its when the prices are very similar you have a nice balance


of course those that dont craft or hate crafters will always want the balance tipped in favor of the cheapest gear possible(which is why alot of stuff just plain isnt for sale anymore)
that's the very reason i don't craft items to sell in wards anymore. i can make more gil off making and selling fleece and other materials than the items they make so i just don't make them. there's too many crafters in the game atm and with the sp increases they've added it will only continue to get worse as time goes on. they can keep making the gear and selling for a loss if they want, but i will just keep making the mats and selling them for more profit.
