I see this all the time, and I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Right-click on a diamond sometime, see how much it sells for. Did you know you can buy them in shops for like 5-10 plat?

The price of diamonds CAN'T be lowered by Stefan or anyone else, because the 200-300 plat that players will pay for them is not set anywhere in the code. People pay that much for diamonds because they are so rare and so useful.

It's true that diamonds could be made more common, and then the price would drop somewhat, but this wouldn't help balance the game any. The economy might stabilize, but then things like weapon upgrades would be so easy to do that GK would just be unbalanced in other ways. I say, just leave diamonds and other parts of the economy alone. I don't really see that there's a problem. You work hard, you earn lots of money. Sound realistic enough to me.
