Blaming jarl is silly, it was just a gl event after a month dead. Even in evg people got much more gold in less time and every 2 days, for more than 1 year.
The real problem here is that half of the farmer base left the game, because they have nowhere to farm. And this makes the job easier for price manipulators, as you call them, who have always existed. Since there are no items to spend with, the people who have these items just keep it.
In short, people have gold but the market does not move, or does not move as fast as it used to, even gears are obsolete and are worth nothing, so it is easy to arm yourself with little gold.
Also with so much mindless gold the pressure is on those coveted auras, vanitys or items.
