I was about to say that gold farmers might be responsible for some distortions like a stack of copper ore being 1-2g or more, since gold farmers will get gold but will never get copper ore.

But I think the more likely reason is that people are funneling gold to alts; in other words that the copper ore is being priced at what a lvl-60 would pay, not what a lvl-15 (the common consumer of copper ore) would actually pay.

So this part of the economy is distorted by the fact that things tend to get priced in terms of what the labor of a typical lvl-60 char is worth - 5g/hr or so.

Would you rather pay 2.5 gold for it or spend an hour mining 20 copper ore? The answer to that question depends on whether your time is valued at lvl-60 rates or lvl-15 rates.

Makes it kind of tough on new alts-less characters.
