Low level market seems to be dead

[Kallera]

Confirmed with Disciple of the Hand lead

Currently there are no plans to add any new low/mid level crafting recipes.
We designed FFXIV so that gear obtained from dungeons is more effective than crafted items.

For their first class, players can gain equipment from the main quests so we don't think they should face any problems. But we believe there are other chances to use low-level gear, such as creating materia or equipping them when leveling a second class.

A casual reminder to any of our new players logging in: don't be a "problem", grind dungeons and dailies. The same ones again and again and again....

Though I don't expect many will be reading the forums, I guess it would be a service to let them know exactly how the game is supposed to be played. /sarcasm
