what funny is the age that they called the golden age in history was not really the golden age either. irony? there still large gap though in the money flow item are not selling like they use to so people not making money, but the reason for that is there no longer as many gil buyers buying all the crap. In a few months as long as there are no more major changes the money should catch back up. SE just need to make more items that are not omg take 100 year to obtain, that are worth obtaining.
Beginning of the end nah, they are just making change that they should have made year ago. You asked for these changes they gave them to you, but with change comes a ripple effect. If you remember we said the same thing when the pcc, archer ring, emp pin, ll boot became ra/ex and you see how that ended.
