Visiting other worlds, economy effect?

What are your thoughts? Do you think this will be good for small servers? Big servers? All servers??? What are your plans?

While people could potentially swap to a cheap server and buy things, people from the server that had their cheap items bought up can also do this. It sounds like it should balance out the game's economy as a whole. Players on lower populations have the option to got to a high population server and buy up large quantities of items that possibly aren't being supplied on their server.

I'm kind of looking forward to this change. On Cactuar, there's this FC that has a pretty firm grip on the potion market and sells them dirt cheap. Person gathers ~20 hours a day. People will eventually buy out all of their pots and possibly force the potion prices to raise because others are able to break into the market. Or they'll somehow keep up with demand and utterly crash potions across the Aether data center. Either way, it's something I'm very interested in seeing how it plays out.

I noticed that one of the highest ranked FCs among all the servers currently is on Gilgamesh and it's just a team of four ALC bots (They were originally top but now a FC on Zeromus with even more ALC bots overtook them, which also rules out the "Bots aren't an issue on JP servers" belief for why SE never seems to do anything about them).

We're going to be on the same data center, so our resident infusion spammers are going to potentially have a lot of competition it seems, though whether that's for better or worse indeed remains to be seen.

ah then the disagreement is what each of us think reasonable price is. which is completely fair.

now i will say when i say normalize i don't mean high or low price wise i just mean stable. cause once again whats a fair price is different to everyone.

My personal definition of a reasonable price is "Equal to or greater then the current value of the mats needed to make the item".

A single aethersand costs more then what three infusions are going for on my server and this has mostly held true for as long the infusion spammers have been active on my server
