Are T6 dust prices going to drop again?

I think that now John Smith has announced that saying anything about plans for precursors will “shock the market”, I think the price of t6 mats should be shooting through the roof.

Here’s why:

Implications of the phrase, “shock the market”.

• If, after months of complaints that precursors are too difficult to acquire, Arenanet were to announce that precursors were to become even more difficult to acquire, there would be a public outrage.

• If Arenanet were to announce that the precursor system were not to change, then there would be no shock.

• It therefore seems much more likely that the shock will come due to precursors becoming easier to acquire.

In addition, we have this from Colin yesterday (though I haven’t seen the original in any official capacity yet, so this may not be true), “There will be other legendaries in the future. Priority is resolving ways to get precursors, including the scavenger hunt 1/2” — this adds fuel to the fire, if genuine.

Repurcussions
If precursors are easier to acquire, then t6 mats should increase in price due to everybody buying them for the completion of their legendaries.

Actually, any of those actions would cause a market shock.
