We cant even sell in lower price thats why. As I said, the new dress in our server sold after 3 days of release whereas before we would sell a lot in first day. Now the players just go to a server that has the lowest price and buys from there and ofc since crafters increased, people also make custom orders by party finders and just crashes the market even more. Even undercutting doesnt work in my server. Takes way longer than it should.
As a crafter, if your production costs result in you making lesser profit or even a loss compared to competing crafters, it's time to exit that market and find something more profitable.

This happens in real life as well. Business who are unable to make profits to keep the business going have to shut down or accept lower profits. For example, Chinese manufacturing put a lot of global companies out of business or reduced their profit margins.

The market/buyers do not care about your production costs or profit margins when the items are all identical.
