What the---I don't even...

Only 5% of the listed price "disappears;" the seller receives 95% of his price from another person who spends it, and whilst this makes money "disappear," doing the dungeons makes it "reappear."

As a GSM, I've been making a decent amount of money from selling not just regular quality gear produced from being a Miner, but a lot more out of HQ stuff. I can also run the FATEs that produce pet drops and make a few thousand per.
