The Current Economy

[Altena]

The redenomination isn't supposed to be an instant fix all for the economy. It also isn't a one time gil sink, nor is it supposed to be. Everything is redenominated, not just player wallets.

It merely reduces the overinflated gil values of everything in order to simplify things a bit and allow lower quantities of gil to have actual value. In other words, this does improve the economy in the long term, albeit in a different sense.

As far as the rest though, yeah. Gil sinks are important to keep driving an economy.

Well yes it doesn't change the value of the gil you own, I understand that, and welcome it etc. I just fear even after that happens, it will just allow those with capped gil in 1.x to start making gil again. It doesn't solve the issue of having more gil then people can spend, floating around on the server.

With the assumed influx of new and returning players, this will be needed more then ever - as more people with access to farming / generating gil = a lot more gil in circulation. Without a few very solid sinks, things will go pear shaped.
