Destroying Server Economies

[Eriane_Elis]

Yeah sure lets continue to pay 2 million for piece of high end gear on some servers where others are 400k. Let be sure to maintain that sillyness.

You have to consider how long it takes to obtain the mats, then how much effort it took to become a crafter at said level and if cross-class skills were needed then you consider those as well. Then once you're done computing that, you add a bit for yourself. I was pretty shocked to see how cheap everything is in FF14 overall when I first came here. It's like people don't value themselves very much. But after playing for some time, I learned that there are market bots, gathering bots, and bots everywhere. Then there are those who have like 8 characters with 4 retainers each ruling the markets with discord notifications on price changes. I can see why people just give up and put their prices pretty low.

For me it's, "Crap... new Expac in 2 months and my retainers are full of crap... Let me see if I can clean this out and still made a little profit in the venture!"
