Not being able to buy single items from a stack on the marketward.

[XenoZaixeno]

Eyeing his own coin purse and accounting for his rare loathing of doing anything in an MMO (except for EVE) that's actually...well MMO'y (except for EVE MMO'y), he makes his decision. See friends...Chris doesn't play Gladiator or Pugilist. Chris plays Retailer. He has a friend high up at Wal'than Mart'orzea and understands that he can buy Abe's goods at a huge per unit discount (Abe just wanted to sell sell sell) and repackage them to meet current market demand by offering single unit to low quantity unit listings at a per unit price higher than Abe, thus making himself a little money in the process. Does he care that it might take 19 of his 20 retainer slots? No. Because Chris' goods will fly (demand remember) off the shelves, freeing up room for more wheels and deals. That's how the Retailer class rolls.

TL;DR: Current system allows for a Wholesaler -> Retailer -> Consumer economy which I find fascinating, cool, and deep.

Why ask the devs to take time away from developing cool new content for us when simple player behavior changes will let everyone have their cake and craft it too? IMHO
