Well, I believe you should go back to basic economics classes.
When resellers try to sell something too high, it just doesn't (or shouldn't) sell, thus next time they adjust prices, and so on...just take a look at how the ring market bubble is starting to crash. It has been overpriced for such a long time and now it is getting a bit more realistic (while still overpriced to my understanding).
People not buying at high street prices, more rings being introduced just make prices drop. It goes the same with armors. You have many options, my dear "idiot", no armor, other armors, healing, healer service. With now so many planets, don't even dare telling me there is not enough choice in armors, plates and healing devices. Even me as a dear noob of 16 years of age I have 4-6 different armor sets, quite as many plates sets and no less healing devices. Not talking about rings and drugs.
This game offers already huge options, just like IRL. Ihpone is too expensive for you ? Get a Xiaomi. You can't afford a Louis Vuitton ? Got for Mickael Kors. It's all about choices. And when you will be able to afford what you know look at with longing eyes, you will feel even more satisfaction.
Cheers & Chill.
