Controlling the Market

[Moomin]

Most of the time, RMT undercut prices.



I am not saying RMT is the "only" one undercut prices. I am saying RMT , most likely, don't try to corner market by buying up shards.

Sorry I should have clarified- they were RMTs unless lvl 1 characters usually have 60k+ worth of gold and are able to buy 500 shards / 200 crystals at once without even getting to lvl 20 for retainer.

I looked at the history of shards sold when this was happening because the prices were jumping from 7 gil to 60, sometimes 200 and I realized it was lvl 1 characters buying the low priced shards.

So yes, they are controlling the market.

EDIT: Emphasis on multiple lvl 1 characters doing this.

again, no one can control the market

if your stuff is selling, the market is not being controled
