Please Squeenix, implement blind bids on the markets...

[Orsnoire]

The only thing that a blind system does is slow down the market's ability to respond to demand, resulting in a much slower turn around on sales and a less responsive supply side.

I know you think you want it, but it doesn't help anyone.

Edit: and for those who haven't taken Econ 101, and can't understand the why, ask yourself this question: if you're in the market to buy, say, a crafting ring, and the only price listed is out of your price range, do you buy the ring?

Answer: no.

Aggregate that over an entire market, where the price doesn't move for a week or more because the history only updates when something actually sells, and you should be able to see how the market adjusts far too slowly. Particularly in a game where the demand is changing on an hourly basis.
