Not to rant, but this article was very poorly researched and stated. Of the "many" items mentioned, only two or three had numbers to match them, and the author mislabeled alot of the reason why armor prices are climbing. Back to school. Every year, high school and college students especially, sell out until they settle into their fall routine and find time to play again. Armour prices jump every year, and the reverse effect is that potion and food prices climb due to the lack of players on to make/gather them. Obviously the new PKing could have a large effect on this too, but the massive drops in God War item prices etc. is completely normal.
