In your analysis you are missing the point which is : There is no adena loss there people sell at prices they wish and are comfortable with, if it does not suit you, you should find a better way of making adena. If a raid drop 5x C items or D items of course that the price of the items drops. This is only in favor of lower char players. How there is no adena loss when melted items cost a little more than half the shop price? Maybe i need rephrase, it seems you did not understand.People don't sell at prices they wish, they sell at prices other people buy the stuff because nobody buys low D grade. Speaking about D grade, there is only market for full items when we speak about top. Tarbar, SoR, Brigandine, etc. Those you can sell little cheaper than shop because there is demand for them. I agree with the OP, this server is the first low rate server i am not able to make money from Crystallization and that is because the drop rate is high. Materials have a good price tough. Need to find other ways to make money.
