Everyone who is involved in the pyrite trade knows that there is a maximum TT cap on how much can exist at any given time.
MA put this cap in place, one can only assume, to maintain the viability of mining in pvp4, as well as crafting those enhancers.
This has now backfired.
Due to the heavy usage of enhancers during migration, a lot of pyrite has been cycled, and one or more avatars have been able to manipulate the market by stockpiling the available supply.
This has choked off the enhancer production market, as well as much of the mining in pvp4.
One would think that it would be against Mindark's best interests for players to either pay high markup (and therefore lose available cycling ped) for their enhancers, or worse yet, go without those enhancers and cycle fewer ped altogether.
The nerf/cap on the max tt was unnecessary to begin with at best. Would it not now be a good idea to raise that cap at the very least, so as to allow the market to function properly? Otherwise, those who choose to continue to use enhancers will be cycling a lot of ped into the hands of the market manipulators rather than into MA's pockets.
