Wow... I thought I was playing Final Fantasy XIV not Monopoly XIV to be honest i'd rather do business with NPCs then other people because like you everyone who sells items for that high is greedy and because of your greed I have to stop leveling and having fun to farm for hours to make money. I dunno about you but I work 40+ hours a week I don't want to come home and work too aka "make money" I already do that, this game is suppose to be an escape not another F***ing job my goal isn't to get filthy stickin "fake" rich in a video its to explore and experience the content. Can't do that if all my gear costs a total of 1 million gil or requires a month of crafting and gathering. Let's not even talk about the repair system. Take your economics and shove it, I want the games economy to be fair and balanced not out to get me like reality is. Curious other then the obvious RMT's reason what are you gonna do with all that gil you have stashd away not doing anything?
