its gonna sound silly but did you try to sell the crystals in the crystaellier (i have no idea if i spelled that correctly lol) im also new but i havent had so much of an issue selling stuff just more or less trying to find new gear which seems to be the hardest thing now for me.. 10 days really isnt enough for a game such as FFXIV or even FFXI it really doesnt give you enough time to get the learning curve.. if it was any other mmo (RIFT WoW even Aion in some cases) its definitely enough time but not here id say if you like it other than the issue you are having keep at it and im sure you will enjoy yourself but dont base your decision just off of 10 days you wont have enough time to get a real feeling for the game
