Question about Plaguefire

Hey all,
How come plaguefire is so expensive (international server). To put it in perspective ill list this.
In AH:
L.Plague = 250,000
Plague = 1,550,000
G.Plague = 4,800,000
In addition to vorpal:
L. vorpal = 410,000
Vorpal = 1,450,000
G.vorpal 4,600,000
So while the lesser plague is worth significantly less the normal and greater are worth more o.O
is this just because of inflation of the new HR pathfinder skill? because i cannot think of another reason. Its not like upgrading a plague costs more greater marks of potency or refining points right?
Also i have yet to see a Perfect Plague, is this upgrade even possible?
Thanks for any awnsers.

Those are the only tiers as it's not possible to make a Perfect.
The Silver Sword - NW-DEIPWYISA - Daily Qualified
A Relaxing Stay - NW-DEEYNZYZ9 - Daily Qualified but going to be updated
Vorpal however includes a Coalescent Ward to create a Lesser, the price reflects this. The price for the higher versions is also lower than Plaguefire because even with the Coalescent Ward Bottleneck, there are Shards out there from which you can fuse the Lesser, you do not have to rely on a specific Lockbox (that, to my knowledge, no longer drops, outside of 'Return of the Lockbox' events, the Lessers sold now come from stockpiled boxes and Lessers).
Also, there is no such thing as a Perfect PF. A Greater is stronger than a Perfect Terror anyway, which would, mechanics wise, be the closest to the Plaguefire Enchant.
GPF: 7.5% Fire Damage + 2.5% (stacks 3 times), -15% Defense (stacks 3 times) --> 15% Fire Damage, -45% Defense (at 3 stacks, which is up with 3 hits, so once you have 3 Stacks on target and keep hitting, from the 4th hit onwards, which replaces the first application of GPF, you outperform Terror)
PTerror: 12% Necrotic Damage, -20% Defense, does not stack.
GPF is popular and well priced because:
1) Vorpal is nerfed in PvP with Tenacity stat
2) Its a lockbox enchant
3) It gives DOT (Nice against TR to drain their stealth for little)
4) It reduces defense of target - while 99,999% players are going in PvP for tanks it makes it really effective.
5) In PvE you need one GPF ( and one Terror) in group to maximalize overall dps for whole group (Its much better then 5x Vorpal group)
They have been raised in cost. There's no reason for the pf to cost more though, it should cost the same to refine each.
Why should a Plaguefire be any cheaper than the next enchantment, even if it doesn't make use of Coal Wards?
I for one won't sell a Lesser Plaguefire for that much less than a Lesser X because I know it will now be considered a cheaper substitute. The Coal Ward issues has now increased demand for Plaguefire. You want to charge 300k for a Lesser Terror, I'm going to charge 250 - 280k for a Lesser Plaguefire.
As a Plaguefire seller I ain't running charity because Cryptic took a giant dump on its customers.
L.vorpal is 400k and a G.vorpal is 4,5mill because that is what it costs to get:
4 lesser, = 1,6m
4 greater mark of potency = 400k
3 C wards = 1,4m
some refining points = 600k
all combined = around 4 mil. So the price for G.Vorpal make sense
Since the L.plague is 150-200k cheaper the prices of a G.plague should be around 600-800k cheaper then that of a G.vorpal.
Put 1 and 2 together and you can make alot of money if you just make G.plague's and sell them in the AH because they are overpriced by around 1 mill atm. (if anyone is buying them)
To put it together, because the basis of a G.Plague costs significantly less then the basis of a G.vorpal the end result should be cheaper but as of now the Plague costs more. There is no logical explanation for this
Because they come form lockboxes and the supply of them remains the same. I suppose demand increase more as it's a cheaper alternative with the change, however if the lesser is cheaper, then it will cost less to make the higher ranked enchants too and the price should reflect that. If you read the OP he wasn't really talking about the lesser price (which used to be 100k once upon a time).
Personally I find the gpf prices a rip off. It's a useful enchant for team dps, but it does significantly reduce your own dps over say vorpal. On a debuff dc, it is very useful though in particular.
Though gpf needs 6 gmop. So the normal plague fire is reasonably priced.
