Time to unload Pyrite Ore :(

From Eurogamer interview:

Tom Chilton: There certainly are quite a few new profession recipes. We also introduce the epic gems in this patch, and they'll be available only through the normal and heroic difficulty of the Deathwing raids.

I read that to, but I seriously doubt they want gems to cost over 1k.

Unloading Pyrite ore now would be at liquidating prices... even if news like this hits and sticks, it's best to let those that panic flood the market and sell off their inventory... it will take weeks, if not a few months but then prices will rise again due to it's rarity. That's when you start to unload... slowly.

Why not?
Most of the time many of the gems on my realm are not more pricy than they were at LK.

and let's face it, there is ALOT more gold in the game now then there was previously... making gold is fairly simple for more players given time. (botting just makes it easier for us cause we are doing the same things that they could do, just for longer periods of time of when we don't have to be sitting there doing it ourselves). More gold = people willing to pay higher prices on goods.

So basically inflation?

not that i am complaining, i have been able to sell everything a bot on a dialy basis to private buyer. How ever i have use the mats myself and dont seem to make to much more.
I am curious if there is something out there that people are doing that I may not know about. WHY are people buying all the ore and herbs they can get their hands on? for weeks/months now

 

[SoulWeaver]

Cause people like to purchase gold and spend it ? ^_^

 

[Dubbelu]

oh shit, look at this bullshit:
Epic gems will drop in the new raid in Normal and Heroic only. Each player gets a geode when a boss is killed which has a small chance to contain an epic gem, most will have rare gems. It is rare enough to take all of 4.3 to replace all of your red rare quality gems with red epic gems.
So why the fuck did I stack all of my pyrite. gawd

thats also a good news for Rare gems, Price are gonna be High too, why? cuz not everyone are gonna spent 1k gold on Epic gems

Lot of people dont really like to pay 1k gold for +5 agi or +10agi (w/e difference its, at least its +20+)

 

[Bayoya]

also what i think they mean with it is that you can get that prize from those Raids( dunno if they mean 5man or 10-25 raid) like Random Dungeon Loot Bag, THATS WAT I THINK

Each gem will increase stats by 10 as said in the interview. But subject to change as always.
