i think i might restate this as "the people who are less content are those who liked well the group that previously controlled the supply of SS"...which is to say, players who had comfortable arrangements and supply agreements that suited them are, naturally, ruffled. i've seen no evidence that the aggrieved extend beyond that privileged population.

the devs implemented the crafting system in its entirety hoping for "friction" or some similar thing. not necessarily fighting, as GM Stormcrow later said, but scarcity is intended to give us something for which to compete.

So basically you have just given Heman an idea for the next item to be controlled. Will be fun watching you all scream when he controls the salt trade as well.

If you sufficiently restrict the supply of silversteel you would expect the value of salts to decline.

This particularly makes sense for a group of players based in the southern continent, where there are no elementals to harvest salts from.
