I agree the price of currency is crazy atm. I mean one CN run can net you 1m AD, but it's rare to win anything unless you're in a farming group. Regular t2s you would be lucky to make 100-250k per run. And they are only worth running once or twice per day during DDs. I don't think it's player greed driving prices so high, but the design of the game. PW wants people to buy Zen, so they've made it hard to generate reasonable amounts of AD. That being the case, everyone believes that it's such a precious resource, so they sell items for high rates.
After all, when a full T2 set costs 4m AD, why sell in quantities below 1m? I would like to see the fg:ad ratio change, but it won't happen unless the game is much more saturated than it currently is.
look, you always gotta keep the realmoney in mind. judging from other games (diablo 3, dota 2, team fortres 2) people keep the ratio of
1euro / dollar = 100FG
Take into consideration that 1100 Zen are 10 euros.
1100 Zen are worth around 385.000 of AD.
So 2200 Zen are worth 770.000 (hard math shit going on right here)
2200 Zen are 20 euros, means 770.000AD SHOULD be worth 2000FG, usually.
The price is already brought down, since the influence of the Zen currency and since you can't sell it for realmoney.
According to this prices will prolly be even lower by time and the value of FG to AD will go down.
Since AD is an infite source of payment, the game will become insanely unstable at one point, when the prices knockout the AH limits,
because there are way too much AD, but not enough Zen resulting in prices of billion range to make Zen worth the RL money it cost.
