You're probably saying that because you have a bunch of brutals you don't want to sell for any less than 10 diamonds. Deflation in this manner is a good thing.

All this will do is give more power to the strong, more money to the rich, and take money from the poor.
Actually, it would make maps more affordable for the poor than they are now.

Do you know who finds and sells brutals? Not level 110's with dual RoW's, that's for sure.
Uh, no. Me, Draxx, and a handful of other people sell ours when we don't need them.

Finding one brutal a day means you're having great luck. So frankly, their profit margin is tiny compared to the big traders.
Haha. I guess this makes me the luckiest man in the world, considering the other day I got 12 brutals and 37 immenses from messing around in the HH, huh?

Secondly, by doing a brutal, you will easily make more than 4 diamonds worth of plat/items. Thus making it silly to make them worth so little, considering you get 1,000 plat (2 dias) just for doing the brutal and the item drops and possible gem drops usually easily make up another 2-4 diamonds worth.
The enemies in brutals don't drop gems?

So, in conclusion, no. Brutals should remain at least at 8 diamonds, if not higher. The ten diamonds is a luxury tax. If you're too lazy to go and find the brutal yourself, you need to pay more than they're face value. That's life.
Sounds like someone is protective of the value of his own belongings. If you do the math, you'll find that immenses are now being sold for 2 diamonds apiece. That's 1/5 of the price being paid for brutals. You could buy 5 Immenses for the price of one brutal right now and get 2.5x more exp than you would with one single brutal. Since the price has fluctuated, you are swindling people when you sell brutals for 10, as you can buy maps that are far more valuable with the money you make off selling it.
