Such a situation was particularly notorious in FFXI, such as the old beastmen blood affair - leeches would drop said item which players discovered could be sold in bulk for a large return to npc stores, hence players would overcamp low level leeches (mostly on the beaches in the level 10-20ish area Biburiumu Peninsula) - it got ridiculous by one stage. In the end SE solved it by greatly reducing the resale amount for junk items, much like what FFXIV now has.
