Inflation Much?

Has anyone else been noticing a lot of inflation?

Two days ago I saw a 15>50 hammer with no other mods go for 200k (100k and 10 ectos at the time). That was a rather high but somewhat astounding price. Today I saw a 14>50 Storm Bow with no other mods go for 80 ectos... and the current price of ectos was 15k at the time... that's 1.2 million gold.

Most of this inflation is probably due to people selling runes/ectos/supplies to the traders as it brings the majority of the money into the economy. But the current farming builds with the monks has already become more than common knowledge (with superior monk rune prices going up 10k every day).

I'm not one who usually posts about this kind of stuff, but isn't guild wars heading in the Diablo 2 direction?

Before I got to the last sentence, I had the ecto = soj equation pop in my head. Ugh.
