I agree with this thread. U8

And like others have said the main root of the problem is people who throw out a ton of aurum for items that shouldn't be going for so much. D:
You know, those people who see an item they like so they bid double the usual price on it because they want it NOW. If you'd just wait a bit you can still get the item and for half the price you're trying to pay for it now. And so can other people.

Let's use a current month's DIs as an example. The average price on new DIs are about, what 2.5k? That's what I try to pay for mine at least. You'll see some people bidding 4k or 5k for ONE of the current DIs for the month. Of course the buyer isn't going to say "Oh no, I'd like it if you'd halve your offer please."
They're going to take it. So then other buyers see that and will either ask for that amount automatically or will wait until someone comes along and pays that much for it. Then you're gonna get inflation.

So really, if people wouldn't just throw out so much aurum on an item because they want it NOW instead of waiting a bit longer to find another one and pay the average price, we'd be all right. D:
There are gonna be some buyers who try to ask for more of course, but when they see that people aren't gonna buy their items for so much they'll eventually come down on their prices.
