Pretty much this, the major appeal to this patch (money making wise) was going to be an influx of craftable furniture. Things that skilled crafters can make with Ifrit Horns/Garuda Feather/Titan Heart/ADS Plate/ADS Frame. But with people not buying houses the TRUE want/need for these vanity items is moot. In 1.0 I could farm 20 mil easy by farming hides and selling shards. Now everyone farms hides and shards can only be obtained (let's face it they have 24 hours to farm vast amounts) by RMTs, crafting requires so many shards that even us 1.0 players with 9999+ shards have gone through our hoards and cannot reliably farm them to keep up, I can get probably 200 shards in an hour and blow through them in 15 minutes. Right now the only items that sell for "high" values are Food (because of the ridiculous shard costs and how many mats it takes just to make 1 item) and Philo items which will slowly become obsolete.
