Living Flame Server Economy ruined

Since blizzard let players make thousands of gold during the first hours of the Incursion, our server has totally gone down the toilet in terms of our economy. Potions that used to cost 50s or less are now at least 5g now. You guys absolutely suck for allowing this to happen. Over 100g in consumables for Sunken Temple and I wasn’t even able to purchase stacks of 5.

Incursions definitively didn’t help, hell I made close to 1k off leyline summons on Saturday alone.

Think people really overlooked just how expensive the new consumes would be opening weekend, and how that would effect the p2 consume markets. P2 consumes shot up 4-600%.

Guessing the new trade restrictions had some effect, plus I guess supply of mats fell off with everyone moving on to new zones.

I have some news for you. This is not a function of the gold influx. For instance, boe blues and epics that used to cost upwards of 100g went down to 10g or even less. Items that saw their demand shrink tanked in price, while items that saw their demand sky rocket (like raid consumables on the first weekend right before reset of a new raid) saw them spike. Guess what, those same potions that were “50s” last phase at the end, were several gold when gnomer released.

This happens every phase. It’s not a function of the incursion gold. And unfortunately I hate to tell you this, but it will be MUCH worse next phase.

Same thing happened on Lava Lash even with the small population. Reaction in guild was simple. Everyone got their alchemist going and we simply won’t pay anyone outside of guild for anything going forward.

Kinda laugh when I look at the AH and see all the stupidly priced gear. Not sure why anyone would buy or use it. Plenty of avenues to better gear and you can make money along the way for other things.
