If you guys could go ahead and restrict the use MBs while being on another world

In FF all someone on a low pop server has to do is make a bit of money (how much would be dependent on their individual server). From there all they have to do is open up a spread sheet doc and keep tabs on prices of things they are interested in possibly selling from other servers.

This.. sounds perfectly fine as a way to make money? It involves time, monitoring and effort. Why shouldn't they be rewarded for that? Prices change hourly so you would have to do this daily at least..Why is this unfair?

Because the sellers don't have the opportunity to sell directly to those buyers...

If they did have the chance but didn't then I wouldn't mind, it would then be on the sellers but they have no way to do so.

In the meantime though all the servers prices are very ****d until they make data center MBs linked. I do understand that the higher prices are here to stay on some level but they are inflated right now because markets are beholden to the lowest common denominator (the most crappy low pop server).

That's not your concern as a seller though? You're still making the money, you're still profiting however much you wish to or rather what the market will support. Why do you deserve a cut of the profits from someone who's made a business of being the equivalent of an importer? If you truly wanted a piece of that pie you could create an alt with a friend and run your own "importing" ring. They're putting in the effort and deserve the profit.

and.. technically you CAN reach those same buyers they just aren't active enough or the price difference isn't enough that they'd bother to come to your server. The market is open and people have found a niche that people are willing to pay for : Price shopping.
