Can a mod lock the thread? There isn't a point to this thread at all, this website is called diablofans. This guy is obviously not a fan of diablo and will no longer be playing the game. He has no good insight to contribute to the community who does enjoy the game.
I thought the same thing you did that prices would inherently go down due to more drop rates, and better drops (all over il58 now). You would assume that a ton of better gear, people will undercut and prices will drop for good stuff.
However, I don't think this is going to happen. I actually think the opposite will occur (prices will go up):
1. Monster power giving gold find.
2. all drops are over il58 now so vendoring blues and yellows gives more gold than before
3. there may be a new plateau with rings and ammys with il63 stats, but that wouldn't drop il62 ones
Everyone will have more gold from normal play, so the market might stabilize at a higher baseline level than it already is. Prices will not go down because the amount of gold everyone is getting will increase. Something worth 5m gold before might be prices at 7-10 now just because you need more gold for it to reflect its "true value".
True value to me is how long it would take to obtain that much gold, it would take less work to get 5m gold now than it did in 1.04, now the same amount of time might yield 7-10m gold. It is like inflation, everyone is "printing" more gold, so prices have to go up to match the value of the items.
