Holy moneysinks...

With the reduction of the value on drop items to 1/5 and extracting +0 equipment not giving any upgrade pieces -- It wont even be worth picking up say an osmium +0 drop. People underestimate the amount of coin the little things add up to.

With the removal of alz awards (100,300,500k vs up to 100M is a removal) from the wars, participating will be an utter loss of coin -- from entry to war goods. I think people will see their coins dwindle fast from doing wars and some will have to stop participating entirely -- this will hit those with poor equipment hardest as they do not have the money to spare for the entry fee if they arent going to get it back.

Add crafting changes to the mix and I think we are going to go into a period of deflation HARD.
