I'm not expecting the ecto market to go crazy, basically because the gloves are so expensive. Here's the argument that I just posted in a separate thread:

Personally I thought the gloves would be nice to have until I found out they cost 75 ectos. I'm having doubts that these gloves will have a huge effect on the ecto market because they require so many ectos. Basically, my thinking is that many people will be turned off by their expense and choose not to buy. In other words, I think if the gloves cost 4 ectos instead then everybody who thinks the gloves look nice would go and buy ectos, but at 75 ectos I'd imagine more than 20 people would say "meh, totally not worth it" for every one that ends up deciding to get the gloves. Additionally, people that can afford to pay 75 ectos for these things are the sort of people that have a stack of ectos collecting dust in their inventory. Obviously anyone that already had 75 ectos in their inventory isn't going to affect the market whatsoever when they get the gloves.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surpised if I saw ectos being sold at 5.5k because of this but as far as the price "rocketing", I seriously doubt it.

Yeah I have doubts about the price of them "rocketing". If it was a whole armor set that required ectos or something, then yeah. But this is a set of gloves...that require 75 ectos. I have a feeling more people are just gonna settle with the magma or glacial ones, rather than shell out 75 ectos for those ones.

Then again I could be totally wrong, and the ecto market goes insane. >.>

Let's be honest, yea of course the 75 ectos needed certainly is a crazy amount for JUST gloves, but let's be honest, they aren't the most snazzy looking gloves.
Because of both reasons, you may see a 1-2k increase but as more people get them, others see them and think "Do I want to spend 75 on just gloves", they'll go back to around 5k.
