Disenchanting items still full value (just)

[Monkof]

Last night Blizzard aimed to implement a hotfix to increase the amount of materials gained whilst disenchanting/shattering. Luckily this hotfix failed, but it will still be coming soon.

For now this means there should be no direct economy change, although perhaps some people may have quickly sold their goods when this hotfix was announced.

I would assume this hotfix will decrease the value of various items such as infinite dust when it goes live, so it may be worth selling some excess stock.

sorry, but i don't understand. What should I do, if I enchanter?

I think he means that blizzard were going to increase the mats
gained from disenchanting.
But somehow they messed up and it will be coming later.

If you are an enchanter it doesn't mean you have to do anything particular.

The purpose being, many people buy/sell items on the AH such as infinite dust and greater cosmic essences. This change will (most likely) greatly alter the prices of these items on the auction house.

Additionally those people who have just stock piled these items hoping to sell them at some point, may consider now as being a good time.

Another thing to consider however, let's assume the price drops to half of what it was. so if you used to be selling infinite dust for 4g a piece or 80g a stack, and now it only sells for 2g a piece or 40g a stack. You will still be making the same profit if blizzard doubles the amount of mats you get. I think the profit will likely stay the same but I could be wrong. It is one of those things you will just have to watch for a couple weeks after the hotfix drops

So it means that you will gain less from DEing stuff...That will make the game just that 1000X more easier...Blizz have got to stop failing.
