So I see that steps were taken to address the high price differental in making the Ascended silks (100 bolts of ssilk, 20 wools, 20 cotton/linen) because for the duration of the LA event the bags of supplies, drop Cotton, Silks, and Wool.
At first this helped drive the price down, and it worked when Silk dropped to a low of 1.5s. Then the next patch nerfed the zerg events and bags were less common, and look at that, prices are HIGHER than they were before the patch.
Good step at addressing it but they failed to realize that the lack of quick easy loot for scarlet, meant the scarcity of these mats again. So what was the point of adding it if the price was going to only decrease for 2 weeks, neato.
Things are just getting higher and its been a while, I already have 2 ascended armors + LOD etc, so its not like the ascended silks are new.
When will prices drop? As of now I usually buy enough mats for only 1-2 days worth, in the hope there will be a balance patch like the LA one where the supply can be increased and prices dropped. In the meantime, ill be doing 10 dungeon paths just to keep up my daily habit.
