So who's ready for this?

Don't worry, the people who hate making profits will floor the profit on these items within 20 minutes like they did with PvP gear. So instead of going after glamours THE SECOND they come out, wait 20 minutes, it'll be like 1 - 40 gil in no time.

It's amazing how many people in this thread don't get basic economics.

If supply < demand prices go up.

This doesn't exist in FFXIV - If there's a surplus of items, prices are floored. If there's low supply and high demand, prices are floored to "sell first".

Basic Economics =/= FFXIV economics.

One thing SE could do to help draw out the possible profits on these and the other masterwork recipes for a bit longer would be to limit the amount of books you can acquire via a daily quest system, so not everyone has access to all recipes on day 1. It wouldn't keep the prices up much longer I don't think, but it could help, but if they did this, it would just spark more debates about content lockouts and how it would be going against the armory system since you can't do everything on every class day 1.
