This Problem really is a pain, For PVErs. 

At this very moment a 50% price cut from the dark rooms makes farming mobs almost pointless other then drops.

Its 175r for 1 peace of diamond armor, if you were to purely grind just at the dark room, IT WOULD take you 1 hour 30 min (roughly) To earn enough for that chest plate.. Witch do to armor nerf is even more annoying! Dark rooms were and are A GOOD place to make money. And they need to be for the servers econ to work well.

IF you are happy with the econ of 1.8, We all need to really voice this problem.

The server needs to fix this next patch, or at least make a temp fix.

So both the econ and the players stay healthy.

This is not even mentioning how some factions have to use the dark rooms to pay off factions max tribute!

If you think you are safe from this problem you are not!
