I don't understand it, I just do not understand it!

Nice attempt but since neither would support such a capitalist method of selling product you'll have to try again.

Yes, I might enter a market at 25% below if I thought I could make enough sales to maintain whatever profit margins i wanted. If you can't compete at that level then leave the market or adapt.

But I do compete, I make millions on the market. A day I don't make more than 1 million gil is a day wasted in my opinion. I'm not sure why you guys even bother crafting, if it isn't to make as much gil as possible.

I craft because I enjoy crafting. It's fun to make things for myself, and to make things for others who can use the items but aren't interested in crafting themselves or haven't leveled crafting sufficiently. The small profits still add up over time. My expenses get covered and I have some gil leftover for other things I might want that I can't (or are too lazy to) provide for myself.

Again, you need to understand that what motivates you is not what motivates others nor does it need to be. Not everyone cares about wealth accumulation in a game where excess wealth has no value because there's nothing for the player to buy with it.

Whether you like it or not, you will be competing in the markets against a variety of sellers with motivations different from your own. That means you need to be ready to adapt to how the market changes as sellers come and go. If you feel like new sellers entering the market are cutting the profit margin down below what you feel is acceptable to you, then you need to find new things to sell.
