Crafter's Corner Board

[UnphaZeD]

I've noticed that an awful lot of people just don't care what something costs, they've already got enough money to buy it and the potential loss doesn't concern them. So dropping 40 million on a piece of gear, or pumping 12 million into a craft in a week isn't a huge deal. And since they're more concerned about their time than their money, why not just bone over the other crafters and/or hike the AH price on something because they don't feel like waiting for a more reasonable seller...

That's what I mostly notice in crafting, not someone throwing money at it in random fashion, but very focused fashion. Taking the same path as most people, but doing it in a truly obnoxious fashion, hiking material prices and dropping product prices all in an attempt to just get it done QUICKLY.

And yeah, it sucks.

EGADS!!! gilsellers do not hurt our economy!! what are you talking about.

that there be sarcastic.

you see how it hurts all areas of FF when money just isn't an issue to more and more people.

Eh, to be honest, I doubt most of the people dropping 40+ mil into a craft are gilbuyers. And while there are gilsellers crafting, I don't know how many of them get all that incredibly high up the food chain. 40 million gil amounts to hundreds of dollars iirc, and if you've got hundreds to blow on gil, why bother crafting at all? Just buy more gil.

Not all assholes are gilbuyers, nor are all gilbuyers assholes.

Gaebo dropped over 30mil on LC via his capped IGE skill.

Gaebo is one person, not an example of the majority.

He did mess up the market a bit though...
