Price Change?

i remember way back in the first beta that the prices for goods you bought at store varied and created a bit of "supply and demand"

however i realize it does not do this anymore and i wonder why.

also in the past betas goods and gold were difficult to come by but now it is very plentiful. do you think it is it going to stay plentiful or will it be scarce once again?

Everything has changed in the "preparation"/beta testing. If I'm not mistaken, some areas still are huge on supply and demand (like the Dye Trader in Lions Arch) and others keep a reasonable price no matter what.

Goods and gold especially were hard to come by in the first BWEs because, IMO, most people were just getting a feel for the game and not going too far. Its further on in the game where the drops become amazing and you hope that something drops that will eventually be useful for you. It happened for me but it was just a few hours before the beta closed... I got a pic of it and hopefully I'll find it again, if not something much better.

Back to the question at hand... things WILL remain plentiful as they currently are. The only changes will be those that will continue to improve the GW economy and its community.

Hope that answers your questions. If not, hopefully others will post here to fill in where I didn't.
