Thread: Cap gil going into 2.0

There's already a gil cap of 99 mil. No one character can enter with more.

With that in mind there should be a limit of say.. 10million per account (100 million currently) that should be allowed to transfer over. This hard cap would bleed out a lot of pointless gil gained from abusers of the Atomos event.

current cap on gil is 999mil which will be reduced to 99mil in 2.0

And screw over all the people who made their gil legitimately? I'm sure that's going to go over well with them.

and why just stop at reducing the gap between the rich and poor in gil? why not reduce the gap between players who have lots of good gears and who just have normal gear! let's delete all melded gears in 2.0! hell, delete all materias so everyone will have to start fresh on even ground!!

Any legitimate earner of gil wouldn't have to worry that much about this, only people who abused the Atomos event.

err, I have made over 100mil on my account before atomos with crafting and gathering, and that's including a 5 months long break, try again?

no gap at all rich will still be rich poor will still be poor at 1 digit lower and gear has noting to do with it because melded gear is not the only good gear currently in the game go out and farm dungeons til you are blue in the face and get all teh darklight gear you possibly can unless of course your just not skilled enough to do so...

I say give it time, these people will burn their "exploited" gil by trying to double and triple meld stuff and everything will balance out... just give it time for the economy to balance up again.
