Undercut wars on chocobo dyeing fruits is LONG OVERDUE

[Kaethra]

Lacking brain cells is a good reason, no?

Why would you insult another player like that for? Who are you to judge what someone spends or doesn't spend their gil on?

I want lotus pink and nobody has found it yet. I'm going to wait and let the market calm down as once people have what's they want, demand will drop and so will the prices.

It was all one feeding session.
Here's my log, and my counts of new feathers.

wow, glad my FC doesn't suck....we've been growing fruit for our members since the stuff came out....sounds like some of you need to find better FC's. GL

Like how the OP says it's long overdue...what!? It just released! A total of 2 players in my FC have changed their choco colors, the rest of use are waiting while we stockpile so we know how to get the colors we want. The fruit on the market right now is very limited so obviously they would be absurdly overpriced. Give it time and the price will go down as the supply matches up with the demand. Eventually these fruits are going to be dirt cheap....

The problem is FC gardens are mostly controlled by officers and high-ranking members of FCs. That makes it for a shitty supply.

It's corporativism in it's purest form. The few are catering to the few, and lining up their pockets in the process.
It makes me wanna puke.

Fed up of seeing this kind of argument, my FC has garden access for everyone (except trial members). Get a better FC and stop assuming FC leaders are hogging all the FC functions for themselves, just because yours is. -eye roll-

Side note, Doman Plumes were 20k yesterday on my server, now down to a consistent 7k. Pointless, impatient OP.

We have a small FC and I'm the one that 'controls' the garden plot.

By that I mean I foot the cost of all the berries, soils (someone started helping me with these at least), and provide Chocobo food for free to everyone in the FC normally. As soon as this started I began to grow and sell things, helping to drop the market over time - the fc came to an informal agreement that it's FAR better to let me sell all the fruits we have now (as I looove to help kill market prices) and make as much as possible before it becomes worthless to sell them. They can wait for chocobo colors, we all can wait!

Most of the reason is most of this Gil goes directly into the FC via crafting and more; even to funding a bigger house and replanting the garden which IS NOT CHEAP. Sounds like bigger issue with people's FCs over anything else to me.

That sucks for people in an FC that doesn't want to help

I'm in a 45 man one, but the person that mainly did any gardening footed a lot of upfront costs of seeds and soils, then made all her money back and gave everyone different combinations of fruit to try to get them what they wanted.

Maybe if you get a bunch of your FC people together and ask the leader together to help they would be more inclined to listen to the mass as opposed to an individual? Idk. Apologies.

It's not that my fc doesn't want to help out our members. It's that we literally have 300+ active members right now. Even if we were to fill both plots with seeds, there's no way we would be able to cater to every single person's demands. So in my FC we've decided to forgo planting chocobo dyes for now until we can come up with a solution that is fair to everyone. And trust me, we're not hoarding anything. Since FC gardens were released, our policy hasn't changed. We've always grown stuff in the gardens to bolster our company coffers. This policy hadn't been an issue until SE started releasing things like thav onions etc that really should be in personal gardens instead of an FC garden. :/
