    What we have in the real world is also affected by the need to manage resources.

    The game doesn't even come close to replicating that short of rare drops from things like maps. A node doesn't have a restriction on how many players can use it at one time and will respawn multiple times a day.

    It's just supply and demand. I crash prices all the time because I want to liquidate fast, buy more materials and circulate my gil for max profit/time.

    eg. I released over 100 Susano weapons essentially crashing it on Aether when it was released. I made a ton of gil because they sold fast and I had gil to buy more materials etc. Eventually, prices stabilise.

    Restricting cross-DC market usage just because you want to sell high seems selfish.

    Higher prices benefit crafters though, especially if you have the means to raw mats via gatherers or hunter retainers.
