Please Squeenix, implement blind bids on the markets...

Now reverse price and quantity and you have whats happening in game.

Really, everyone pointing out that its just S&D is as wrong as everyone saying they're getting anything for free by doing it themselves.

You, sir, are the one that is mistaken. If there is no value in someone listing the item for 1 gil, then they will not list it. Someone is making a profit, directly or otherwise, and your failure to comprehend the nature of their actions does not make supply and demand any less valid.

If anything, you all should be elated that this is happening. If the price of everything drops, maybe players will stop buying gil and RMT will go away. I mean, why would someone in the market of selling gil for real world currency be trying to DROP the prices in game? That is counter-productive. I think you need to rethink who is actually listing this stuff for 1 gil.

I think that, out of pure spite, I'll start selling all my philosophy tomestone purchases for 10K a pop... 40-50K below market price. Just to troll. I'll still be making a profit anyways. Added effect: watching the world burn. I mean, I gotta be true to my namesake and all.
