Why does this happen? Someone enlighten me pls!

I could see some people just wanting to be helpful to new players but. I guess I'm concerned for people like gatherers and stuff. I know this stuff is being actually bought at the vendor price. It's not like it's so cheap cause it's not selling. Just check the log on market board and you'll see that dozens of stacks of items are being bought so cheap.

If you check my character, you'll see I have no gathering skills atm, so I'm more asking for the sake of the community.

Do you all agree that all these "helpful" people are hurting as well?

If it were me, I'd rather just vendor something then try to sell it on market board for vendor price. First off, there is so much competition to even sell it that cheap that mine may not even sell! Also, I feel that, if I had to do something to obtain something, someone desiring it for free is kind of being lazy. Even if obtaining it was easy for me, I still feel like someone should either: A) be someone I know or care about or B) offer me something for my time.

Am I just being selfish? If so, will you give me your stuffs? I wants!
