Well the prices are only going up. I never seen a item getting lower in prices.

Well I mean just the Exchange system, not the anti-scam with you only may give out 3k every 15 minutes. you're still able to give gifts and EM will be able to give prices away.

Could also be a 'store minerals' upgrade (coal, iron, gold, stone). Gem upgrade to cost 100k, mineral upgrade to cost 150k.
I agree.

True, but people will keep rising the prices and they will get that high again.

Exactly.
