The amount of terrible that is in this idea is outrageous. Before they put an end to House scalping Larges on busy servers like Balmung were being sold for 500+ M gil and many were being sold for hundreds of dollars IRL on Japanese and NA servers alike. As the US economy has proven, a true Free Market is not sustainable and will always be abused by the few at the detriment to the many. Thankfully, the Dev team would never never ever trust us with that power in our hands again and I say good riddance.
