Blizzard like high AH prices, it means more losers buy gold using a token … it’s about Blizzard’s profit margins not player enjoyment.

Old mats are useless and dirt cheap: “Blizz why no easy money from irrelevant materials, bad predatory game”
Old mats become relevant and expensive: “Blizz why irrelevant materials cost so much again, bad predatory game”

You seem to not have brain cells if you think “forced” participation means anything other than “you cannot abstain”. You are in a free market, the two primary conditions are equilibrium achieved by the supply/demand of said market, and low barriers to entry. You clearly do not understand the basic fundamentals of how markets work.
If someone has the means to corner a market and invests in doing so, it is not “unfair advantage”. They have taken all the supply currently available and have adjusted it to what people will pay for it, if you pay for those goods at that price, you are admitting that what you paid is real market value because you don’t want to go farm those materials. Again, doing this to manipulate above real market value is nearly impossible because people can just go farm and produce it themselves. Thus, as others have said, the price returns to true equilibrium.
Yeah but people don’t have much reason to be in those dungeons.
18g 50s per for Runecloth, Fantastic. Thanks OP. Much appreciated.

If you’re needing cloth…
I’d buy it at that price while you can. The drop rate has been nerfed hugely. Places like Strathholme, Dire Maul and Black Rock where it used to drop like crazy, hardly drop any, anymore. I don’t know if it was the level squish or what but Strat is dropping magecloth, now. Diremaul is dropping silk and magecloth.
Just checked the “REGIONAL AH” for some green gear for returning players since the dev’s are terrible at thinking about returning players…
There’s barely ANY gear and the gear that is there is an absolute joke of a price for leveling… my characters have season 1 or shadowlands (s1) gear even and it’s a roulette for any DF world quest to give any 450 gear…
I don’t think it’s only “bots” manipulating everything this entire region wide AH ruined most things from what I’m experiencing for myself…
market manipulation is the cornerstone of the Wow economy, Bliz has willingly let it be exploitation based since the beginning and has no incentive to change it otherwise.
There are other MMOs with much better player-based economies that have basic principles that resist these kinds of exploitation/manipulations, but Bliz’s design philosophy has always shown they are not interested in preventing it.
Warbands at least allow you to pool your personal resources and try to be self-sufficient, it’s really a case of the winning move is not to play.
yeah…messy stuff.
they should get on that!
Only “commodities” are region-wide. Whatever gear you are seeing is on an AH specific to your realm.

As a commodity, it isn’t on your server, its region wide.
The ah is region wide for mats, there’s no “mats on moonguard” anymore
Blizzard should “regulate” all prices like Wow token… or create a separate “AH cut” for those doing “trade” buying and re-selling, like 45% cut if they buy and re-sell on the same day, or “bound” for a day until you can re-sell.
Mageweave has also been decently valuable this weekend for me.
I assume it will fall over time because more people will do what I was doing all weekend, running old dungeons for mogs now that any class can unlock them.
I didn’t read the thread but I assume the AH has normalized between all servers considering warband banks can be transfered freely. Not sure if anyone said that yet.
Consumables are sold region wide so it doesnt matter what character on whatever server you sell it, it sells the same.
Warbanks are just good for shifting things like gear, pets, toys, etc which aren’t stackable.
so gather it yourself, if you don’t like the price
It’s just the ebb and flow of supply and demand. When mats get cheap, a bunch of people buy in to level and that drives supply down and the price up. It’s always this volatile early expansion.
And I feel people who say bots when they don’t know what they’re talking about is the same people that call everything AI.
Bro i got some bad news for you, the wow economy was ruined long before that.
The wow economy basically went into the dumpster the moment they put the Wow token into the game.
You are just living in a post wow token market where everything is stupid prices.
