This happens every time a new season or new content is about to come out. People are hoarding their gold for new gear that's gonna drop.

This has happened every time new content comes out since I started playing. And everytime it's the same topics. Economy is ruined, no one is buying, sts fix this.

This is just the normal run of the economy before a new season or new content comes out. For a collector like me it's my favorite time of season and the one I look forward to most. I can always get the stuff I'm missing for cheap.

Once the tombs come out people will start to spend their gold again. No reason to panic.
