    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.

    That's another fear I have is that people with too much money will try to control the data center's supply of limited, but high demand items just so they can price gouge.
