P2W models are almost always self serving. That is to say if I buy a powerup that gives me better stats than a free user, that power up is going to snowball ME to be even stronger longterm. If people have teh ability to manage their retainer inventories and put stuff up on teh MB and then price modify at will (should they pay), the likely hood is that people will UNDERCUT other people. This means, broadly, that overtime, MB prices should drop a bit as people attempt to UC each other. Thats beneficial to the average MB buyer..
    Not really beneficial for the average mb user as actually the players that do a capital on hoarding WILL buy all the undercutted stocks until it run out & then flip it back to x3 the initial sale if not x5 just like irl wheres its becoming ridiculous nowadays.Many players do OR / do not know what an item is worth so that is right there what balance things out & so in the end poor ppl get more poor & rich ppl get richer, let me give you that example, say an item is used in a low level synth, its not worth much for a low lvl crafter, therefore they will sell it cheap because they dont care, they only gathered it for gathering xp or (first time discovery)... but on the other hand the high lvl crafter can use that for a higher lvl synth which on the final form = a lot of gils, so instead of going out there, waiting on a time node, he will just buy the cheap undercutted items, then synth the items he wants to without even gathering & then make a lot on your "average mb user".Point is, this brings it back at timing & the # of items you can hold in your possession, an item might not be worth anything atm, in 3months it might skyrocket.DM is completely deflecting the highlight of what I'm saying about his post even if he say I'm cherry picking, divinemight is not cherrypicking enough IMO because as I said, if you empty all retainers then possibiltys arnt the same,None can judge about glam items & sellable/unsellable #'s as its different for everyone, but just like that, I could go naked & have all my drawers empty to stock pile gold.
