My grip with this games pathetic inventory system for gear that I really do not want to spend hours upon ours going out to reobtain...
But you would be if you're hoarding a ton of materials instead of selling them. You = general populace. Anyone who is hoarding materials with this game's constrained inventory system is doing themselves a disservice. I'm not saying that inventory couldn't be better. I'm talking about playing within the existing constraints.

Who does that? It isn't worth the time it takes to go to a different market board to avoid the tax unless you're spending millions of gil on something.
