What you ask for is impossible unless STS implements price controls on items in the auction.
The value of items are based on the supply and demand -- this goes for greens too. If they eliminate greens from the drop table of elite bosses, then many more pinks will drop, and then your next thread will be complaining about how the pinks are worthless too.
STS has actually tried this strategy before, but not in AL. They did it in PL in an expansion called "Alien Oasis 3". Bosses in Alien Oasis 3 dungeons only drop purple and pink items. The results are that pinks that come from the bosses of Alien Oasis 3 are so common that they are mostly worth around 500 gold each, with the occasional "better" pink worth 3k.
So unfortunately, your gripe here is with capitalism and not with what items drop from elite bosses.
In response to the person who said it is Arena and Bael 2/Krunch 2 that is causing the value of elite pinks to drop, that is 100% wrong. The value of elite chests and pinks were already very low before Bael 2, Krunch 2 and Arena even existed. The problem was that Locked Crates gave a pink in every one, and those pinks had stats almost as good as the pinks that came out of elite chests. STS has since corrected this issue by making crate pinks more rare, but they could not change the supply of these items after the fact as the market was already flooded with them. So this change did not affect the market for level 30/31 pinks. However.... this change should have a significant effect on level 35/36 gear during the next expansion, and I would expect prices on those elite pinks to be significantly higher than level 30/31 elite pinks. Going forward, I think we will all view Nordr much like players in PL view Alien Oasis 3 -- way too large a supply of pinks, resulting in very low prices.
