I really don’t understand why everyone who is like “ this is reasonable” do not get that the problem here, except I’m guessing they are mostly people who will benefit greatly from this. There are a couple really big problems: there was no communication and it sets a precedent that these prices on * time limited items * are just going to continue to rise.

1. The items already rise in value some time after the month ends due to loss of availability and new player demand and benefit “richer” players who hoard the items

2. If prices continue to rise like that it sets up an even more busted economy as a result because of #1

If they want a potato sink, it should NOT be a limited time item set, this is a guaranteed way to break game economies and just widen economic gaps.
