FFXI Economy?

[seussiii]

Just started about 2 weeks ago and i like the game but im wondering if the economy gets all messed up after awhile? Items dont decay so eventually anyone can have the best of the best equip. for their guy if they just camp NMs and save their cash. Is this a problem? I used to play UO and i know that item decay made more business for the crafters and sort of evened it out.

Also i liked the vet rewards they gave out for UO...do they do that in FFXI?

To answer your first question, the price for items go up and down over the months, but lately because of all the new players the prices for alot of things are going down. And if items decayed in this game the economy would screw up and the price for everything would go up because people will need to buy the items more often making them rarer. :spin:

the high priced items get higher... the low price items get lower... at least it seems that way on Ragnarok, but it seems to work ok, just gotta spend a lil more than you'd like to on ocasion
