How the real world works does not apply remotely to how mabi market works, people do not abide to supply and demand on mabi like the real world. The issue here is the power dynamic, the reason why the real world market is healthy is because there is a control that is competition. When only a small group of people are capable of distribution or control of the market of course it's gonna go haywire, just look back on history of monopolies, if apple were the only ones making smart phones it's expected their value to skyrocket, but apple has competitors and so they are forced to lower their price. We're also talking about people not real companies or business men, mabi can't even be considered a modern world market since there are bartering and trades and arbitrary and uncontrolled applied value to various things to different people. Unless every person in mabinogi multiclients then the market will become might become more stable than it is by creating competition.

One thing I agree with is that people multiclienting do have some positives, in that we have more materials in the market and that can help the growth of the player base. Keep in mind this isn't the real world, it's a game, individuals can create fluctuations in the market that retrospective studies on the real world cannot predict. A counterexample to your point is the common and cheap item from AH suddenly becomes 15m even though it's supposed to be a common item from the OP's experience, or how some people don't even think about the price they are selling at they just wanna get rid of it and down sell it even if it is rare hence making analogies to the real world is not exactly cogent.

Also I've been reading mabinogi forums since 2005. I didn't have a forums account until just recently to actually post.
