A Reason people may think the economy is bad

The $200 founder pack gave 2,000,000 astral diamonds, The $60 gave 600,000 AD. This immediately crated a surplus of astral diamonds. If you just started the game and wanted to buy AH gear then it would seem like everything is too expensive because the market is bloated with AD's. To a starting player without a founder's pack, AD's can only be generated certain ways. So, I think it could be possible that people just think that the market is bad because they didn't get the large amount to start with. I am not saying there isn't ways to exploit the system and that those are not causing problems. I just think that founder's packs have made the original economy curve seem ridiculous to people starting from scratch. I definitely could be wrong...its just a thought

    You are correct with the initial two weeks, but....

    The price of Zen in Ad should fall as the large pool of initial AD is spent at a faster rate than new Ad is being farmed. For example buying mounts, guild banks etc... As we headed into the double AP weekend the price of zen had fallen from around 380 to 360. Even with double AD over that weekend the price fell to about 350 because the double AD slowed the rate of the price fall. However, today before the shut down of servers the price was up to 400 AD to buy Zen.

    Clearly the flood of exploited Ad had driven the price back up. If there is not a server wipe, these servers will always have an inflated price of ZEN. With no wipe the person hurt the most is the honest player that wants to trade his earned AD for ZEN when the price of ZEN is inflated by counterfeiting.

    For example, lets say in your country the legal currency suddenly became very easy to counterfeit on any laser printer in an undetectable way. Prices would sky rocket over a short period of time as the honest person gets screwed...

    Well, it seems ridiculous to me that you would make such a long post without understanding the situation at all.

    Well, we had "stability" in that a smaller number of exploiters were using the exploit from launch, but the "stability" was lost whe the number of exploiters hit critical mass today.

    You guys act like stability won't restore itself. His point is if stability can be expected to restore itself after founders packs, why can it not restore itself after an exploit is corrected and much of the 'loose' AD is removed? The answer is, it can. This is an economic bubble, nothing more, a year or so from now no one will even remember this.
