When someone tries to ruin the Market board...

Bothering to craft should have some payoff. Why make things to sell if all you're doing is wasting time turning mats into items , then into gil, then back into the same amount of mats?

Because... you have fun? If you're not playing a game for some degree of intrinsic fun that's really not a good game. I don't play XIV because I'm sitting there trying to control the market board and get as much gil, but because I just find it enjoyable. That's why I craft and gather. It's a nice change of pace.

Far be it from me to yuck someone elses yum, but I'm comfortable saying that most players are looking for some sort of progression. Now whether it be monetary or item level or just collecting stuff, that's subjective, but most of the people who play this game aren't logging in JUST to process materials for other players.

Personally since they've reworked crafting I don't find any sort of entertainment value in something I can guarantee with the right macro.

Nobody NEEDS to make a killing off a sale, but as a lot of crafters also aspire to amass money to fund further crafting or just to have.. there's nothing bad about not wanting to craft for no profit margin.

I never said they needed to craft though. If they are only interested in crafting for profit then they should probably move on to something else.
