it seems with the rash of hackers that the economy is going haywire...
Yesterday (its yesterday now...) I was looking around on basil/in the FM and not only are ilbis dropping in price minute to minute but other items (mainly WS drops and some others) are dropping also... I know this is due to the 24hr hacking efforts at WS but theres hackers spreading out to less trained on mobs (currently seeing 24hr hacking at the map before the JQ in CWK) these monsters drop more rarely found stuff (badges and the exchange quest rewards....) and I can already see the effects (60% overall for ints dropped by several mil though this could be just a market fluctuation) and if these hackers continue they could theorhetically move to any location to hunt anything that seems rare till they don't make a decent profit off them anymore and move on to the rarest of items (nep honey deflation to 100K anyone?)
As nexon has yet to "do" anything the economy seems to be in a state of flux as more items are entering the market at a faster rate than users can seem to want them... does this spell ruin for the economy as it was just starting to return to semi-normal after the chest event? Or do people welcome the low prices and hope it continues just long enough for items to bottom out and be available then ban all the hackers and instantly reduce the supply to cause mass inflation again? (at the point of banning the hackers buy 100's of ilbis and then sell them in a month...)
