But he has a valid point, there is too much bloat on the MB prices. I make sure to take plenty advantage of it while I can though..
Noble intentions nothing >_> I started that plan months ago when I started racking up on cheep materia with the sole intention of collapsing the market. I don't think 3 rank 4s should cost as much as a small house plot so I'm undermining the inflation. As you said, it's supply and demand. Materia especially is like playing stocks. It booms and crashes. I've seen it boom three times now and crash twice on Balmung. It's all about buying it during the crash, then hording it until the next boom and cashing in big. If every one started making 4 star craft items rather than buying them than most crafter would be out of work.

I assure you, no sooner than I DO get my crafts that high (Which I do after my weeklies are all caped) then I'll never buy a crafted item again. And I'll still be a pain to people I think are grosly over charging simply because I'm like that IRL. I don't mind doubling or tripling your money but charging ten times more than it took to make is nuts. And if my refusal to do it hurts the people that do and crashes that market bubble too, Bonus.
