While you can slow their business down on Zalera (how many items do you actually sell?) it's business as usual on the other servers. Think about that before you waste more time on them. Even without selling the items you screw them on they are probably still making millions of gil on items lvl 50 - 79.

EDIT: Not trying to bash you by the way. I'm just trying to warn you about how little impact you will have on their operations. Undercut them for personal profits by all means, but don't think it will hurt them in any way. They don't even know you are undercutting them anyway because they don't physically play.

The -ONLY- way to screw them over really good is by having at least one person on every server dumping items all day long below their buttom price. And trust me, literally no one in his/her right mind can keep that up for items lvl 50 and up.

Lost cause boys. Either SE steps in or none of this will ever go away.
well, after spending a good portion of my day doing nothing but crafting, yes, you are right. I sold 40 things but its unsustainable and only a crazy person would ever hope of competing against them. and no, I didnt feel bashed at all, I had not actually considered the wider implications, but you make a very valid point. the RMT importers who bring in a stack of goods from a single crafter on a central world are proof of this. Jojoya and his friends win I suppose. it will continue and SE will continue do nothing but cover their ears and loudly exclaim in Japanese "I cant heeeear you"

Just as a thought after what you wrote I took a look at lower level gear and the penetrate very deeply. so, my little experiemnt, ended up very much proving your point. I wouldnt have even raised a programmed eyebrow

thank you. looks like crafting is done.
