World Balance is doomed until ..

That same chestpiece on Siren is currently up for 4.2 million, and people are actually buying it. They're still trying to charge 500k+ for HW crafted armor. I would LOVE to see these people forced to drop their prices.

Simply because in Ff14 there isn't an open market but a closed one.

Crafter make things that only other crafters have the ability to buy.
It's not something like DOH do things->DOW and DOM buy these things->DOW,DOM and DOL gather ingredients for DOH to use->go to step 1.
This process is expected to be made by 1 person so there isn't a proper economy.
