When I used to dump 100 items for cheap they sold within a few hours max. Does not destroy anything and only effected a few items. Market resets after the dump. I made an easy million or two and business as usual after that. Everyone wins (especially me).



Dude, those Louisoix bots are also on Moogle. I see them in groups..underground..killing enemies ON the ground. SE surely must be able to monitor this. It's obvious they don't care. Same shit in FFXI man. FFXI was/is a bot fest. SE cares only about their RP fantasy, not any market/economy/crafters. How much proof does everyone need SE doesn't care?" SE reminds me of that Iraqi general claiming there were no Americans in Baghdad in 2003 because the Iraqi army crushed them all....Yeah...no..sorry SE.
And when everyone thinks like that? Have you bothered comparing now and then prices on some of the items? Take 2 of the absolute worst, Alexander Miniature and Stuffed Alpha. They used to sell for 100K and above. These days you get them so cheap it's actually way better to de-synthesize them. All because everyone thinks 200 gil is better than nothing.- Well, it isn't, it destroys the market, and it's way better, for everyone to vendor them, to show SE that this isn't the way to do things. I post them for 5k or de-synthesize. Hell, there's even things selling on the MB that will fetch much higher prices if you vendor them, especially different parts of houses. I think the reason I earn as much as I do, in this crappy market, is because I take fair prices, and sooner or later that item will be the cheapest to buy. The market has gotten back, a little, and some items actually sell pretty well, at almost old prices.
