reducing gil cap from 1b to 1m

[Ceol]

The rich dont stay rich by spending money. Why should I spend a gil when I can make everything, and +1 it for a fraction of the cost. Also spending huge amounts hurts other players because it causes the rate of inflation to increase. So really rich people horde because they care.

Inflation doesn't work like that, bud. You injecting a bunch of money into the economy doesn't all of the sudden make everyone poor. (If it even makes it back into the economy; what would probably happen is you spend 35m on the relic bow and it goes right in to some other player's wallet to sit forever. You would have to spread it out amongst lots of sellers to even have a noticeable effect.)

Rich people horde because they view their gil as a stat they need to max out. They're not martyrs who bear the burden of wealth on behalf of the poor or something equally ridiculous.

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.

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.

Maybe this was brought up but lazy to read the post. Anyone think to consider the overflow gil would go to npc just like gear overflow will. Ya I dont think SE will delete a bunch of gil. As much as I want them too.

I'm fine with this change. Screw the 1%!

You should invest all your money into warped arrows @ 2 gil a piece and then sell them all back @ 1 gil a piece after ARR. This way you only lose half of your money and not 90%

Where am I going to store many millions of arrows?

I was just giving one example of how to "game" the system. Obviously you cant store that many arrows lol

I get what their trying to do here, but it will fail.

You people are taking the wrong digit off. You take the rightmost digit not the left. You do this universally across all players, items, quests, etc and round up the right most digit, the change is negligible.

I.E. 7,399,321 gil becomes 739,932 gil. 111,297 gil becomes 11,129 gil; etc.

Of course why are they letting us keep any of this gil to begin with?
