    This makes the buyers happy not the seller. Let me explain why.

    For crafting there has to be incentive. The incentive is to earn gil. Selling for profit is why we sell, so saying prices are overpriced in certain server doesnt mean they have to be underpriced. Its how economy works. Supply and demand.

    Merging all the servers now just increased the supply, the demand remained same. Sm1 who can pay 8mil for a dress can also pay 20mil just means they will save up the gil during the dead times of the patches.

    Increasing all the crafter by merging is limiting gil earning for crafters. Sure, you guys will never run out of supply since you have more options aka more supply in cross world but it definitely is hurting the crafters. There is no reason to sympathise the buyers. I made this from a sellers prospective and as stated in the post, i wanted what the other crafters thinks. Idc about the buyers and niether should you as a craftter. Thats how business works. I know someone will call me selfish soon but its the truth.

    Yeah.. you know that that's supposed to be a balanced thing right? Each side pulling their way until a compromise is reached which becomes the market accepted price.

    ... But someone else who never had 20 mil will now buy the dress, so you'll be getting their money. You just will be making less per transaction.

    I.. think you don't understand how business works. Without your customers you don't have any profit, you should probably care a little if they're happy or not.

    I think they need to combine all the linked worlds into one marketboard, which would make it clear what others were selling for, and let you set your prices accordingly.
    Also, it would eliminate the need to world hop while price shopping, saving time, and likely extra server load handling the hops.
