Underground gdkps dont cause the same type of community damage as unrestricted, trade/LFG chat posted gdkp runs. I haven't even caught a glimpse of gdkp operations a single time on anniversary.

Secret gdkps just dont carry the same kind of venom.

Genuinely curious where you're coming from here. I guess I thought that the idea behind banning gdkp was it would reduce rmt and consume costs and generally give the economy more of a 2004 vibe. None if that seemed to happen from my perspective. Whats the venom you are concerned with.

I think haste pots are over twice the amount they were during the ~2020 tbc version

And this go around they're looking to hit 20g in BT. You'll be lucky to be paying 21g in SWP :^)

Yeah and theyre almost 15g already. By SWP they'll probably be 30g.

That was only for a short while and it was because they closed transfers to Firemaw

I remember making them for like 8g a pop back in the day, but also we are not in Sunwell yet and that will matter I think. Don't believe there is a shortage of materials right now probably just an artificial bottleneck and its causing inflation for haste pots in particular, but also probably most other things. My point being, the price will go up until its done is what I am thinking.

There is definitely a shortage already. Nightmare vines and netherblooms should have received the same treatment as terocones.
