crystal energy vs. crowns
let me state that i understand these points right now and will concede them ahead of time, so i don't have to deal with tedious, possibly arbitrary arguments.
1. developers are in this to make money, even if it's a free game, and
2. economies stabilize.
with that out of the way...
i don't want to sound like an alarmist, but crystal energy prices have literally tripled since closed beta/start of release. that's alarming. we get it, it's a player run economy, therefore any market tampering is outside of the developers hands.
except it isn't.
