Look at europe for example, due to years of a passive economy thanks to the free market the competitive went down and it screwed the whole EU as a whole. In a game basis, imagine if there was no competitivity on the market board, everything would still cost millions to buy rather than slowly dipping as the crafting material supply rises and demand drops.

Not every single competition is a player insulting the other, mainly when everyone on this game needs to be on the same level to tackle harder content.
