When you’re looking in your inventory selling an item, why aren’t items grouped and just add the count on the picture like you have it on other pages.

Oh, sorting by quantity is completely broken since it considers each weapon or armor as individual listings so they all have a count of 1 even when you have 10 of the same thing.

I am in complete agreement with OP and the two posts followed. I hope this was sent through usability test before launching, this new interface took away many features that used to exist, this is a no no while upgrading feature sets, especially major ones such as this.

Inflation

I don’t really know about fancy indicators and bizarre definitions, but 12 months ago if you could make 5g/hr you were at the top of the farming game, and doing well.

Today you would get laughed at if you were only making 5g/hr and considered that good. Usually people expect 8-10g/hr playing the game now and some people claim up to 15g/hr. So the amount of money you make is certainly much higher then it was a year ago, not sure what that says about inflation.

That in and of itself says nothing about inflation, but rather the rate at which gold supply enters the economy.

Gold supply can impact inflation if it is not offset with appropriate gold sinks.

I think what he’s saying is why does it matter if there’s inflation. Dusk sell for 700 but everyone makes 5 gold/hour. Dusk sell for 1400 but everyone makes 10 gold/hour. That’s the same thing right?

Not taking account into item hoarder or gold hoarder, the amount of time to acquire an item is the same.

“Dusk sell for 700 but everyone makes 5 gold/hour. Dusk sell for 1400 but everyone makes 10 gold/hour. That’s the same thing right?”

This is the same thing if you ignore the factor of time. Unfortunately, it takes many players time to save up for something. While the purchasing power of the player earning is proportional, as time go by, the purchasing power of the saving diminishes.
