    Mass Deflation Hitting my Server HARD

    Economy crashing basically because houses cost too much, everyone's producing, gathering and selling while no one is buying. I don't even want or care about a house - but I am seeing the nasty side effects first hand. Droprates of key crafting items like diremite web, leathers and fleece have been increased to make things worse. Those players (and bots) no longer have their primary money making strategy and are moving into other gil making methods - making things for crafters harder.

    Shards and crystals are the lowest I've seen in my 2 months online (thanks bots and RMT buyers!) Add also that prices being so low enable a player to more easily "buy" their way through a DoH lvl 50 and then we have more idiots (myself included) overproducing and further devalueing things. I do suppose that currency deflation may have been the developers intention, but I highly doubt this degree of deflation was their goal.

    It's rampant on all servers. I'm seeing astral rings for 75-80k peacock ore 5k....it's only going to get worse.

    Soon, the best solution will be to find your best value item to mass produce/gather and sell it to NPCs for profit.....

    Or treasure maps, hoping for that 10 million gil minion.

    This is not caused by the housing effect, which is the concern of OP/this thread.
    2 stars items' pricing is dropping because the change of recipe; tomestone material drops because it's easy to obtain in 2.1.

    I like the fact prices are dropping...they are slowly appearing more reasonable now.

    The disparity between the materials and the crafted item however, not so much.

    I don't think this has to do with housing very much, honestly. It's mostly a combination of:

    1) Gear-wise there is nothing interesting to buy, everything is handled to you with CT, Coil or Tomes
    2) Speaking of tomes, they drop like free candies now, so Vanya items and tome items completely lost value
    3) Most ppl already levelled crafting pre-2.1 when there was nothing to do, so less people looking for items

    quest item for DoH's price drop a little but mass produced items
    for triple leve turn-in dropped like 50% profit from pre 2.1 (and not seem selling).

    this is too bad.

    solution: stop crafting except what you or your FC needs. Stop gathering except for what you or your FC needs. Get off the marketboards.

    If you need gil, start farming combat events for it.

    The marketplace has gone toxic with an oversupply of stuff with no demand for it. You are not going to afford FC housing by playing the boards for the chump change you find scraping the scum off the sides in the tanked economy that Yoshi engineered.

    The marketboards are not a gil faucet, combat is. Combat classes get their gear off vendors and bosses, not you. The only thing that the marketboards do is circulate money between them and the taxes turn it into a perpetual gil sink.

    Philo mats are going between 3-5K and 2 star crafted about 60-80K. I honestly don't know how to make money anymore.
