I have been NPCing items for months. In my instances, I prefer to NPC items rather than live in the restriction of the market wards. What I do sell are melded or HQ items that I craft from mats that I gather. I fished up a bunch of fish, i crafted those crystals, i logged my lumber, i made the masks and I NPC'd them. Slow at first, super fast with hasty hand. I don't have to wait, and yes it takes a bit more time. However, I"ve leveled 3 jobs and made a few million gil.

I just wanted to emphasize the underlined/bolded part. You made a few million gil in a matter of months. People made 40 million gil in a week. There is no comparison.

I'm totally with you, and I get that (even though it slipped by me as I wrote it). However, these are the same people who will frivolously spend their fortunes away like a young waitress who won the lottery. That gil, although created from nothing and directly injected into our virtual economy, will end up back in the hands of responsible crafters or farmers. Who in turn will hoard it just like they always have. It's like a virtual Bush/Obama (for those in the States) stimulus package. Everyone's gonna go off and either pay their bills or buy flat screen TVs. Right now, I'm just not too worried.

In any case these idiots (those who lacked initiative to build capital prior to this event) can at least get some stuff on them to make my remaining time in pick up PTs slightly--yet marginally--better. In the mean time, can we get some "hot-fixes" to the damn imperial invasion? No one even cares about the Northern Tribe and have been kicking stones for the last week. I WANT A HAT! The damn Dawn Drops won't get that for me, lol.
