10kk = 10mill, I would have said mill but half the people don't know what that is, they only understand BR kk, maybe you've never heard of notation? even scientific notation?
10x10^6 = 10mill
10 x 1000 x 1000 = 10kk
so if you cannot understand that, then take time to understand and look at the basic economics of conquer.
There are more players on the older servers than the new servers. The prices of the older servers have always affected in one way or another the newer servers, they use precedence.
When it was just Dragon, Kylin, and even Phoenix, the prices were all well below what they are now, the population was just as much then as is now. The demand is the same. They were well established servers with a supply-demand curves that were considered normal by most good players. In fact, If you remember the easter quest, you know that ND's previously were just as rare if not rarer than pulling a Super Gem from a mine. Due to the easter quest, ND's were easy to get within that week's time, AND YET! the prices went UP!, why? because demand was high. HIGH! how many people do you know with Night Devil? With the ability to obtain ND's from Dis City, as well as from the rare drop, the prices are still well above the standard.
Demand for gems is still high, with the ability to add enchantments, and trade for mets, the prices are what they were; normal.
You are complaining that gems are not selling for the severly high prices that the inflation over the years, caused by market manipulation have given you. I have mined before without COToBo, 2 clients, 2 weeks, and pulled several dozens of normal gems, and guess what? I didn't see anyone else complaining I was causing an imbalance in market trend, especially when there were other dedicated miners, and even miners that created mining guilds. Newer servers tend to have less dedicated miners, as compared to older servers, hence the reasoning on newer servers, the "influx" of normal gems is causing market fluctuations. Yet on newer servers, I have not seen a super gem go for less than 30m.
Statistically with COToBo, mining "extraordinary" amounts of normal gems, the ratio that you would get super and refineds, would also follow. Yet I do not see a flood in refined and Supers, in fact the only difference is sale method. Most people I know sell their refineds/supers to friends, or people they know that have money. Now due to Botting, and autolevelers (BJX/COP/CPE/etc) people have massive amounts of quality items, and money, DB buyers are more prevalent than previous. People are seeking to get more money, by selling in market. The trends are certainly changing, but prices are falling to normal averages.
I don't plan on seeing any useful gems falling below 300k, and if they do, I see it might be a sale of desperation, and won't be a regular occurance.
btw, please list the servers you see as having these "inordinary" prices, and I will list mine, that are still selling at normal ranges.
PS. I did not flame you, so I will forgive your flaming of me, opinions are such, if you take personal offence, then don't bother replying.
