That's exactly what happened. There was a couple weeks when there wasn't a single Northrend herb on the AH for days at a time and when they showed up, it was about 100+ Gold a stack. I actually managed to grab a couple that someone posted at 50G shortly after server reset and relist them for 90G . . . sold in minutes. All from my handy iPhone Remote Auction House =P

That's not at all what happened.

99% of the raw mats you buy on the AH are farmed by bots. Do you really think humans can farm that much stuff day after day? Enough to have 20+ stacks on the AH each day? No.

The prices are high because Warden 2.0 was released with 3.3.5. Most bots shut down until they could figure out what changed with the update. I would bet you'll see prices start to come down into the normal price range within a week or two.

Banhammer, Warden 2.0 . . . W/E. That wasn't my point.

All I said was that the botters were shut down and the herb market came to a screeching halt on my server.
