that's the point DVI
Farming gold is not more easy available with the new BOS rules
Artifacts go down in price for sure
and the gold we have in bank, what for that? 1M will still be = 2$ ? or an increase ratio will be?
.... so finally how much need i to pay for a damn vine cord sandal?

Farming gold has not been a significant source of income in some time, the best current method for obtaining gold comes from selling items, be they resources, runic kits, artifacts, event rares, weapons, armor or anything else you can think of worth significant value. Selling an item does not increase the amount of gold in the community, it simply passes it to someone else, but most players do not hoard their gold they use it to purchase new items either for themselves or to sell for profit.
As to artifacts, if you did not read the herald last evening, or yet today they changed the doom system again to reduce the drop rate. I'm sure it will be faster then it was prior to yesterdays patch, but definitley slower than it was throughout yesterday. This means depending on the variance in the drop rate we will most likely see a reduction in doom artifact prices, but doubtful to be a significant one, possibly a few mil off the higher end items, and a few hundred k off the lower end items, maybe less.
As far as to whether the cost of gold will change in a positive or negative manner, I do not believe it will, I believe that any fluctuation we see will be minimal, and completely within the current price ranges. But if the cost of gold does rise, you can expect that the prices of items in gold will fall, not greatly but to some extent. The problem is you're asking about event rares, these items are often exempt from the rate of gold bc they exist in limited numbers and therefore the prices for them often hold steady, with the major variances being an individuals need or desire to sell quickly, and the desirability of the item over an extended time(as more people learn about vine cords, more people want them)
