    Selling NPC shop item on the MB was pretty popular before they add the price tag on them and it still work pretty well so yeah many many people won't bother jumping world to world for an item they can just buy now, they don't even bother looking for the NPC in their world.

    Yeah I know the laziness of people will do that, but I'm more worried about the Rich guy who will jump around and start hording something to make it where you can only buy it from them.

    "Oh look, this item here selling for 500k on my server is only 10k here. Let me buy it all and go back to sell it for massive profit!"

    Also...

    "Okay, so let's move all of this gil between servers now by selling an Allagan Silver piece for 999,999,999 gil on this board and have one of our mules buy it."

    Why would someone buy cheaper on one world and resell higher on another, when everyone can go shopping for the best prices, and that's exactly what this new system will do, enable lower prices across the board.
    As it is, the EU economy is insane, people pay 1m for an item that uses 20k worth of material, no more shall you.

    I predict that the prices for all items would drop, as there would be more competition for all items on all worlds. There will be a lot more undercutters, so make your money now peeps!

    People from high inflation servers would benefit the most, since they will have more money in their pocket to quickly buy items from the low inflation servers.

    I welcome the lower prices on everything once the initial chaos dies down. I'm lazy to farm gil and I mostly buy vanity items off the MB and having them at lower prices will be a boon for me.

    Some worlds will end up lower, some will end up higher. Some servers might find the things they've come to rely on to make money no longer do, while others might find that they can no longer afford the things they used to...... Or it could be totally fine, but that's not them most likely outcome.

    Why would any end up higher when every person has the option to buy it from someone selling lower. It will take time to balance out, to be sure, but the only reason you would price stuff higher than the "average" would be to catch lazy people who didn't want to bargain shop and at that point... it's kinda their fault.

    There was one week where the fashion report was theorized to use the highland coat, so people rushed the market and bought it out. It didn't even end up being the right item, but the price was increased 10x just the same. It didn't go back down either. All it took was one person buying out all the cheap ones. There's a lot of people with ridiculous amounts of gil. Like needing alts because they have max gil kind of ridiculous. Any server where things are cheaper will just have everything bought out, and the price will increase with that pretend demand.
