having just gotten into material tradin myself I was particularly shocked at the massive price inflation even though it didnt really effect me.

My problem, in response to mithies about selin carapaces, is that in attempt to buy hide at low prices of 8g and thn sell when trtader price rose was a waste of time.

the trader was upto 470 so i thought confidently 25/30g sell. Regardless, people were still sellin and buyin at 10g. So what is the bloody point. I even went around tellin everyone to check the prices at trader to convince them to sell at "normal" rates.

anyone else see why I would be annoyed? is this off topic? hehe

In share holding this guys initial post is known as "ramping"

Buy a load of stock

Then go out and talk rubbish about them to increase the price and make a profit

Before selling what you hold (which will kill the market price)

Haha, I may have contributed to the price hike or I may not have. We're at about 15.5k each now at the rare material trader for those following the rise...I think it's hard to believe that the price increase was due to my post on a forum. I think it more has to do with everything getting completely out of whack. fur squares costing nearly 1k? Blue and red dye for over 3k at moments? 20k for black dye? Where are people getting the money for this I have to wonder? Also while superior monk runes remain impossible to buy for the average gamer, all other superior runes have seen dramatic price increases as well. It's now almost 11k for a necro superior death rune...yeah I know, holy ****.
