RIP SPARKS!!!

First Niobium Ingot or Khoma Cloth you buy gonna sink 3 weeks of cash generated if you just can make 1M per week.

We gonna quickly go to severe deflation with this low amount.

at most, in a big picture players need to make as much as its sinked from NPC stuffs. Or just cut down those relic reforge mats, whats fine too.

If we can still use acco to make unity NMs then remember you could still use accolades this way to make gils.

Accolades are going to be capped too.

You don't know that for sure. They may stop the accumulation. It "says" exchange, but consider what happens.

Because if they don't, there will be a packet to bypass the cap.

Packet > Give me another Shield > bypass capped flag

There is certainly a server side control for accolade purchase though.

My silly program tries to buy more acc than i want, and the game gives me some message that i forgot already.

Its funny devs coding a message to tell you cant buy more items that your current accolades allow when this kind of action is impossible vanilla way (if you insert 100 prizes and you just can buy 10, its the NPC that tells you cant buy it iirc).

Finally the Quantitative Blinkering has ended, maybe the inflation will finally be under control.

Chocobo Blinkering put newly minted gil into the economy without putting any item into it. With more gil to buy the same quantity of product, price goes up and up. Everytime someone sell even just 1 chocobo blinker, everyone else is collectively poorer as their gil become less valuable.

People who made their gil from Dynamis farming or HMPs or Crafting or any of the other myriad ways to make gil, they are putting goods into the market. They are providing things for people to consumed and then they are rewarded for that.

If everybody only does all these other things that put items into the economy as their way to make gil, the game will go on like before, people will be able to get their food, their HMP for their Empy, their currency for Relic, their -1 Cursed Gears etcs. If, however, everyone only does cruor farming for gil, getting gil without providing anything back to the community, then we will end up with a situation where everyone have lots of gil and there is nothing to buy.

Seriously, can you imagine what it would be like if a real world economy get new money minted into it all the time? It's not like we have real example like in Zimbabwe or anything.....

Accolades will be capped at npc. You wont be able to exchange them for items, but it doesnt mean you cant use them to fight UNM. That would be silly.

It'd be silly if they didn't. UNM farming is an equally significant gil faucet; it's just less prevalent because dumping sparks is faster/easier.

They don't know where all the Gil in the game came from to begin with. All the Gil came from NPCs. Either a mob dropped it, a quest rewarded it, a mission. All the Gil was generated by an NPC of one type or another.

I'm sure they won't cap unity fights. That would be insane. Earning gil selling drops from fighting monsters is not the same making gil out of thin air at an npc.

This is true. It's just that inflation get's out of control if people can generate gil from npc's too quickly.

I dont think they will either, but I've played FFXI enough to know their spaghetti code is completely *** up, and may wind up blocking UNM fights due to caps.

I'm sure they won't cap unity fights. That would be insane. Earning gil selling drops from fighting monsters is not the same making gil out of thin air at an npc.

You can save high-value drops like oboro stones to sell on the AH, but the bulk of it you just vendor. Fresh gil, straight from the NPC.
