So far everyone seems to be having a great time with the new patch.
Componant drops are definitely better. New hoard items should make all our dragon buddies very happy. Trinkets with very interesting effects and possible beneficial buffs are a blast. And they even figured out a way to put money on mobs that would normally not have any, in the form of pouches, wallets and money bags. And if that were not enough, they even upped the bulk of the t4 anf t5 vaults. Well done Devs!
But... what will this mean for the future?
First off, those that adventure will now have more opportunity to get money just from hunting. Comps becoming more plentiful, will mean that more players will have teched armors and cargo gear. Even expert forms will become so common that everyone will have what they need.
Now some will stop me right there and say, "Prices will fall through the floor! I'll never make anymore money off auctions! This will RUIN the game!" ( Yikes! ) Is any of that true?
Well, prices will fall as items become more common, that part is true. Auctions of expert forms will fade away to be replaced by selling componants, trinkets, and even the wallets. The adventurers will have a chance to interact with crafters better than before. We all will be better equipped, and even be able to explore using the wards and resists, since the componant costs will also be lower.
All of this points to the future. Unless I'm a completely blind moron, ( no cheap shots here please, your much to cool for that ) there is a reason we are being given a chance to become well equipped. The WA will be returning with a vengence! What do we want? WAR ( to quote PJ ) When do we want it? NOW! How will we prepare? ... well, by using to the full, the opportunities we have now of course.

So, enjoy what we have received! Gather up all your resources and crafting talents. Prepare yourself for what will come next. There are clouds forming on the horizon... and they are most evil in color...
