I think you guys are missing the most important change in the past recent days so let me lay it out.
Before thursday, great honor leapstones on my server (EUC) were 450g per.
I was buying them to hone, and i needed alot.
With 50000 gold i could get around 120 great honors.
50k gold cost me $30~
Now today:
Great honors are 100g per and going lower.
With 50k gold i can get 500 great honors, 50k gold costs me $90.
If i wanted 500 great honors before thursday it would cost me 200k+ gold.
200k gold would be $120+.
Now you can get 500 great honors for 50k gold, which is $90.
This was just an example but prices of EVERYTHING are dropping.
Gold will keep going up and up, atm its more worth to buy gold now than when it was $30 for 50k.
Its simple economy, people see gold prices and freak, but look what you get with that amount of gold
