    XI's AH was far supperior to this one in terms of keeping the economy stable. In the history of mmos XI's ah had the most stable prices over a period of time, they fluctuated but only by like 5-10% over the course of a year (not counting the RMT christmas inflation). XIV what is 10k today will be selling for 1k when you wake up...

    XIV everyone undercuts everyone. The argument it is supply and demand does not apply to a mmo where people are just blindly undercutting with no knowledge of the market.

    IRL cost go down because there is no demand for the items. In XIV it goes down because someone is way to impatient to wait 1hr for it to sell at full value. So they undercut by 10% so the others selling have to do the same.
    IRL no one would undercut to the point of a net loss, in XIV half the items in 2.1 were selling for a net loss.

    No economy is perfect, but in all the mmos I played I have never seen a market as horribly volital as XIV is.

    Between end of beta and release I decided to checkout FF11 for old times sake and to get a bit of an FF MMO fix.
    At some point I recalled Leaping Boots are a thing. "Ok my login says I was last on 9 years ago. Surely leaping boots must be super cheap at the AH now!" ...

    nnnnnnnnnnnope
