I didn't say the quick ventures were dropping the cloth. I said they were dropping the Moonfire glamour gear and I was getting the cloth by desynthing those.

A lot of the profit from quick ventures doesn't come from selling the item direct. It comes from desynthing the items for materials that are more valuable than what the items themselves are selling for thanks to quick venture causing market oversaturation. Wouldn't you happily buy up Sandals selling for 2-5k gil that had a 25% chance of yielding a cloth that normally sells for 60k-100k gil? I certainly did.

The Mariner Cotton Cloth market was already going to be depressed this summer thanks to those like me who took advantage of last year's opportunity. Adding the cloth to the event is going to hurt us more than it would hurt the map runners who have plenty of other valuable materials to get from maps.
