All these actions have been suggested long time ago, but last primordial saronite abuse made us perform this harder cut, because many players changed it into consumables and other items, so we had to cut them too in huge amount, you can see the list above.
There are no known gold/consumables abuse methods, so the economics on both realms should be stabilized during the nearest week and the prices will bounce back.
We apologize to all fair players, who spent their time on gold or consumables farm, but we did not have another options to restore the balance.
