    For now: This is nice. I only ever used the Al Zahbi AH to racketeer parchment and black ink when ToAU first hit. Lower taxes in Jeuno is a good thing.

    Once I start hanging out in Al Zahbi more: Those bastards!

    There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

      Hmm... back to encouraging people to shop in Jeuno again?

      I get this feeling that the mobs are just going to run past us...

          To combat inflation. Ideally, gil and items should be entering and leaving the economy at roughly the same rate.

            I've seen them running around unclaimed just randomly attacking people. Those are the ones that will keep heading towards the door until someone actually engages them, I guess.

            EDIT: With this change we might start seeing more servers losing their AC, even with 500+ defenders.

              So instead of using AH and paying taxes ppl /shout and trade high $ items. ex. mannequin crap. Get rid of the tax and I wont have to listen to some ppl /shoutin all the time in jueno. Also, i fail to see how its battleing inflation. If you want to battle inflation more effectively make more items rare/ex.

                There are a few ways the game can introduce gil into the economy. Beastman mobs, chests, coffers, NPCs ect... the taxes are the only way to remove some of that gil from circulation.

                    Re: Today's Update - Bazaar/AH Tax Changes

                    People don't sell mannequin parts on the AH because they can't. The AH is still the most convenient way to sell anything that can sell there, which is why even with the taxes, people use it. I fail to see ho making items rare/ex would create or destroy gil.

                    It's not the only way to remove gil. There are chocobo prices, airship rides, vendors, Dynamis, etc. The idea is to have a variety of gil sinks so that gil sinks in general are difficult to avoid completely.

                        Never said AH sold mannequin, was giving an example of stuff ppl try to sell by shouting

                        and makin items rare/ex keeps these gil buyers and sellers from getting items to sell way above what it should cost or without earning the items. Make the O Kote rare/ex so ppl who really need it can get it.
