Hypothetically, could we see gold to gem conversions of something on the order of 1g -> 1 gem? Is there no hard cap to the gold to gem and gem to gold exchange rate?

Hypothetically, yes, I guess so.
You’re gonna see hoardes of people buying gold through the gem store, and a complete halt in people buying gems with gold long before that though.
I personally suspect gems will eventually stabilize somewhere around 30 gems per gold.

Well I think we could very well even have 2g → 1gem and more yes.
In theory there is no hard cap. But only the devs know how works the black box put around Gold/gem exchange. (But if it is only player driven there should be no cap)

I don’t understand why the price of gems is spiking though… I mean there is a huge difference between what happened with Halloween and what happenned with Lost Shores.

With Haloween there was a spike up to 1g → 80 gems, and then quickly went back to 1g → 125 gems. With Lost Shores + Black Friday it went up to 1g → 70 gems… and went up again AFTER black friday to 1g → 50 which I don’t understand…

(And now they announced Wintersday so it is not going down…)
Well maybe it is the fact that it went down after Halloween that is the anomaly…
