Just because people complain about something inflating it doesn't mean the inflation is artificial. o_o

Trust me I was on another site during their everyone is complaining about inflation time(and it was a good chunk of the population). Actually it was like 50% against and 50% for. Eventually people started paying the new price of their donation currency. Now that price is normal. Most people would probably complain if people valued it at the old price in offers XD. I think people complain because people are creatures of habit and resist change. It has nothing to do with rather the inflation is artificial or not.

Personally when I buy a DI I pay what I think it's worth. For example I bought this month's DI set for 8.5k. Personally, I find that to be a reasonable price. I wasn't paying it because I have tons of aurum to spend. It was almost all of my aurum at the time. I payed it because I find it reasonable with all things considered. That isn't artificial inflation at all <.<. Especially since that's the only set I'm(and probably other people who pay similar prices are) buying.

I don't see as many rune/current DI sellers either the last few months, at least not when I've been on, so that's part of it too. I used to be better at catching people selling them XD. Less supply + demand = inflation. I don't see how it's artificial supply and demand... unless I missed something, which I do a lot.
