I was meaning to be tongue-in-cheek about that, but I've got a screenshot of blue fox hides plummeting 50% of their market price in TWELVE HOURS because the natural flow of prices should be this:
100k
100k
100k
99k
75k
70k
50k
49k
49,998
I'm 99% sure that's entirely the fault of quick ventures returning them and a mass of idiots getting them at once (because hey, that's 50k I didn't work for, what do I care if these only come from once-per-day maps at a low rate?) and listing them for "pure profit."
I'm all for competitive margins. I'm staunchly against crashing something through the basement just because. I would also think we're all in agreement that market fixing is messed up, too. I've only done it once before, an even then I'm not sure it counts: Someone delisted two stacks of ore and dropped them again from 100~gil each to 40 gil each. I snatched them up quick before mouthbreathers thought it was a "trend."
We hate what we are, after all.
