Haven't played in a couple years, but ladder is resetting soon, so why isn't ladder near the same rates/prices as NL? Is it because people don't want to spend time selling on NL on reset or something?

Thx ~

People abandon ladder so the prices crash on ladder while on nl they are still stable as always. Reset will lower prices on nl for a while because ladder floods nl market.

Basically like this. Red line are nl prices which lowers over time because less people play. Green line are ladder prices which drop below nl prices before each reset.



/e: maybe the green line should drop faster after each reset more like a logarithmic function

shouldnt your red line also show some peaks and drops in it?

Or is the market always that stable?

just thinking in economics

Yes, but you're essentially trying to bring "weather" analysis into a "climate" analysis. Of courseeeee it won't be that stable, it's just depicting the predictable average/mean over time.
