People complaining about IWD RP drops: It baffles me

As the title says. Anyone else pretty much dumbfounded by this?
The botting scare almost reminds me of 1950's propaganda scares. Unless the botters can some how make a script where they don't take damage, botting HE is going to be hard.

Making a script to run a dungeon is one thing. But making it so they don't take damage? Eh that's a bit more work than for what most of these scripts do now.
Doesn't matter. The RP price drop like it's hot. The last time i looked at the prices it was about 180K for a stack of peridots and 360-400K for a stack of Aquamarins. If i remember correctly that was on Monday or Tuesday. Now the price drops below 100K per Stack of peridot and 260K for Aquamarins only one day after the patch release and they don't stop to drop.
That's what I'm trying to figure out too. The only two arguments I've been given is that either A: botting or B: it will drive the market down. How are those bad things exactly?
But that's a good thing. At least people won't have to go by keys, open lock boxes, try to sell them on AH to make some type of AD, then go blow that same amount on RP. I mean if you open 17 lock boxes, only make maybe 500k to 700k then turn right around and spend it on RP that will only at most take you up 1 level on your artifact, that's really disheartening
And that's completely crazy.
and... is this bad? this is a massive positive step in the game.
This is the best thing cryptic has done for a long.. long.. long time.
Exactly what I'm saying. Why are people complaining about something that's good. Like I saw one post. If people keep complaining, they will change it, and then they will complain why changed it.
It was no where worth the time invested.
The only people complaining are clearly those who were... finding ways around that, to sell highly inflated stacks for AD, to probably then flip on a 3rd party site for real cash (or whatever.. Im no expert in that field)
I cant think of ONE NEGATIVE reason to complain about this.. other then maybe lag.
IT will also drop, people are exited about it, but you will find half the poeple who dont care in a weeks time.
Me.. I will turn my AD in for someone elses grind when the prices drop. I might spend 20-30 mins a day grinding out hes for awhile.
This is the BY far the biggest thing needed in this game in a long time.
Otherwise, if you dont like crowds, you can earn decent RP in sharandar for PRETTY minimum time (3 x 3 with green stones = 22,500 a day) if you so desired that is. Its a pretty good return of your time.
ITs a incentive to ACTUALLY play the game.
If that happens, people will start using RP as they get it, and there will be progress on a daily basis -- rather than saving up all your RP for the double-RP weekend, and only upgrading your enchantments/artifacts/artifact gear then.
RP prices will stabilize on the AH, and people will have some empty space in their inventory, as was the original vision by the devs.
And I say this as someone with 7 alts that have among them one legendary artifact and only rank 7s and 8s -- so I was one of those who would hoard RP and enchantments for double-RP weekends.
Bots weren't running dungeons. They were being parked at the appropriate spots in the appropriate places with the appropriate gear equipped to farm spawns in dungeons.
If I could thumbs up this. I would repeatedly. In IWP alone, they have a clock wise farm going. You can, in 20-30 minutes, anywhere from half a stack to a stack of either Aquamarines, Peridots or both. And like I said before in another post. It can close the gap between people trying to get from Rare to Epic, and those struggling to get from Epic to legendary. Although it might upset some people/elitist.
Not as many alts but I'm in the same situation. One legendary artifact and rank 8s. But I make it work.
So I wonder will it drop anymore by next week this time.

Botters don't run one character. This basic fact often baffles me why people assume that.
That's understandable. But the fact to make it is something else. You gotta remember. Deep down, programmers are lazy. No matter how you try to say other wise they are. Now lets find one who's willing to sit down and take that amount of time to make it.
Agreed ++1
Exactly. It's like if someone randomly hands you 100 bucks and you punch them in the face
When money is involved, laziness gives way to ingenuity.
