Here you go.
All started on Sept. 11, when someone mentioned, that the ebon proc is "broken" after update.
Devs looked into it and stated, they found the problem and fixed it. Problem was the proc doesnt work when mob scales to lvl 71+.
Ebereasider took 1 and 1 together and asked if this means the proc will be gone with expansion and players reach lvl71+ and maps/mobs are scaled higher. (in my opinion a very clever assumption)
A few hours later we got confirmation from Futumsh, that the scale down of reflect from ebon is completly ineffective.
The (not so funny) fact, that a week before, the awakening extravaganza happend and everyone was reawakening their ebon (and other item) for millions and millions of gold, even buying plat to gather elite awakening gems and noone said a word, that the ARCANE items will be crippled to legendary gear when expansion is live (and u level your toon).
The gold worth of an item is made by the community of player. STS does not set any price for items in auction.
But .. the price set by community is based on the rarity and usefulness of an item. in this case, the players could have been sure, the arcane rarity and the proc thing is a permanent part of the item.
Example needed?
If a specific attribute is important enough to be mentioned, the validity has (should) be declared. like the undying mail of thingie with the undying orb. it is clearly stated, when and how the thing works. which level is supported, what to know about this extremely rare item before buying, using it.
wanna buy some ebon daggers? go to auction, this morning the price was down to 15m. if there is a slight chance that the devs take the aspects of "what the players want" into consideration instead of "lets push out arcane armor like candy on a parade", i'll happily buy those daggers. but not for more than 1m if they are swiss army knives in a month or two.
