You know it doesn't really move the conversation forward, but the sole reason of the high prices of WUC and ECs is not simply having more DZ in general. Prices just started skyrocketing from one moment to the other. They are not harder to find, LC is still the most farmed raid and gives the most dzennies, Vicarious is still the highest dps gear, people didn't suddenly upgrade their gear so that their clear time dropped to a fifth of their original one.
I feel it's super suspicious that there is a price point every single day where every EC and WUC is bought up in a minute. I highly doubt that a single person is capable of buying up every stock or that multiple people just coordinate accidentally.
I'm quite sure they have enough money to buy literally everything up. Even if we had people that just want to make huge profits, who doesn't need WUCs and ECs? Geared up people need them, since Primal's gonna come and everyone wants to have their new perfect gear, high WUC and EC prices is bad for them. Poor people don't really need them, but they are poor so they can't exactly buy the whole market up and artifically create new and new pricepoints. The only party that doesn't need EC and WUC and can afford not to sit on them is gold sellers. WUC and EC prices changed from one day to another and so did the prices of gold sellers. If they had no connection, I don't think this would have been the case.
