Scrap the marketplace system please

Also there were listing fees and items expired after a week, so if you listed something very expensive and it didn't sell you'd be out a decent chunk of gil for nothing.

So wouldn't a list fee stop people from 1 gil undercutting and possibly stop people from putting expensive items up for absurd amounts (for example as a means of storing things they don't have room for). This sounds like a decent implementation. The 1 gil undercutting is quite idiotic and just encourages people to market board camp.

I'm surprised they haven't allowed you to place offers for particular items. Seeing that an item is in demand doesn't really help the seller if the price the customer is willing to pay is too low for you. Couldn't you have your retainer buy out certain items as they are put up on the board similar to how the retainer sells your items?

No it doesn't.

Crafted gear is meldable.

The best gear is crafted+meld.

Free markets work better overall to move gil around, Sorry that you can't be a gilhorder in ff14, tough luck.

Even if crafted gear were better than raid tier (which I'm pretty sure it isn't) it's not worth the absurd cost to get those over melds on ever piece. Tome gear is as good for significantly less.
