Defilberating the Dead Horse

[Alysrea]

It also takes time to play the market, gather the mats, sell while ppl keep undercutting you. You may say that Bustier is great money, but it hardly sells, everything else is at best 200-300k profit on Moogle

Are gatherers not also subject to having to play the market?, do they not get under cut when they post materials to sell?, I'm not trying to claim that Bustier is "great money", I'm just comparing time investment vs profitability using the item you brought up as the example to work with in discussion.

I do appreciate that you are trying to make sure both sides are represented fairly though, It is very easy to have the perspective that one side has it easier and I don't mean to diminish the effort that crafters put in by any means.
