    I swear this choice, tired, lame defense is as piss-poor as the people who present it.

    And these whining, complaining, refuse to to anything myself and expect everyone else to give me everything because I don't want to do anything myself arguments are just as pathetic as the people who present it.

    Either pay what someone else is asking for the time they put into leveling their crafts or level your crafts yourself. Stop whining when the world doesn't bow to you.

    It's called price-gouging. Expecting (and getting) 75-100k from a Dodoskin Field Belt has much more to do with being greedy and opportunistic than it does effort put into crafting. When your cost to make is 3% of your asking price, that is the difference.

    It's called supply and demand. Basic principles of the market. This happens every second in real life.

    Just because a 3k item is priced at 75k, does not mean you need to buy it.

    But if you do, then I guess you needed it bad enough to justify the purchase. Thus, supply and demand. If you don't like the price don't buy it.

    No sir, it's called price-gouging. Definition of price-gouging.

    Again, if you disagree with what someone believes their products are worth, find someone else to craft it or make it yourself. You have all the tools necessary in this game to make it for yourself, what you pay for is not having to level your own crafts to do it.

    And btw, people charge for their time everywhere. It's called supply and demand. (You don't want to put the time in so you pay someone else for theirs.) Stop whining when people don't give you things for free because you deserve them just for being you.

    Tell that to Apple.

    People price items at what they believe the time/effort put into the craft to get to high enough to make the item is worth. If you disagree, find someone willing to sell it cheaper, or put the time in yourself.

    Supply and demand does not mean "I demand you supply me with what I want for what I want to pay".

    Naw, it's called people having too much gil and nothing to spend it on, so they're more apt to pay an inflated price just because it's there and they want it.
