There is a reason no other game (MMORPG) has done something so incredibly stupid to their market.
If this is the only reason why you wish the MB to go back to the way it used to be, then I disagree. I don't see how it is unfair. If you have the ability to travel to another world to buy a thing, then in practice, you have the ability to sell to other players because they have the ability to travel to your world and buy from the MB you post your goods on.

Essentially, everything that can be posted on a MB is available for a player to acquire in-game. Granted, many things require hard-work, dedication, time (our most valuable asset), etc. When you post on the MB, you are selling a short-cut. While I am fairly new to FF14 and how this particular MB works long-term, I don't view MB (on any MMO) as an essential way for players to create wealth. The creation of wealth, IMO, is a byproduct of selling short-cuts to other players.

What I am failing to see, however, is how the MB system, as it is currently, is unfair to anyone. No one forces a player to buy anything from them. The game does not force you to use the MB to progress within the game. It all comes down to what a person's time is worth to them, in the form of in-game currency.
