Did you miss the part where I was talking about competition with Stephen? It's not my fault GK's population relies on 'monkey see, monkey do' economics. Players see someone overpaying, and they automatically assume prices have changed or something.

Even players who were more informed on prices (not everyone on GK is 'extremely mentally handicapped' as you put it) still played a part in the prices rising, because they also wanted to compete with Stephen and I, and started buying and selling their maps at or above our prices. Neither of us specifically told other players the prices were at 16 or 20 diamonds apiece. We simply bought them for that much, and in order to get their hands on some while we were competing, other people had to beat or match the more-than-generous sums we were offering.

In all honesty, I think it'd be great if brutals were back down to five diamonds apiece. But really, what are the odds at this point in time?


Sellers are getting 4x as much as they were before, and more people can afford things even though prices on rarer items are still going up. 50 brutals would net someone 1000 diamonds at their current price, which they can get for cheap by doing inscription and farming. There's little reason to sell for less, because it means losing quite a lot of profit.
