If SE is taking away my hard work...

Prices are skyrocketing as we get closer to the apocalypse. It's a combination of panic/demand/supply as people leave the game and try to be 'absolutely ready' for 2.0 (hint: no one will be). Now is a REALLY bad time to be buying, methinks.

[Coombah]

Gath's 2 gil is worth more than yours...

Masamune.

Just look at the server people, they're all in the same shell.

Edit: actually maybe not. Still please don't rise to obvious trolling.

[Denmo]

Masamune's the troll server now?

You know what, I had a huge rant about Perfection written out, and then I worked out who they were from Carby.

I've got no beef with that shell.

What stops them from doing it again?

"7. All gil currently held by players will be reduced to 1/10 of current values."

Wow, so people who worked for 999 million will get dropped to 99 million? Sound fair? You know how long it would take to farm that much money, how much work, time, concentration, focus, and effort? Too much to even fathom.

What's next? Take away my gear, my character, my levels? This is ridiculous. I can see if we all played with the new ps3 players, but we will be with the old players, who have more than enough money with no complaints.

Eventually all the prices will be back to how they were. This is what it is like in EVERY online game.

I have 0 crafts and 0 gathering professions. I literally have no income, I had a nice chunk saved, not spending money until 2.0 came out. I have been saving since day 1 of the announcement. I knew the game would be a waste of time to play. Now look at it? All my dedication, gone...

Square enix, if this happens and you follow through. Ill be very disappointed. I have buying and rebuying remade games from your company for decades and I plan on doing so for decades to come. If I lose all my hard work. I might have to move to mistwalker. Hironobu sakaguchi would never let something like this happen. He knows how a final fantasy game should be made.

If no one can afford things, I guarantee it'll lead to more people buying Gil from online stores.

Oh and btw...retarded ideas like this only affect the poor. It never hurts the rich.

Thank you for your time, and I hope the Devs read my plea.

Yoshi, you're a badass director but this is uncalled for.

Man up and tell the Devs you want that idea scrapped!

999 = 99. You don't lose anything, the economy will adjust properly after a short time of inflation. They made the value of gil higher and reduced the bigger number to smaller. I know you Spring and know how frustrating it can be but look at the facts the whole economy as a whole is dropping by 90%. That being the case means you lost 0 gil. Literally 2.0 gil is worth more than you 1.0 gil. The glass isn't half empty it is half full. :P

Lol not necessarily. :P Masamune is just very populated.

How do you know this? How do you know how difficult it will be to obtain gil? Why do people seem to forget what is currently going on now!

People are buying items are 3-4 times their original worth now, with inflation going up now. Nothing balanced out, people earned more money as a whole and things went up.

So when we go into ARR with 10% of our currency and then an item begins to drop over 1-2 months to 1/10th, guess what? PEOPLE HAVE EARNED MONEY IN THAT TIME. Why are people so blind to see this?

If someone thinks an item is worth 3-4 times its value now, why will they not think the same in 2.0?

And if someone finds an easy way of making money, then it wont matter how much you cut down because eventually people will begin to get to where they was.

If you reduce everyone by 90% so they stuck with 10% of their current gil, but in 1 month they already triple that and back to 30% but the rate of which an item did not reduce to 1/10th IMMEDIATELY then it will only go to 1/3rd because the general wealth was increased to 30% over the time it balanced out, thus you have DIRECTLY LOST 20% of your gil, outright because the value of items DID NOT decrease to 1/10th immediately.

And you cant argue "Well SE said it will be harder to gain gil", come on thats SE talking, they failed on so many "unforeseen" areas such as PLing, Garuda BLM, Atomos that they have VERY LIKELY unforeseen gil loopholes in 2.0 and trust me, someone will find them.

You are all going to be losing money, you cannot deny that at all in any slightest because the whole economy will never go to 1/10th on day And Because people will not stop earning gil from day 1, an item will balance out at much higher rate.

Ya'll in denial thinking everythings going to smoothly go down as a whole, ya'll should be happy the amount of gil is being taken out the economy because we have way to much.

The only thing that people should take solace in is the fact that everyone is in the same boat, everyone is going to loose significant amount of their gil, but its for the greater good and all that.

Economics 101. There is actually going to be gil sinks at the launch of 2.0. More gil sinks than silly armor repair. Gil sinks that take millions of Gil out of the game instead of how it currently is just passing it player to player. Though that is still going to happen, and inflation is going to be rough at the start because people are going to try to sell things at current prices, I don't think it will work out too well because others who want to sell their crap will start undercutting and prices will drive down in short order. No Gil sinks = Money floating around. Though I won't get too far ahead of myself and say let's wait and see how things go.

I thought it was against the rules to predict stuff here? I am pretty sure there will be Gil sinks, just as I'm sure SE have thought about every little thing and avoided possible money making schemes.

None of what I said indicates that I will have the same value in 1.0 as it does in 2.0... that's why I used a variable, you do know what variables are, right? And you STILL don't understand that your hypothetical situation is not a factual argument, regardless of how accurate the math is in it.

Jesus lmao, I am not saying the situation is fact, I am saying the Math is fact.

The FACT: If item prices reduce only 1/5th of what they are now, you've lost a 4th of your gil, WEATHER THIS WILL HAPPEN OR NOT IS NOT FACT, THE AMOUNT LOST IS.

Please say you understand this, Nothing of what I am saying is saying what will happen is fact, my facts are the illustration of past events which HAVE happened, and that IF situation X Happens, THE FACT is you lost Y money on that situation. No where am I saying the situation will happen, I PREDICT it will happen.

Let me repeat...

IF the situation, where items do not reduce down to the same ratio of gil reduction, you are losing money. The situation MAY or MAY NOT happen, I never said that is fact. IF the situation occurs that items do not reduce to 1/10th ever, you have lost money.

Then why, may I ask, are you using such a prediction as a base argument for your whole perspective? We are ALL acting on predictions at the moment - why is it that YOUR prediction has to take priority over OURS?
