Sounds to me like two independent issues being discussed.
1. Aggregate price for silk and market velocity
2. Farming for individual mats is hard

John,
You’ve twice asserted that there are two issues being discussed here.

Is there a reason why your list doesn’t include the issue that *it takes twice as much silk as the other Tier 5 mats to make ascended materials, even though this issue is a) clearly being discussed here and b) at the heart of the changes in the silk price?

This question is continuously avoided, even though it has been asked repeatedly. IMO, they know they screwed the pooch on this, but refuse to take ownership.

I would be ultra impressed if Anet does a bait n switch and changes some of those requirements at the last minute before releasing the patch

Cool, welcome future damage meters!

Change Top Demanded Items to be by User count instead of individual order volume. If kittens want to manipulate, they will have to buy multiple accounts, a win for Anet.

Select top 10 ItemId, count(UserId)
from Orders
group by ItemId
order by count(UserId) desc

Otherwise algorithm should “normalize” Order quantity (based on total for UserId) based on daily or some other average order size, just adding additional complexity.
