Why would being able to choose commons help when uncommons dry up?
total kick to the gut

Ugh, typo, my bad.
I'm not sure why they didn't give us a direct buy option for commons other than to keep the market supplied. I know we had a thread where we were wondering how much a direct common buy would cost and that was at least a year ago.
Typically I just roll randoms and throw a pair of each of the ones I wasn't trying to get into the base storage and sell the rest but sometimes the RNG makes me roll a lot to get what I need. I hate the RNG.

They did in beta for AE, actually, then switched to what you see now.
Of course, the ticket "cost" for it is negligible (what, 8 merits) that if you pick the random salvage (in the range) you should get it pretty fast... and probably have stuff you don't need that sells well. (I'm surprised Alchemical Siver is still pricy at the market at times, as much of that as I end up with.)
As for why not... I'm *reasonably* sure, since you can go 1-50 in AE (sans farm) and doing so regularly (playing "official" arcs) would give you a bunch of random salvage, they probably wanted (a) for you to be able to do so without (b) just picking and choosing the "best" salvage for market.

Ah but if people did that with any regularity, then the "best" salvage would quickly cease to be so, as supply would rise. My point is, it seems like a sensible mechanism with which to help balance the market, or at least make it possible to do so.

It may be that they don't want the market to be balanced.
specific common salvage rewards with AE? You can choose specific rares or uncommons if you like, but not commons. I can't think of a good reason not to allow this, and since I have seen supply on the market for some commons simply dry up to nothing on more than one occasion, it seems like a useful option to have for those sorts of situations.
