Destroying Server Economies

[Anselmet]

I give it a few days and all the servers will be pretty equal. Balmung is gonna be notorious of being the server people go to to get cheap goods, but Balmung isn't going to be able to keep those prices low with the inflation of people coming in to buy their items. Small servers like Zalera will have to lower prices to keep people from going to Balmung to buy cheaper goods. It will equal out somewhere in the middle. And as someone who is an ex-Balmungian, one of the reason I went to a smaller server was to make money quickly. So really the people who are benefiting from this is Balmung crafters and buyers on other servers. On Balmung, my hq 380 gear will not cost 400k or less, and on a smaller server it will not cost me almost a million to buy the same thing. Why yes, boo, I can no longer abuse the smaller population servers to make money, but at the same time its good for crafters on Balmung to make money and help the overall populace have access to items. It will equal out somewhere in the middle and honestly will be a better capitalist model where there isn't just a handful of crafters who control the market and strangle players with ridiculous prices. It will also fix the inflation of goods Balmung has. How can this NOT be seen as good?

Damn right. The 90+ dusk leather I had on Balmung went from 80-120k a piece before are now selling easily for 400k a piece. I'm making out like a damn bandit.

Glad to hear it. Hell people bought up all of my hq crafter and gathering gear this morning and its been sitting there for a good two weeks. I'm pretty excited.
