I don't understand it, I just do not understand it!

Not everyone cares about maximum profits. Players are free to set whatever price they feel is fair for their time and effort.

Yeah, I see a lot of that excuse. Personally I think they just don't understand better.

We understand perfectly well what we're doing.

You're the one who lacks understanding of what motivates others.

Who are WE? Those that has done everything there is to do in the game, and don't have nothing left to do other than to destroy the market for those that haven't done everything yet, and still want to save up gil so their FC can buy a large plot?

First rule to remember in dealing with the market is that is it never your market. The market board does not exist to reward you fairly for your effort, nor are you entitled to earn gil from it. Markets do not work that way, they're player driven, open to everyone and subject to supply and demand. If that doesn't sound fair, it isn't, nor is it meant to be.

Once you understand and accept that, you can make reasonable gil on the mb by dabbling in multiple markets, researching on items that are in high demand and being patient even when prices spike and dip.

Also keep in mind crafting is at its all time easiest. Hundreds of thousands of players have max level crafters and competition to sell items is sky high, while demand is naturally lower because more people can make or gather their own items.

You aren't really following the discussion, are you? You just had to but in.

Im lazyyyy, so I make my teporting money with growing althyk lavender and trading those for nuggets.
If I got pissed every time someone undercuts the prices to oblivion, I would be dead by having been too damn pissed all The Time, desu.

There are far easier ways to make "teleporting money". I mean, simply getting 2 retainers to lv80 and doing 18h ventures each day gives you 8,000 per day (you can turn the coins into the Doman Enclave for a free 20k per week) and also Challenge Logs. And Qing up for a couple Adventurer in Needs per day.

That, and let's not forget that the best way to earn a gil is to save a gil -- I am a super-casual player and I have 62 million. A lot of that was made by not spending it on stupid stuff like the latest crafted gear.

I keep my retainer bringing me Shroud Topsoil 2, and got access to one gardening bed and 4 flowerpots, on Rag. That's 36 lavenders per day, which turn into 108 titanium nuggets, which net like 64k if I sell them with 600gil per nugget. Good tele money, I can buy the raid food and pots i need too. Nothing to complain here.

Maaa~ybe needless to say that this is not my main method of making money, if I want to make good money. Just little money.
