Rollback before the Legendary essence/dust

[Hamsterino]

It goes the other way too though: they wouldn’t have been able to sell a Sun Glaive for 4 million either.

This also conveniently ignores that the amount of gold people are willing to spend is higher because Phoenix Feathers, Relic Fragments, and Orichalcum are dropping at a much higher rate than before. When you don’t have to spend as much for crafting, what do you think people will spend that money on instead?

True, they would've gotten maybe 500k instead. But my point is, in the long term the 3,5mil extra don't matter as much as the fact that the prices of legendaries have skyrocketed due to essences. I'd rather have 500k out of 2mil than 4mil out of 15mil, because if I don't loot anymore, I only have to gather 1,5mil instead of 11mil.
Those mats dropping more often now is actually the best thing about the update (if you want to call it a part of it), since it makes both house crafting and awakening easier, which does leave you with more gold, but it's the same with distilling a dragon axe: I don't think that gain is worth the absurd increase in prices that comes with essences (for example: I saved 2mil while crafting HC armour, because I looted 2 phoenix feathers, but the legacy I want is now 15mil instead of 2mil).
