I think the reason most people are so worked up on the current stack selling system is that they don't know how to make gils out of it by taking risk and selling break bulk. You can argue that it is improves the liquidity of the market thus increase the efficiency of the economy, and I agree with that. Make no mistake thinking that allowing players to buy individual pieces from a stack will change your trading outcome...good traders will always out trade you...despite the many proposed solutions to the market posted here and elsewhere.

Bad traders that blames everything else but themselves for their own failure will always find something else to complain about when they fail in the market.
