The taxes when buying or selling are negligible...

Again, if you are considering "the tax" when you are buying or selling items in the markets, you are doing it wrong, LOL...

You have no idea about how this will work, that's for certain...

Again, how much gil trades hands between you and an NPC? Answer, very miniscule compared to the amount of gil that is traded among the player base. Reducing gil it costs to purchases items from an NPC and reducing the amount of gil you gain from selling items to an NPC IS NEGLIGIBLE IN THE LONG RUN. You my friend are an idiot if you can't comprehend this.

- - - Updated - - -

What an NPC buys or sells items for or how much gil you receive from quests ( i can only guess this is what you meant when you made the sweeping generalization of "how much gil you receive in general from all sources") has little impact on the FFXIV economy. The vast mojority of gil is made through the markets by selling items from one player to another. If your main source of income is by completing quests or NPC'ing items, you are doing it wrong. If you are doing it wrong, then your comment is correct. But again, if this is your main soure of gil generation, you are really doing it wrong...

Funny, I must have missed the update that allowed players to magically generate gil out of thin air while simultaneously removing taxes and all other gil sinks.

Did they recently send out Beta invites? Found one in my spam folder, so not sure if it's legit or not. Gonna have to find the website it's linking me to without resorting to clicking it.

Edit: Huh. So it was legit.

Sweet~

Ugh ffs you really are dense you know that?

You'd be right *only* if it was just NPC pricing, but it's also what items can be sold to NPCs for AND how much gil you receive in general from all sources - the effective generation of gil has been cut 90%. Is it sinking in now? WE LITERALLY CAN NOT GENERATE AS MUCH GIL AS BEFORE, WHICH MEANS GIL SINKS WILL BE THAT MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE!

Jesus fucking Christ...

Re: Letter from the Producer Live VI - Q&A Answers

But that's also very much irrelevant because prices are also supposed to get adjusted to match that reduction.

Not this shit again... NPC pricing is adjusted... How many items do you buy from an NPC??? The economy in FFXIV is not between player and NPC its between player and player. The reduction in gil will start the economy off with pricing reduced and on a smaller scale, but once the game's been out for a while and players have begin to amass gil, pricing will eventually be back to where it once was.

Re: Letter from the Producer Live VI - Q&A Answers

NO. It's symantecs, but what you are saying is not correct. if you had 1 million and "they are reducing gil by 10%" you would lose 10% of your gil. If you had 1 mil, 10% of your gil would be 100k, so reducing your gil BY 10% would reduce it to 900k. They are reducing a players gil to 10% of the amount they had.

Yeah that thing.^

They aren't reducing our gil by 10% they are reducing it to 10% of our current value. Not sure if that's what you meant, but....

Aren't they reducing the gil we have on-hand by 10%?

Yes. And with certain other game mechanics, I'm quite sure those with millions are going to blow through it without noticing, but can't discuss that right now due to NDA.
