When alchemy came out, the price of alchemy items deflated tremendously. Believe it or not, alchemy items used to not be as common as they are now, mainly because not a lot of people knew how to make them or had the patience to. So, in the past, they were expensive. Alchemy came out, those items were easier to make, and the price of individual diamonds rose up 200 plat. If damage could be channeled through mining methods, the prices of diamonds would deflate, since they'd be easier to get. If people decide to be crafty and double their prices, they're also putting themselves at risk of losing out on the deal. GK has a pretty standard pricing scheme laid out nowadays, with price fluctuation only occuring if more of one item gets spawned. The only thing people use diamonds for now anyway is prepping, for the most part, and to trade for other items. And you can only prep based upon your phys level. It would make prepping a little easier, no doubt, as well. |
