Since last friday the economy of radiant, as well as all the other servers I would beleive, has been swamped by higher end CA's AA's and smuggler gear. As a result items that used to draw 2+ mil in auction have dropped to the 600k range. Thankfully for me I got in ahead of the rest and made more than 15 mil on sales before the bottom fell out (Vacation ftw there). My point is this, seems like the devs found a way to reign in the economy just a bit. Heck, some SEA's have dropped in price due to the "ease" of getting the nice drops. While this won't be a long term fix, I think that they actually found a nice, fun way to bring about a bit more stability to the servers. Just my thoughts on it.

Whats funny is if you just go kill DJM spawns you will definetly get more highend SEA's than doing BH missions. Trust me, the moment people found out how easy it was to farm on Talus and farm DJK/DJM, the value of SEA's dropped considerably.
The only thing that BH's missions have done is made it possible for noobs to actually slice their equipment and it also gives us a chance to compete with high end Krayt loot (although it's better than any Krayt loot)....hopefully since they are a rare drop (unlike Krayt loot)that is enough to keep them in game.

About time too, prices on radiant server have always been a little cheaper than most other servers but the last few months saw them go even crazier than the richer servers.
Hopefully these new loot drops will sort it out a bit.
Must go on a little loot farming misison myself, If I can tear myself away from space for a few hours.
