Premium accounts are only exempt from the removal of inactive characters, nothing else.
Their gold is halved the same, and they still have inactive names removed.

The gold squish seemed like a fine idea. Whatever, we all have to get over it. But please fix the AH, it is in complete imbalance! The prices do not correlate to the amount of gold that has been removed to the game. #AHisbroken

The AH doesn't follow the halving, or any rules. Supply and demand will bring the prices down over the next few days most likely. Already seeing *some* commodities reducing in price. Not by half, but down a bit.

Same names are still safely reserved by 1 lvls that havent played for like 5 years with no option to even pay to get the name, this has been nothing more than a pointless money squish from ppl that worked hard to get their gold, bravo.

Ye but supply is unlimited.... So its nothing to do with "supply" & demand. All items in AH should have been squished together with everyone gold. Profiting off of skills and professions is broken atm.

That doesn't make sense to me. In any market when supply is more limited than demand, prices go up. In what way is supply unlimited?
If supply were truly unlimited prices would be close to vendor, because no matter how much people buy there would be more coming onto the market and it would push the prices down. But you seem to be complaining prices are high. That would suggest supply IS limited and demand pushes the price up.. Or there's a cartel.
I'm a scribe, and we're definitely not running a cartel.. Or, if the others are they didn't invite me!
I'm buying up herbs now and I see the price has come down already. This means then in the next days glyph prices will also fall. This is how it works.

Hey r00tk1t, your explanation works perfectly and is true in real life. In real life, there are a lot of macro factors that play into affect that push prices down and up. Specifically related to the amount of supply. For example, extreme weather conditions, pandemics, wars and politics. However, in WoW (as its a game) non of these factors are taken into account or affect the game in any sort of way. It is for this reason I say that supply is unlimited. The supply in this game is purely dependent on the amount of grinders there are. And since this city never sleeps. It is a constant and continuous flow of supply into the AH.
I complaining that the prices are in "imbalance" because for example: Disenchanting lvl 75-80 items is a loss, where are disenchanting lvl 24-50 items is profitable. Where as before the squish it was the opposite. Also tailoring, crafting the low-tier items is more profitable than crafting the high-tier items. When the whole worlds (in this case all the players) money gets split in half, logically the prices of the items that you purchase have to go down along with it. Otherwise what I could afford yesterday, I cant afford today.
I believe that prices become stable in this game very naturally. However one of the primary reason for the stability are the AH flipper (idk if there is a real term for this). The people who play the game and sit at the AH all day and just buy the undercuts, or mispriced items and sell them at a profit. Additionally another factor that stabilises the price is the general consensus of profitability. For this reason however, I think that prices will NOT go back to how they were before, but rather they will be re-priced at new prices, whilst remaining profitable.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Accumulation of excess gold and no way to spend it. And cutting gold does not solve this problem. Before the cut, there is hyperinflation, which is BAD, after the cut, there is a fall in prices, which is EVEN WORSE.
Such strong fluctuations in the market are extremely harmful to the economy of the server. As a result, ordinary players suffer, and those who farm gold to sell on third-party sites become even richer. Offended players leave, the server loses online. And inflation is picking up again.
Heed my words. A normal withdrawal of gold is required, by selling goods and services that do not affect the gameplay. This is the only way to fight inflation normally. As I already suggested:
1. Put up for sale Crates of Foror - 10k gold each. This is minus 110k gold for each character.
2. Put up for sale scrolls for transmogrification - 200 gold each. It should not be a luxury, but a means of withdrawing large amounts of gold, and the price should not be exorbitant, otherwise there will be no mass withdrawal.
3. Allow players to buy additional professions with gold. Perhaps with the disabling of bonuses from them. 50k gold for the third, 100k for the fourth. You just get a profession, and level it further as usual. This will increase competition, which means lower prices at the auction.
4. For God's sake, start banning auction bots and resellers already. It hurts to see greens at a price of 2-3k gold. I would understand if they were selling things for transmogrification, but these are ordinary green items, and they accumulate gold only to sell it later. It's bad for the server when you can't buy normal equipment because some huckster bought it and put it up 10-100 times more expensive.

I actually think some gold sinks that aren't gear is perhaps another good solution to the hyper inflation problem. Something that takes the gold out of the game. I mean currently you CAN buy crates of foror for gold. But, you need to convert gold to coins, and buy with coins. Of course that just shifts the gold to another player who effectively bought it with real money.. Actually removing it would help.
But how many things like this would you need to cover the amount coming into the system?
Are there actual AH bots? Sometimes I've thought I'm going up against bots. But, in all the cases I've seen they're real players after all.

I hadn't played in 2 years.
This squish I just logged in and used AH to buy cheap, sell twice the price on gems, Herbs, Flasks, Primos
Made 88k with 0 effort.
The squish is the best time of the year for new players to make tons of gold and build their chars.
You just have to see the bigger picture, squish = inflation. Inflation = you can easily sell gathered herbs and ore for example for tons of quick bucks.
