I understand what you're saying but...
...Zyrusticae suggested that if people were so worried about the economy that SE simply reduce everyone's Gil by 90% or so, I responded that they are doing this. Whether or not the purchasing power remains the same is irrelevant - I actually disagree that it's completely the same, because there are way more Gil sinks in ARR than 1.0 - they are indeed slashing player's Gil by 90%, therefore, yes, they are doing that.
I don't see any reference to a wealth tax here? Just a suggestion that player's Gil value be cut by 90%. Either way, my eagerness to continue this discussion isn't as great as your apparent eagerness to demonstrate how I'm somehow wrong about this, so I'm done for now.

If they're really that concerned about the economy or somesuch they can just cut everyone's current gil by 90% or whatever value would make people happiest, but splitting the community like this is... frankly, sickening. It shouldn't be happening.
Not just here, mind you, but across the entire community there's talk of people splitting up and going one way or the other, and that should never happen. There are so many games out there that never do an economy reset or open new servers, so why is it such a big deal here? It's incredibly frustrating.Â
I feel like this whole "legacy vs. non-legacy" junk is going to do a lot more harm than good.
