I don't think it's poor design at all. At the end of the day it's up to the community to decide on prices. And unless you have you 9 seals and 25k note, which I doubt, then there is no point in rushing to get your double meld weapon when the prices are high. The demand is so high they can get away with high prices. Wait a little, and the prices will eventually drop . Double melded avengers went from 30mil to 14mil in 2 weeks. Just have to be patient :-D
