✭Okay here's the thing though. I know many forum users love to *** all over the "flower pickers" in this game and think that the current desync/lag issues doesn't affect this group but try to engage a few braincells and follow me for a moment would you all?
1) who do you think are supplying you with all those mats on the guild traders?
And ib4 some smart alec points out that it is several groups. Yes I agree but I assure you that the much reviled "flower pickers" are a significant source of common mats, especially raw mats.
2) if you think the desync and lag doesn't exist in overland, think again. It's very prevalent. Less immediately fatal, but no less present and no less annoying. And when you can't do anything at all for several seconds even a group of skeevers can become a fatal encounter.
Well not being able to fight is a huge nuisance even for those reviled "flower pickers". Not to mention that the casuals on the whole tend to have less invested in the game that hard core pvp and pve players and so are much more likely to move on to another game if the threshold of annoyance grows too high.
Conclusion. Maybe the rise in prices aren't hoarding so much as it is a part of the player base that this forum loves to hate and think contribute nothing to the game that are now leaving in significant enough numbers for it to be felt. And unlike hard core pvp and pve players this group likely won't make a big deal about them leaving, they'll just quietly fade away and move on to the next game.11 -

Much more likely that canny operators have been buying up all the ancestor silk knowing that they can then raise the price as the Anniversary event starts.
Historical base mats all increase in price sharply at this point.
Similarly crafting surveys will skyrocket3 -

Crafting surveys are bound to account, how the flying **** do their price "skyrocket"?7 -
Salix_alba✭✭✭✭yeah I don't get it either master writ prices will be negatively affected by the material price going up and the writs with the cheaper mats will have higher prices and surveys are bound so they will not have a price.0 -

✭✭We talking raw or refined ancestor silk?
Never seen either priced that high on PC/NA aside from a few listers that hope you will get desperate enough to buy it.
Usually see raw go for 40 gold a piece and up rarely lower.
Refined usually 10-20 gold a piece and up.
That said there is bound to be a lot of inflation in the next few weeks with the Jubilee event, everyone is coming out of the wood work to do writs for the next two weeks, saw plenty of players asking in Alinor just today where to get certified to do writs.
If you haven't stocked up on mats before this event, your either going to have to farm or try your luck with a lot of window shopping till you find mats at a good price, since everyone else will be doing the same thing especially with a lot of people stuck at home, all that is going to be left in the guild stores is the over priced stock.
The toilet paper shortage is no joke though, people have even been stealing it from the public toilets in the nearby towns.1 -

BUT NOT BABY WIPES OR PAPER TOWELS OR NAPKINS!
Can't understand the irrational fear driving this public panic and rush on retail for supplies like TP and bottled water. The latter which is already provided for FREE right out of their tap
Speaking of which: alternative hygienic products the likes of baby wipes and paper towels are potentially limited resource commodities due to the higher processing requirements on the manufacturing end. Using cheaper alternatives like SOAP AND WATER (and hand sanitizer whenever possible) are not only cheaper, but a more practical alternative should these manufactured TP resources run out. And finally, should The Walking Dead scenario come to pass, then there is always going to be wild life vegetation which our ancestors have used since the dawn of time....

I do casual farming of mats all the time but when the Anniversary event comes up, I make a real effort to farm for 2 to 3 weeks and stock up on mats for it."We have found a cave, but I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside."0 -

I don't know about you but I have to pay the water bill and then sewage calculated on the water I use.
So I pay for water going in and going out. lol

You know what is funny with this - in China they did that as well in normal times - same with soap. Rarely that you find toilet paper or soap on public toilets there.

✭✭I don’t farm the stuff, just do the writs and hoover up anything in my path when I’m doing quests. I typically end up with about ten percent more than I need, enough to generate 30,000 gold once a month when I have a clear out and dump it on an npc. Most of it is lower level junk from Writ rewards plus the occasional ruby level stack.0 -
