10 fat cows followed by 10 meager cows
This actually is a reference to the economy. 10 spelendid years followed by 10 years of decline. And all by all in the economy this is half and half true. the economy does go up and down but not by the fixed 10 years.
In WoW you don’t have such things, though we see that major content patches drop certain prices. What I have been seeing these last days is that the epic gems are really tumbling in price. Runed cardinal Ruby’s are now cheaper as the Cardinal Ruby’s. The profit on Rigid King’s amber is getting really slim vs King’s amber. Enchants are getting cheaper and so are belt buckles.
Now this all is actually very weird, and I hope that it ain’t happening on your server. My server already has a small market for raiders (med pop RPVP server) And all the “real” raiding guilds already have T9(.5) and have their sockets/enchants/buckles already. A lot of new guilds are also setting up and they don’t want the high end stuff yet.
So if you can have a look at the prices of epic gems, and you’ll see them decline over the next few months.
And this is my tip for when 3.3 hits: when you see really really cheap gems, buy them now, craft them, and sell them a week after 3.3… A lot of players should have new gear by then and be more then happy to pay 150% for the gem.
