    This market is a flash in the pan. It will die quickly enough by itself.

    Most of you here think that selling these Eternal Bond plans is an infinite and reliable way of getting gils. It's not.

    This market completly falls under the supply and demand rule.
    Don't forget that or your short views on the matter will remain flawed.

    Yes, I understand that, for some people, this is still a problem. But it's not -that- big of a deal regarding long term economy.

    [...].
    To back up Fyce's post, all shop items also fall under the Diffusion of Innovations. Right now we have Innovators and Early Adopters purchasing the luxury items and services at high prices. These people have the liquidity to do so. Once the Majority starts purchasing these products and services, there will be more sellers, and prices will drop from competition from sellers. Once the Laggards purchase these items and services, the prices will be low due to lack of demand.

    Now keep this in mind, the Majority is NOT the rest of the server. The Majority is the majority of the target audience to whom would be interested in the service or item. That target audience will be an X percent of a Y percent of the total population on a server.

    If you want more information on the Diffusion of Innovations, here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations
