I am referring at crafting materials which prices will most prob raise and will be harder to obtain( because of new weapon introductions) . Or just normal items , from runes to gear and such.

We won’t know, and even if we did by the time you made a forum post about it the price would already be 10,000x higher.

Most of my friends if not all of them don’t give a kitten about golden pixels, only small percent of players are taking this serious.

But most of the things mentioned on those threads are related to account bound currencies, not crafting materials and thats what the OP asked for.

In one thread t1-5 mats were mentioned because people might want to level crafting disciplines on their new revenant but i doubt that this will be an issue because even veteran players will have to revisit lots of the lower level maps in order to finish collections and mastery tracks and we will see additional crafting material rewards from map completion.

Without knowing which mats will be needed for new legendaries, collections etc., its pretty useless to ponder, which crafting mats will rise in price.

While players might need a good amount of t5 and t6 mats after HoT, they probably wont need it right away because they have to finish some collections first or will be gated in some way, so there wont be a demand spike, i think.
I also know of plenty of players, who are hoarding champ bags until HoT goes live to take advantage of adjusted loot tables. So during the first days of HoT, I expect an unusually high amount of champ bags being opened which might flood the markets and we might be looking at tanking prices for mats that are on plenty of champ bag loot tables, at least for a couple of days or weeks.

I stocked up on fine t6 mats and also bought some more lodestones over time, but those are meant for personal consumption, rather than as an investment.

Those mats nearly never saw quick price spikes of more than 50%, so i think they arent a good investment.

Personally I focussed my investments on mats that have been introduced after launch because I think those mats are more likely to get new sinks in HoT. Some of them have limited faucets, compared to the old t6 mats, so they are more vulnerable to price spikes as well.

Other mats I invested in either have pretty limited uses atm and therefore are more likely to get new sinks, like essences of time for example, or are timegated, like mystic coins, charged ambrite or t7 wood/cloth/metal.

IF (big IF) they finally introduce jeweler and chef 500, those markets will see plenty of movement but in those departments I also only stocked up for personal use, not really for investment. The big fractal update might influence prices on items related to it but I dont play much fractals, so i am not familiar with droprates in there.
And i dont play around in markets I dont have a clue about, so I didnt buy much of it either.
