@Baetin As someone who tends to sell alot of different stuff: In a market in which prices are in an inevitable decline with an unknown bottom, patience can be as costly as impatience. Sometimes you're just desperate to get your stuff sold before someone else gets dumb enough to slash prices even more, and quite possibly permanently. Admittedly, this fear is largely due to the widespread impatience of sellers, which forces everyone else to play along or get burned.
Just watch... these, along with the other elemental ores, are about to become as worthless as crystals. The market is so oversaturated and people are slashing prices. Soon, you 'll be able to pick up any of them for less than 10,000. Watch. Sellers are inherently stupid and will slash prices to nil before they learn an ounce of patience.
I agree, ppl are so dumb they undercut just to get a sale faster. Its even worse on crafted items/gear. Take the SH, it used to be over 1 mil for the norm one, and even before the last few updates it had became worthless. Crafters screwed themself by lower the price so low, that if you didn't get a HQ when crafting you made more gil saleing the items used to make it. lol
It is obvious by looking at the pattern of sales that RMT are lowering prices for other RMT to make HQ staves. Two RMT on Cerberus who never buy anything for player use (food, gear, etc.) but only sell ores and make HQ staves. For months.
