Get rid of arrows? *hide*

Whether or not you believe they are inflated is not particularly relevant. Could the prices be lower? Sure, but then you'd have less players who felt it was worth their time to go gather those mats and sell them, so the remaining sellers would be frequently sold out... at which point prices would go back up, etc.

Now, you might mean that you could go out and gather these mats yourself for synthing. I hope that's not what you mean, because (in the most basic sense of economics) it doesn't matter whether you gather them yourself, or you buy them in the wards, or a friend gives them to you... at the end of the day, if you craft 99 arrow synths, you are using items that you could have sold on the AH for ~1.4m. Opportunity cost exists.

That's right, you can farm anything you'd like for the same amount to buy those arrows that's how a market works! Congratulations!

Your missing the point. What encouragement is there for people to craft those arrows if they are going to be a loss of profit? And for people saying you can simply gather the mats needed to make the arrows, those players will be loosing a profit to be gained in order to play the class [which is essentially the same as purchasing the arrows yourself + hours of gathering.] So its a problem and the point still stands, ARC is a gil sink no matter which way you approach it.

Most people I know who are selling arrows are grinding EXP off of them and selling them is just a bonus.
There are much better ways to make Gil. (and you don't need a high level craft to do it)

Yeah your right, all I'm saying is that when playing ARC your "cost of living" is much higher.

It's the price you pay for doing good damage from a safe distance.
