Two Complaints from lower level players

[Maero]

I that the market board does have stupid crazy prices (people try to take advantage of others) but we were all new players at some point.
I for one for most of my classes just went with the gear you get from quests or dungeon drops.
Could always ask a crafter to make you gear if you know any

2Questing does not generate an income that can compete with the price gougers that are crafters at times

Sorry, I spent time and gil leveling and gearing my crafter. The things I make require materials and time. People exchange their gil for my materials and my time. The thing of it is, you can't sell items for a higher price than the market will bear. I check item history when listing things. If an item is selling for 10k, I'm going to list it for 10k; why would I list it for less, even if it's low level gear? That's just inviting someone to buy my item and relist it for a higher price. Honestly, most of the people paying 5-10k gil per piece for armor/weapons on the market are people that already have level 50's and are leveling up alts. Personally, I make my own gear to level in since I have all the DoH classes at 50. I also make gear for lower levels in my FC to help them level up faster.

Most people I know get their gear, in low levels, by the main/side/class quests. The rewards from such quests were also decent enough that you can buy gear from the NPC vendors too.

Exactly. The gear given in the quests is fine to level in. Dungeon drops are even better. I disagree with you saying that crafters are taking advantage, though. Newbies aren't the only section of the playerbase that buy low-level gear.
