The people getting rich off the market aren't spending inordinate amounts of time on the market (many have talked quite extensively of how they operate).

I sent a PM to Zwil asking if that was a bug. I haven't heard back. Maybe another dev or CR could chime in?

To some degree market prices are always going to be out of line with Inf gained form Defeats/Missions.

The market fee is the primary Inf sink in the game taking 10% from every transaction. What this actually means is that every Inf generated through combat can generate up to 10 Inf worth of market sales (sum from x = one to infinity of 0.9^x). Now obviously in practice it's a little bit less than that but I'd be willing to be it's pretty close (close meaning more than 9). So in general if you look at the amount of inf generated by kills in the time it takes to generate one "good" recipe and then multiply that by 10 that's the scale the market is operating on for prices.

Oh I dunno, the Mez Protection ones should help out even the most decked out IO builds on various toons with no native Mez protection.

IO's can't buy you solid mez protection.
