Atomos = Inflation...

[KizuBriko]

If this Atomos event doesn't end soon then the value of gil is going to drop to nothing. Touch of Rage/Savage Might/Heaven's Eye has shot up 700k-1m in price in the past 2 days... It doesn't stop there, almost everything has shot up a good 50% in value on the wards in the past 3 days.

Inflation is awesome isn't it?

I think it is more people with a lot of gil are spending it fast so they won't lose it in the cap in 2.0. But I am sure Atomos spam is also contributing.

No one is doing anything but the event right now and thats probably the biggest thing thats hurting the economy besides the other obvious factor. The weekends are normally the stockup time where everyones filling up the wards with their crap making it impossible to sell which isn't happening this week.

Case and point, every weekend for the past 5 weeks has had over 100 pairs of nq felt bracers going up on the wards by sunday on my server and right now there are 44, most of those are melded. That is the norm of what it is in the middle of the week.

You won't lose any gils... They just take your money and split by 10.

EX.
You have 356 000 000 --> You'll have 35 600 000
You have 54 000 000 --> You'll have 5 400 000
Otherwise people with less than 100 000 000 would be advantaged

Back to topic, I don't think that Atomos could ever have any influence on game economy. -.-

Your post is so off and shows so much unawareness. People are making pretty good gil off the event. More importantly, yes, the announcement about the gil cap has caused huge inflation. SE should of kept this a secret, but w/e.

I think the Atomos event really just triggered how much money exists in the game in the first place. Inflation has always been hidden due to insanely low demand.

We have no idea how Square dealt with the gil issue from the Atomos event because their communication and customer support just isn't any good.

No the problem is people spending seals to buy Dawn Drops to NPC. I'm really shocked something hasn't been done about it.

People are getting anywhere from 500k gil worth of seals per Atomos pop. Of course everything is going to raise in price when more people have gil.

"Anywhere from.." means you have to give a range of values instead of one

Atomos is having a huge influence on the high-end economy. For example the relic dbl-meld recipe tree. Heavens Eye has went from 2mil to 4mil, Sarnga dbl went from 29mil to 45mil. Market ward stock of all mats required diminished fast.

It is however, starting to recover, although prices are still too high.

Once people get there 500k seals achievement and their fill of gil from blood/dawn drops, should be back to normal. not seen anywhere that its going to end, event page has no start date.

LMAO, exactly what I was thinking. 500k is exaggerated by about 100k. As 4crystals is about 88k gil.
