Undercutting

[Ryaz]

It was really bad this patch, especially with crafted gear. I saw stuff drop to 1/100th of the original price in a matter of a couple days... and a lot of it was people undercutting by huge margins. Some of it I just didn't get, like good. Thavnairan Chai was selling for 8-9k a pop on my server for HQ and selling decently well. Next thing I know, some dude drops the price in half and it spiraled down from there.

A lot of that has to do with the ease of access to crafting/gathering. Tomestone mats have also been very easy to get and sell. I can put a stack of 10 hides (usually amounting to around 150k) on the MB and it sells within a minute or so 9 times out of 10. The prices have dropped since day 1, sure, but they seem to be bottoming out a bit on my server, at least for now. A drop in prices was to be expected, and they will likely drop again soon.
