Certain players of FFXIV need to knock it off with the gil prices.

Imagine being poor lmao

Idk, it's complaining by the sake of complaining. Supply and demand, as easy as that. Not sure what your proposal is. SE capping the prices for certain items?

[ZephyrMenodora]

If you really are patient maybe wait a few years and hope it is added to Moogle Tomes. I'm super cheap and just got Answers and parts of Dancing Mad I didn't feel like paying for lol.

[Jojoya]

The new orchestrations mainly to do with the new trial being on sale for well over 5-20mil.

Seriously? We really reached this far into this gil lunacy?

Its not even that worth it.

I've put up with this crap as gil in general steadily raised in anything to do with the market board for the past some years, but this needs to stop.

Next thing you'll know people will try to push this crap to 50 mill or 100mil one day in the far future for lets say a stupid mount, you know it, I know it, and they know it because they can't have enough gil.

They do it because there are players that will pay that much to get the items in the first couple of days of release. The prices will then start dropping as everyone else ignores the crazy prices, more players clear content and a larger supply reaches the market board.

Wait a few fews then prices will be down to a more reasonable range.

Scalpers in real life are hated.
Scalpers in a video game are just playing the game.

[Palladiamors]

Sell yours for cheaper then.

Anyone who has been in a selling war knows this is the answer. Give'em a month of gradually dropping prices as demand fades and it'll be dirt cheap.

[Kaurhz]

Literally has always been this way.

Some people are willing to pay a premium price for new items, and people will put them up for a premium price because they are new.

Price will settle and normalize after a few weeks at most.

Happens. Every. Single. Patch.

[Thurmnmurmn]

No I'm complaining about the eventual normalization of higher prices that keep going higher as the years goes on, its already affected older mounts & certain minions that had their prices adjusted.

Do that to orchestration rolls then its going to be at that range for the rest of this game's life.

So the market is determined by the player base.
The problem is that the further we go into expansions, the more gil everyone will have. Prices going up is but natural.

Let's put it this way, casuals who never farm for gil will still be richer now compared to before since they do a butt load more msq's.

[Kuroka]

Some ppl just dont give a F### and buy tons of gil to get new shiny stuff day one, no matter the price, thus only further inflate prices.
Then theres the scalpers that buy whole servers' stack and resell em for 5x as much...

I run a shop in real life and this happens all the time. To the point where I limit the main guy doing it so I can sell to the nerd herd cheaper.
