Destroying Server Economies

[Canadane]

Wasn't it the point?
With the possibility to swap server if an instance is not accessible because full (to avoid the rauban gate again later).

Instance servers wouldn't have any barring on what your current world is. This wouldn't save us from a Raubahn Ex again.

Back onto subject, normalising prices is going to happen eventually. It's just going to stop server specific omnicrafters from facilitating large monopolies on things.

It seems like the people most angry about any changes to the economy are the ones selling stuff for absurd prices and they're afraid of being plebs like the rest of us.

Those who had been price gouging will now have competition. My recent purchase was a good example, I paid 190k for a glamour which is still pretty freak'n expensive! But before only the super duper rich could afford it when it sold on my world for 600K+

I dont feel a bit sorry for people who do that, Im not saying the OP is a market tyrant but I was able to gain something I normally wouldnt due to it and the seller still took home a weeks worth of roulette Gil from the sale.

Nah, the biggest fear is that bots monopolising one server with botted low prices will now monopolise all servers on the data centre

Ordinary people gathering and crafting mats cannot compete with robots that never eat or sleep.

If anything, this opens up the possibility for me to spread my monopolies data center wide.

So.. what.. stopped the bots from being on any server before?

Usually they weren't on every server, and the ones that were targeted certain areas you could avoid, which could differ from server to server. Crafter players sometimes transferred so they wouldn't have to compete with certain problem bots.
Now bots will affect all servers, and in more areas.

Another thing that's annoying being a crafter is now when I want to sell something, I have to check prices of all servers, not just my own, so there's a bit of annoying world teleporting I have to do now :< I have already d/c'd a few times in limsa due to the player influx.
Also, who is going to buy things from smaller servers anymore? People will just go to the largest servers by default because they would expect prices to be cheaper there already.
