Crafting and Gathering in Heavensward

[Lexia]

What I have noticed in heavensward is what happen to crafters working for tips? Was looking for some HQ crafting gear and saw some entries in PF about people doing crafts so I asked them and wanted 250k to craft items even if I'm providing mats.

I can't think of anything more anti-intellectual than saying that SE shouldn't consider economic advice when planning a market and instead listen to people who spell it "econimists" and don't consider anything outside their own scope.

For what it's worth the market is already being well supplied regardless of the time limits so I'm not seeing restriction in the system evident in the game itself.

Because they are selling at something like 400-500% margin on the mb and there's a huge opportunity cost in undercutting themselves. I'd do that for friends but not some random guy, level a craft yourself if you don't like it (it's what I did).
