I'm unsure why FFXIV is so adamant on us not recycling our old armor without some degree of work. When you take a look at FFXI, it's known that some of that armor is recycled greatly handing off to dozens upon dozens of players. In FFXIV, you can only sell or trade armor that's at 100%. So if you've used it, unless you repair it or find someone else to repair it, it's no good. How many people are going out of their way to actually repair a pair of gloves to resell them? It would take time and money people don't really feel like spending. Why not have a way to sell the armor that's not at 100% so this way lower level players don't need to level their trades just to get new armor at the start. It's a complete turn off for people to come into a new game and have to make all their own stuff when all they'd like to do is battle and farm to buy stuff. I don't like sitting around for hours farming just so I could level a trade only to find out I need another trade for one item. I want to be able to buy old gear and then focus on getting it repaired myself.

Also, it'd be nice if people weren't allowed to set items at 99999~ and if the item search stopped bringing up items with 0 quantity.
