Destroying Server Economies

Free market, it may not give you the best price if you don’t hop but it save you time and give you convince.
More competitions is always welcome for consumer

I like to believe that Square Enix has destroyed individual server economies now. i'm an omnicrafter on Diabolos, and no one is going to buy things for the prices crafters have set here because you can get it cheaper on Balmung. It's a HUGE slap to the face. This is the ONLY thing I'm upset about with the update, otherwise the world visiting system is great.

Oh no, people won't be able to demand extra high prices because they can't control the market anymore!

After the initial jump of high prices this morning things are already dropping back to reasonable on many things, it won’t take long for the prices to stabilize.

If you’re worried about balmung, maybe you were charging too much to begin with.

You are charging too much if no one buys your stuff. Every server had its own economy and it worked for the whole time. Now every server gets the prices of the biggest servers and more people get easy access to the bot farmed stuff on these servers.

What I'd be worried about is players going to specific servers to buy something. It would make more sense to go to a highly populated server because you would usually have a lot more choice and competitive prices than on a low population server. If this happens this could mean that even if your stuff is the cheapest, many players won't ever see it because your home server has a low population.

if you can use Mb with it can you buy houses with vist?

People buy stuff off the market boards for marked up prices without even checking if they can buy it cheap from NPCs; I doubt they're going to go through the effort of checking each server to shop.

This was a wonderful experience. I havn't had this much fun since the last MSQ release.

I personally will cheerfully server hop to find goods at a reasonable price! I make most of my gil selling food, and the prices on my food may drop some, but the hassle of dealing with local MB prices will also drop. If I can't find enough of what I want on Jenova without breaking the bank (or at all in some cases) another server is bound to have it. And I'm personally really hoping that new people coming to Jenova will mean my food has a wider buyer base and therefore sells better. I can't get anyone to buy my Ginger Salad or Imam Byaldi locally for anything.
