(Diabalos) Crafting exploit?

[YuriRamona]

How does any of this explain selling multiple items for 555,555 when the mats cost 600k+ and the only history for the items have them selling for 1m+? He instantly posted items for every recipe he could make and, on the same day he hit 50 GSM according to his Lodestone, posted these dramatically underpriced items for every GSM recipe.

I'm a little baffled by some people here trying to explain this away. If you know anything about the games crafting system, you'd know it's almost impossible to come up with the mats he did so quickly (especially with no history of buying subcomponents) and any type of "guild" crafting idea again makes no sense considering how under-leveled his other crafting professions are.

RMT like this is going to destroy any type of crafting market that still exists if something doesn't get done.

You missed the quote from my post.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Believe it or not, some people in this world are not very good at even this most basic math or calculating profits.

The following two lines are possible explanations, if stupidity alone is not the explanation. (Server transfer or failure to examine market history)

In any case, server transfer is the legitimate excuse for not having sub-ingredient history. On the other hand, you know, there's this thing called "trading system" and "buying directly from the vendor".

Or, like previous posts have suggested, it is an alternate to a main character with the savings to fund this. Yes, his lack of sub-crafts (particularly CRP 50) makes it dubious that he can reliably HQ. Possible explanation: he buys or makes HQ sub-ingredients (with half a quality bar, even a monkey could HQ a synthesis).

Yes it would have made more sense to sell the sub-ingredients directly on the market (prevailing price is 30-35k each). Not everyone realizes this.

With the examples you've given, the pricing is fair. No one cares about pricing on NQ because NQ is practically worthless. Gryphon boots and pants cost <300k to make, so 555k is an OK price. The only exception is the Vanya pants. Here's another explanation: a [stupid] mistake.
