Nobody is debating the fact that CoS is an excellent item.

The issue is the supply is high and the demand is lukewarm. Its plainly price gouging and speculation by EC fat cats.

Another issue is is that the idiot EC traders are setting a price too high for their market. Pretty much anybody who has a Necro or SK alt (or 4th alt) already has the item. A new player cannot afford 25k for any single item, unless they RMT.

Add another dimension - there are ~less~ Necros and SKs being rolled than previously due to evolution of what is referred to as "the raid scene" and how "the raid scene" says that Necros and SKs are of limited "raid" use. All of the veteran FTE/poopsock allstars with SKs have no need for a CoS, and any nub to the server who wants a shot at stardom rolls a Monk. This lowers the demand even further.

Yes, CoS is "priceless." Another true statement? CoS is not worth 25k. Why? Because nobody is willing to pay that much. Rocket science? Hardly.
