    Will the IGE holiday sale happen again (dec)

    Ok, for anyone with a bad memory, last year's december gil sellers cut their prices causing people to buy an insane amount of gil. AH prices rose insanely high for 2-4 months and it was an absolute bitch to level anything under 50 at this point. On my server a Monster signa was worth 1.7 mill and being mass camped by players, not so much gil sellers. Morion Tanthlum was 150-200k so Morion worm saw those packet sniffers again. HNMs had it fairly bad too. King Arthro, Serket, for 2 of the "lesser" HNMs saw alot of activity, as everyone who didn't buy gil was poor and needed a buck. Scorpion Harnesses were anywhere over 6 million gil, and I do remember selling my Vermillion cloak for 9.5 million gil in January.

    Point is, will history repeat itself, and we can kiss these nice prices good bye? My server everything's affordable, hell snipers are a mill, SH are 2 mill, Vermy, 3 million. Pluto staves are 1.1 mill, the economy's stable for rich and poor. Will it end this december (again)?

    Wow, your server had it easy. Verms were like 20 on bahamut. 50s for haub +1, 16ish for nq SH.

    But this year I'm not so sure. SE's been owning a lot of gil holding accounts and such, the delivery box nerf bottlenecks distribution big time. Etc.

    I would say no. There was some gil dupping last years iirc (didnt SE had two maintenance for that?), and there was already some serious inflation going on during the whole year. Gilseller bank also got busted a couple of times, so they probably dont have as much money avaible.

    SE pretty much nerfed every way to make money from vendor, so there is almost no money getting in the economy


    There might be some inflation, but I doubt it will be anything major.

    I hardly doubt that we'll see the economy balloon up as much as it did last year.

    It wont happen again. Gil duping isnt a huge problem and even if it happened again SE has safeguards in place to prevent it from becoming a problem. This economy wont get that bad again, ever.

    all this imho btw

    Well, more than likely it will never be on the same scale as it was for 04 & 05, but the real question is will it create a problem?

    Another reason last christmas was a shocker, is because it got everyone by surprise. Everyone is expecting it now so it's not going to be anywhere near as harsh as before.

    RMT crews are definitely hoarding cash/items. If IGE goes on a christmas spree, I expect a whole shitload of gil that is locked up on RMT accounts to flood the market. But it won't last because the overall supply is way down from last year.

    Also, I think a lot of people are bracing for a flood and thus there will be a lot less fools subscribing to the greater fool theory

    After browsing that link, it's no longer a surprise why aurik is such a rich son of a bitch.

    Yet every other month or so we hear "1000+ accounts blown up"

    Those are more then likely those hoarding mules.

    In otherwords he sold his gear, made alot of gil, didn't know when to stop buying/selling, and economics nearly took it all back.

    If it doesn't happen and the economy normalizes, your money will be worth that much more.
    Numbers don't mean shit when you can't get much for your Gil.
