Don't think this is related so much to turning in seals for gil.

This is just a simple lesson for everyone in Supply / Demand theory. Supply goes down, Demand stays constant, prices go..... UP!
It's both.

Low supply leads to higher prices because everyone is too busy farming Atomos to SB, craft or gather.

Higher prices lead to more Atomos farming to generate gil to afford inflated items.

I don't think some of you understand the severity of this dawn drop racket. Anyone can do it. Any character, any level, any class. There is no waiting on market transaction since every gil springs from an NPC. Profiit comes as quickly as you can press the enter key.

Just look at your company hall between Atomos spawns. If you think the crowds there are carefully deliberating on how to spend their seals, you are mistaken.
