Extreme Undercutting - Should it be a violation?

Because I can? Because I don't particularly care for crafting? Because I can?(Wait...I said that twice).

Then why did you level crafting somewhat and have max level Miner? Are you telling me you started the game and was like "Oh ill gather to get maps"? how did you know about them?

Friends? FC? People out in the world talking and asked a question? Take your pick.

Only way to fix the market on every other server that isn't balmung/gilga, is to make it data-center crossed.

Balmung still has problems, and it comes from with how the game is designed. It is not built to have a healthy economy in mind, 1.0 did this better in the view people needed and wanted to trade more, communicating and having other players repair other's gear for respectable reasons to do so. The problem is this, for the battle content, too much is "free" and hand me items. People rather farm hours on end for a drop vs doing 10-30 mins of crafting/gathering and selling it for the gil equivalent for the same item (or same ilevel) Meaning crafting to make battle gear is a VERY small demand. Even on balmung most of your money comes from selling leve items, selling gather gear, then comes selling crafter gear (since the first 2 can be done with those who do not craft, thus a higher demand for those 2) For the most part the leve item turn ins and gather gear sell for MUCH MORE then items that are purely used for battle/leveling up and crafter gear (since crafters can and do make their own crafter gear for most part)

Then you have to add in the factor gil has little point in this game to motivate crafting, it is not uncommon to see solo sellers of an item even on balmung. in 3.4 where the 250 gear was 1-2 M for a long time, it was 1 -3 people per item. In 4.05 crafted gear, stuff sold for every little because 320 gear was out for a while (weapons and the right side) and delta normal to have hands, head, feet covered. So the only thing that was in somewhat demand was legs/body and even those dropped in price very quickly. Oh and glam gear is somewhere in the mix, like when SB first came out, the mats for the RDM moogle sword/SAM skyrocketed and stay high for a bit.

If they do cross servers, the spam undercutting prob just be worse due to having more crafters (that are willing to make things) with the same little demand.
