Alright. I just wanted to put this out there:

I have made over 50 million gil through the marketboard this expansion without selling a single crafted or gathered item. With it, I have single-handedly bought my FC's new Large House and have begun furnishing it, have leveled my crafts some by buying the cheaper materials, and whatever else I damned well pleased with my cash.

I have not sold runs, or anything of the sort. I didn't even buy and resell items on the MB for a markup.

I made 50 mil this expansion through the marketboards without using my DoL or DoH and without spending more than 30 minutes a day actively preparing my supply and sales. That is, I spent an average of 30 minutes every day since early access preparing my sales, which has netted me this amount of profit.

To all of you complaining about these prices: what's your excuse, now? If I can do all this, then so can you. You have no leg to stand on.

THAT SAID, I do agree with one thing here: Overmelds shouldn't be required to 100% items 100% of the time if you have sufficient cross-class skills for DoH classes. Overmelds should definitely never be required to meet the stat requirements needed to even start an attempt at crafting any of the upcoming 60* items, like they were for the level 50*, 50**, 50*** (etc.) stuff. I stopped bothering with crafting once overmelds became a requirement at 50, and I will do the same at 60 if overmelds continue to be a requirement.
