Re: On the Economy and other musings of a new player

Playing as an Independent (not part of a Guild), and presumably for the smaller guilds as well, I had to make do with what I could purchase either from the NPC vendors, or from player crafters I had established relations with, and to get decent gear, i had to save and budget. 500K dappers would do for a set of jewelry, back when i was around level 100. Large guilds with their own crafters may make money irrelevant to their members, but is the problem there the economy, or the guild ?
NPC vendors need to buy player crafted items - because no player would.. the crap that is produced as people grind craft is unfit for Homin consumption, and we really dont need the shops clogged up with hundreds of q34 daggers of lightness etc, etc, etc..
I agree with Richky s comment about not assuming the players are the entirity of the economy, it would reduce world immersion to have the player item sales totally divorced from the NPC side of Atys.
So, I am not an economics student and I am satisfied with how the economic side of the game works. In fact, to me it isnt an issue.
and totally offtopic/derail..
Should Guilds have a membership cap ? Are a few large guilds going to overrun Atys and exclude smaller players from game content ??
