How do you go from selling something for 8k to 500g in less than 12 hours when crafters are still selling their items for a million? What is the point of you gathering all this stuff to sell it for 500g? Why don’t you just do a roulette?

This applies to everything basically. Stupid people ruin stuff
Definitely not a BTN only thing. The geniuses who undercut each other in steps of 10-500k have already managed to drive the prices of Exarchic gear down to 1.2mil-900k and some pieces even less.
Good thing I didn't even try to sell any of it this time, you're only ever going to be disappointed.
I was wondering the same regarding prices of some of the exarchic items yesterday. On a couple items there was several listings for around 2.5 million, and one or two sales at that price as well. Then someone listed those items for 1.6 million. Can't fathom why they would undercut by that much. The usual seems to be around 10-50k which I find reasonable for this stage; there wasn't that many crafters selling things yesterday and I think many of them were focusing on crafting rather than constantly updating prices.
They're Botanists
Honestly FFXIV economy is beyond my understanding. Like a few days before the patch i was like "let's make some quick gil" and sold 200 Savage Aim VIII materia for 21k gil each for a total of 4mil in a day. Now after the patch dropped, they price for the same materia is below 10k and i am like wut? I understand people want to undercut, but that's beyond ridiculous.
supply & demand
If there is a ton of supply and everyone wants to sell stock, prices are going to plummet. Economics isn't some kind of fair game, idk how this community can't grasp its head around that.
Also, yes, bots. This isn't anyone being stupid, it's just a market crash. That happens.
(also lmao to anyone who ever complains about undercutting. Start playing smarter, not greedier.)
