That's unfortunate. I remember in retail making a decent starting by farming and selling goblin items + quadav backplates to sell to crafters, it was a good way for all new players to make gil. Hopefully the markets will correct and there will still be a market for them for newer players here as well, but goblin masks for certain should just be thrown away at this point.
Yeah, idk if anyone will farm backplates for less than 5k a stack. That's (or less) is what i would be willing to spend on it. I still think adjusting NPC prices would have been a better approach. Now everyone's just fighting over iron ores -- which is still at over 1000 bought in 15 days.
Take half of the server's source of iron ingots away, and half of how to keep a smith busy, and you get a shortage. /shockedpikachu
Markets will correct over time. Again, being upset that the server makes changes to be era-accurate is putting the cart before the horse.
