There are not enough ways of making gold ingame. Locked prices have dropped since release. The event was not lucrative enough. So most people cannot really pay the exorbitant rates slapped on items. Hence demand is less than the supply and prices are dropping. I dont mind though, since that just means more people will be competitive in the game and we will have fun fighting with/against more or less equal stats players. Its no fun playing a game where only a handful have the best pets and monopolize everything. This is coming from someone who had paid several millions for the pet that is now close to 1m.
