Hey, I dont know if this is spread over all worlds, or just morrigan, but at least here prices have plummeted. People are selling a load of their stuff to buy brooms and charms, and they want money fast. So they are selling cheap. Dragon discs, which usually sell for 50k, are hard to sell for anything above 40k. Ammys, offhands, etc. are all priced to sell. This is great if you're on the market for stuff, not so great if you need to sell stuff. So, here is my question to all you smart people out there who understand economics and crap. How will this trend affect us long-term? How will it help/hurt our economy? I would think that since plat items prices will always be constant, that eventually that will cause all prices to gravitate to a certain point. But I dont really know. Any thoughts? (cue the smart people)

glad you ask... I posted a similar comment about what the double plat sale would do to the economy. Turns out it had no lasting effect.
Its a tough question. The only thing that will really effect prices of things would be if more gold is given for a certain amount of plat in the plat shop. This would simply increase the amount of gold in circulation.
I believe that this new trend to sell low during the event will not have a lasting effect on prices that are stable as determined by the usefulness of the item measured against how much plat items they are "worth".
However, for items who's prices are artificially inflated, say disks perhaps, I think this could cause a permanent lowering because this will shake things up enough to bring prices down to their correct value even after the event is over.
However it just depends on supply and demand ultimately. If the powers that be decide to hoard things, they can manipulate the price. However hopefully for you all the price drop during the event will make lower levels think twice before they pay the monopolists their extortion, forcing demand down and keeping price lower.
