[Request] Add ability to choose how many items we want to purchase

[Remyogic]

I mean, imagine going to a videogame store to buy FFXIV and being told "sorry, we only have stacks of 10 for $300 available", and the store clerk has no authority to change this set up and upper management have no contact details. It's insane.

To correct your example; It's more synonymous to going to a game store and saying "I want to buy FFXIV, but I only want the MSQ, I don't want all the other stuff" and the clerk says "I'm sorry, that isn't being offered".

what kind of an example is that? That's irrational.
What does that have to do with the request to buy 1 copy of a game and not get forced to buy 100 copies?

Lets try sticking to reality ok?

Seraphor is talking about quantity of the item in question...not the materials contained in the product. Why in the world you would say such a thing is beyond even my understanding.

His example needs no correction....its all about materials/items...individualistic....and any relation to each other is pure coincidence/per need basis...not required..nor forced.

If anything his example is real world accurate....that's a common industry practice in wholesale/warehouse buying and selling of goods. While not common in consumer markets (only because consumers don't buy in bulk very often)

more often than not I do not need bulk items...I need ONE.....single...individual...item. But nope..have to buy 100 of the damn things. there's a time and place to buy in bulk...and a time where we buy individually. The market board makes individual purchases ridiculously stupid when it comes to this situation.

Like it or not the Market will fluctuate regardless with or without the request.
Take a look at EVE Online for an example...they've been at it far longer...and have a free flowing economy.

Will SE do anything about it? Doubtful...but no reason to get insane in "correcting" each other.
