Player driven economy speculations

[Android57]

With the recent update changing the way prime parts are aquired many things have dipped in value such as many warframe sets. Some might say that they are at their rightful levels now but what I find interesting is Void Relics have essentially reduced the number of new prime parts entering circulation by 75%. No longer can 4 players get 4 parts from 1 key. Granted this is a general observation that doesn't take into account the relics may be easier to farm than keys, ect, etc, it's a safe bet that there will be fewer items overall. People are already finding it harder to farm ducats. With that said it would seem that the market prices will likely rise in the not so distant future.

I'm wondering what other players thoughs on this topic are?

My thoughts on it is if you are going to buy, buy now before the prices inevitably go back up once we get a new prime in rotation, and used to how farming NEW parts feels.

Some factors to consider:

• Old system has a big surplus of keys. Like 100 T1 keys in bank. Now even Relic 1 means traces.
• Now people far less roll junk. Since they can always pick something a bit better for them, or forma.
• Players can manipulate drop tables %, if Nyx is going down, everyone can radiant specific relics increasing drop chance 5 times. (or2)
• There is less junk. Even tradechat switched from 6for5 to more like 8for5. 
• There is no keys from fissure, or argon crystals, or mods or cores.
• It also matter how fast players are questing. In old system Def 20, or Survival 20 was a fixed time. Now ppl can roll the same, but spamming extermination, rescue, capture.

Ducats: DE plans to adjust prices of ducats. So keep your junk.
