The Increasing Gold Prices

....So you get 15% more gold now, and everyone is thinking "Shouldn't gold prices in AH go down because of this?". Apparently not. It seems people continue to outbid each other on the gold auction instead of putting down the same price or even a little lower than the top price. I know a lot of ppl have money and all, but do we really need to make gold prices so damn high? I know a lot of stuff are on sale, but the price won't change if gold prices get raised 30%.

So this is my official plea:

Stop outbidding each other on the gold auction and let's work together to bring prices down.

How?
When you see someone buying 2 gold for 130,200 and the next highest bid is 20 gold for 130,000, don't bid 135,000 for gold. In fact, don't even bid 130,200. Instead, buy your gold for 130,000.
Despite what you believe, someone will sell out their gold to the person that bid 130,200 and chances are you will be able to buy gold for a lower price.


So next time, don't outbid, underbid gold prices and let's make them fall.

    I wish I still played here. New servers I feel like I got a deal buying gold at 160-170k. The way pw does their events will always cause the gold price to rise.

    I like Supply and Demand....

    Because there's a price ceiling at 1 million.

    Gold always costs the same amount when you buy it out of pocket.

    Gold prices will probably only rise. Never expect it to fall.

    It's because of the battle pet pack sale.
    15% more zen per dollar, 40% off nix/herc. So many new nixes today, blood clot plis.

    Gold prices fell from 115k or so to 105k right around christmas and the orb sale. They only got higher at the end of the orb sale (going back to 115k). If people refuse to buy for higher prices and underbid instead of overbid, prices will fall.

    Guys... be proud of yourselves for a moment. You actually know what is making the prices go up. Rather than that stupid excuse that the ignorant people use.

    Like people taking over the map makes it go up thing. Yeah... yeah....yeah
    What's in my pocket, dawg? Big face hundreds!
    Just left the mall; bought everything that I wanted
    I'm Kinda mad with you haters, I'm really dissapointed.

    Then quit. We have everything better. Harshlands is just for the fail to make something of themselves.

    Can't say that because some go there for a new pvp experience. But still the majority that go there failed on LC.

    .....Yeah ppl saying CQ taking over the map is ruining the economy is dumb, that's 100 or so ppl that get salary regularly vs 5-6 guilds with the CS whores getting money. BLT not having a salary should have helped a lot, but it didn't...they level so they don't really need to sell herios for money though.
    Either way, we control the economy, and it would be nice of poeple stop just shrugging and paying more than they should for gold, heiros, etc.

    Some people have decent jobs that require them to spend alot of REAL LIFE time out of game to earn the money to play the game at an advanced level. Dont downgrade people buying zhen because your complaing about the prices of said zhen. You contradict yourself very well.

    .....You can choose to CS as much as you want, in fact pls do. If I choose not to then you have no right to tell me anything, it's technically a F2P game. You don't have to insult me because I am trying to lower the gold prices (which btw worked apparently, they went down from 130k+ to around 127k).

    So go ahead, CS more gold = lower prices.
