    Your marketboard is going to kill your Server.

    Seriously, I can't tell if these prices are a joke or what. I really like Mateus; most of the people here are great, and the server has a very relaxed feel to it, but what good is any of that if you can't afford to live here? I'm lucky because I tank and I can play the cracked cluster game to keep in coin, but others who don't either have to have a bunch of gathering professions leveled, massive life savings, or whatever riger-marole just to be able to enjoy some of the QOL a healthy marketboard is supposed to bring. The local insistance on selling everything in overpriced stacks (like smithing prisms for example) is mind-boggling. Is there a shortage of crafters on this server or is everyone just that greedy?

    Truth be told the market board used to be much much much worse than it is right now. On average a piece of HQ crafted raid relevant gear would probably cost in the regions of about 5mil per piece give or take pre-migration. More people and more availability drove the prices down slightly but with our established crafter base setting the established price high and the new migrant crafters realising that under cutting by several million is retarded the prices have settled to what they are.

    Economics yo.

    Supply and Demand.

    I was one of the first migrants to Mateus and was in love with the market boards. After coming from a server that hardly needed a market board because everyone and their brother was an omni-crafter it was really refreshing. I am glad to see that prices have stabilized and are where they are. This is a healthy economy. Balmung was/probably still is in a constant state of over-saturation.

    The marketboard here has always been stupidly overpriced.

    A lot of the reason I am working on my crafting and gathering. I don't want to have to go to the marketboard except to sell things. Pricing is just outrageous on a number of items.

    I just recently moved to the server. One of the things I checked before coming here was the MB. The problem isn't as much as the current top items. Its the low demand items. Those are stupid overpriced due to the fact no one is making them. Hopefully as the server grows and more people that invest into crafting it will help stablize the economy.

    This is the big reason I think is the issue which is the lack of crafters. In my FC alone we have 10 people at any given time working on their crafters, but it us to be you had to wait for a certain person to log in to craft some thing for you. Glad to see that now so many of us are working on crafting/gathering, but it takes time to level and that affecting the marketboard.

    People should level crafters for easy moneh!!!!

    You don't even have to be that good. I already saw that Hempen Camsies sell for bank.

    Also for low level people, check out silver ingots, natron, and leathers!
