Buying from vendors also sucks gil out of the economy faster than the markets ever could.

So, buying from vendors not only wastes your time, but also makes us all much more poor in the long run. GG.
No one cares about the economy if they can buy something for cheaper from a NPC than the AH. It forces crafters to sell for less than the NPC, which is completely retarded. High level gear in FFXI cost THOUSANDS of gil from the NPC and it was pretty much NEVER worth buying anything from NPC's past level 15.

No one is going to waste time HQing gear to spiritbind, takes far too much time. You'd be better off just NQing it and doing DD/castrum/dungeons in NQ stuff, actually ends up being less time spent than HQing and spirtbinding in that.
