Economy Dynamics before New Season

This is my first time back to D2 during a ladder reset. I am more addicted to this game than I have ever been in the past 25 years. Due to my trade experiences over the past 2 months, I have noticed a precipitous drop in the interest in trades which I feel is causing prices to drop. I speculate that this is because ladder content will move to non-ladder so all players get an influx of new non-ladder content. Is this accurate? If so, when do prices start to climb again? Or is this as voliatile as the U.S. Economy? (*kappa*)

No clue. But I'm happy you're enjoying the game!

U.S. Economy is extremely positive and already too good to be true.

the trade interest here , it is because of people not feel any new things and start to leave game.
Afterall it is one monster and new jewel , charm. that's all. For some, it maybe 1 warlock that most people finish suit up in 1 month. then there is nothing more to play.


The other problem is some trade, people still think in old world pricing and make it too expensive.
In new rotw, low rune is 100 - 140 =

Ist to keep reasonable selling. or 100-140junk jewel =

Ist
In LoD , even it drop some value, it will be 70-100 low rune =

Ist or 70-100 junk jewel =

Ist

It is because rotw provide 100 space for everyone , some LoD trade may still remain 30-70 due to space problem.

As for other rare yellow item and old LoD uniques,

Crown of Ages, griffon . People still pricing too high and low demand.
My prediction is that people will realize it is very hard market around 2-6 season, price will drop very slow to where it suppose to be.

You can consider warlock shock spike is finish , it is long mature slow drop period.
