So much ignorance in this thread. I spent about 100 million leveling all of my crafts to 60 during the first week because people decided mats were worth 50k each. Who collected those mats to sell? Combat classes and gatherers. Same people complain about Thavnairian Bustier selling for 10 million and how RMT is absolutely required to be able to afford them. Meanwhile, the silk to make the bustier sits on the MB for 3 million each and the bustier requires 3 silk, not counting the rest of the mats - you do the math. Who sells those silks again? Oh right, combat classes and gatherers. But no, crafters must be greedy, evil hoarders out to rob everyone of their hard-earned gil.
