I guess I should of clarified more then I did. Both are player driven, 1 works a hell of alot better. I ment they should look into XI's player driven economy, not they need to add 1.

XI's economy was more stable. Price fluctuations where minimal or very gradual, supply and demand balanced. In XIV everything is crazy easy to get, the supply for most items far exceeds the demand causing really slow sales, 1 day something will be 3k, next day it is 11k, next day it is 5k.

The player economy in XI was stable, it is extremely unstable in XIV. I truly believe the XIV economy does not really work there is simply no supply/demand balance on anything.
