming a total waste... But I'm not seeing any other reason for this to be a problem... Assuming you can't hide your extra gil in a retainer named Swiss Bank, it's not like you're gonna suddenly find yourself having to buy gear priced at 250,000,000 a piece, and you're stuck with a measly 99,999,999... You currently can't price a single item at over the gil cap, you're not going to be able to price items at over 99,999,999 with the new gil cap...

Even if you could price things at over the cap, how's that gonna work if no one can have that much on them at one time? If it's just a matter of you don't know what to do with yourself after your sales have netted you the gil cap, then I'd call the game won and move on >_>

Lunch money makes sense in real life... I'm not so sure about FFXIV... I actually spend gil maybe once every other week while leveling up a class...

in the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part III Q&A Updates thread

Bayohne mentionned

Q: Will you wipe gil from our characters or change the currency with the launch of ARR?

A: No, there won't be a gil wipe. However, we do currently have plans to decrease the max digit by 1 (999,999,999 > 99,999,999)

so maybe its just the cap and not a % of the gils we have

So, what was wrong with the other thread on this same topic?

I'm pretty sure I made this one first? What difference does it make anyway?

Capping people at an amount of gil that's reasonably obtainable without cheating is stupid, they need to scrap this idea, it doesn't benefit anyone.

I just wonder how this is going to affect the housing prices. They said large areas of land will be hugely expensive - so how will this cost be resolved? Rent?

Let's hope it's not the same system as how they have the stalls set up, paying rent every 24 hours. And if you miss a day,

EVICTION!

I hope they permit to keep the money that exceed 100M in some sort of way (like equipment stored on retainers) anyway it would be one of the most unfair thing they could do.

EDIT:
Just thought about it... They will probably divide Gils of ALL people by 10. It won't make any difference in this way.
