Normally during summers; things become cheaper. Added to this is the loot 2.0 that sets the end of the eco era.
Yet prices on low and middle end eco gear don't seem to go down at all. A10x amps, ares rings... seem to even go up a little in value since loot 2.0
Now, we have the migration, so it will be interesting to see how the market evolves once it is over.
I'm sure a lot of the the gear is in the hands of re-sellers, and other people that want to get rid of them.
I wonder if the beginning of August will be MU drop; or maybe even later. And how much the market will drop.
What I suspect is that MA aims at a certain MU % that makes it easier and more attractive for new players to join and play. If that is the case and they want to reestablish the market at a lower point it is totally unavoidable.
In theory it would create the opportunity to sell items now at a current price and later buy it back at a lower price.
This is a rare economical event. And it actually goes against the summer sale/autumn buy trend.
I wonder if MA chose the timing on purpose, to create the biggest effect as possible.
Any way, this seems to be an interesting economical time. It might hurt the resellers, it might hurt the ones making profit in hunting; but it is interesting to see where it will lead to.
