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.

A good example would be int iv materia. If all of them were to disappear overnight, prices would stabalize around 1 mil, maybe 1.5 because of supply and demand. Its very easy to drive up the price in one area of the wards if you have the gil to do it Or buy out one section and reprice everything. Like when I bought out healers hand iv a few months ago, people were griping because there were none left and prices shot up to 600k per materia after.
