Blizzard… seriously?
So a Fiery Weapon enchant is now what, 7g total? This is what you wanted? This is vanilla? Fiery Weapon was around 23-28g worth of mats back in the day.
Have you lost your freaking minds?

This is blizzards fault how?
Also who has the economy to support this pricing you speak of? You are refering to years of accumulating gold on a server.

It probably won’t reach peak price because nobody has enough gold. Everyone is broke. Prices are scaling to what people can actually afford.

Ah yes. The excuse people go to that none of them seem to understand what and how it functions.

No prices are scaling due to an overwhelming amount of supply due to layering…
Are you familiar with the principles of supply and demand?

Yeah and I’ve noticed that it manifests as pages and pages of mats being sold for 30 copper more than vendor price.
Which is great if you’re buying mats! Not so good when you sell them.
You’re also comparing vanilla population which, according to a source (Blizzard I think?), 3,000 players was a healthy, populated realm.
Westfall has 100,000+ characters. That price of 28g to 3,000 is going to be much, much different to a realm hosting 100,000 unique characters. I’d assume unique players would be in the 40k range. More players = more mats = more gold/less gold.
His mount was free, I’m still recovering from paying for mine 
Supply vs demand, there are a ton of enchanters leveling, and there are very few people actually caring to buy fiery enchant since they are replacing their gear so fast while leveling and gearing for raids. With Righteous Orbs being less than 20 gold, why even bother with fiery enchant, when you can get crusader?

Who in their right mind is going to waste gold on firery enchants.
Crusader, agility, spell power and healing power.
Put your two brain cells together and think carefully about supply and demand.
Layering increases supply, but also increases demand, since there are more players.
This isn’t a layering issue. It’s a “the servers are brand new and no one has gold to spend” issue.

Exactly. This mega servers made possible due to scaling are crap. I’m moving to Windseeker today, how much does it have? 50k? lol
Well those come from DE items around the 40ish level, while there might be some impact form layering abusers it’s more likely that it’s caused by the bulk of the player base leveling on that range now.
Edit: The other factor is demand, there’s still not so many players at max level trying to buy them so naturally prices are low, if you want to make a profit stockpile them then sell them when prices go up.

wasn’t 28g like an hour worth of grinding at 60 in vanilla anyway? Who cares?
Good choice! You’re welcome
