I'm not sure why you had to throw in the personal attack. I did enjoy the part where you quoted me, then chose to either ignore what it said, or interpreted it wrong.
Not a personal attack, an attack on your ideas, which are ultimately unfair and unworkable. Services and manufacturers exist for the customer, not vice versa.

At -5% there is still loss, so no automatic profit.
But there is still automatic money, regardless of whether the item is of any use or not.

If what you need is of no use to anyone, it will sit on the AH for a while until someone needs it, or you would be forced to NPC it. At least in FFXI you could Desynth items and get materials back.

No, you don't still get paid, because someone would still have to buy it.
So you feel it's better for the crafter to not get paid at all than to get at least something?

By your logic, and following in your personal attacks. I would pay $0.00 for you and anyone you ever cared about. Thus, you and those others are worthless.

If you still feel somethings worth is entirely up to the buyer, then you must agree that you are worthless, and stop posting on this forum forever.
No, because you are not the only customer in the market. My employer finds me valuable and pays me a good salary. That's what someone is willing to pay for my services.
