I think that the prices will be dropping somewhat, but because of the increase of supply from letting players pick their own virtual team size, not because of any changes to AE. But valuable enhancements will always be valuable. I really don't see the price of the Miracle or Numina's uniques dropping like a bomb any time soon.

Hmm, what specifically are they gutting about AE? :/
EDIT: Just decided to take a look at the patch notes >.>
So yeah, an XP nerf for custom critters it seems - although i'd be more worried about the increased merits rewards than the XP nerf when it comes to stuff gutting AE

Don't. Miracle recovery will be even MORE expensive in i16 because it is pool C, and below level 50 where the farming will be.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

Very true. If the farming moves out of AE then Purples, other Pool As and most Common and Uncommon salvage will probably drop in price but conversely fewer tickets being generated should lead to an increase in the price of Pool C/D recipes.

However pool C at level 50 is a mystery, since it will be balanced to an unknown amount by boss drops.

Technically yes but the drop rate of Poll C/D from bosses seems to be pretty low and I suspect that most farmers will use the enhanced difficulty options to turn off bosses anyway. So while there will be a trickle of level 50 Pool C/D recipes coming in I think that the rate will decrease from it's current level.

So after a couple weeks of relentless grinding for AE tickets and lamenting abysmal luck with gold rolls, I finally got a Miracle +Recovery last night. I was thrilled, and immediately crafted and slotted it for 17.5% recovery (set bonus).
..then I saw the i16 patch notes, announcing that the AE will be gutted Soon(tm).
So now I'm fighting a battle in the center of the mind against my superpowered ebil side. I want to play with the extra recovery and never worry about running out of end. My ebil half wants to respec the enhancement back out and sell it for 300m before the economy crashes.
Must.. resist.. urge.. to.. speculate! I can feel the dork side gripping my wallet. I keep finding this monocle in my waistcoat even though I'm sure I threw it away, and my hair is forming into the shape of a tophat. Also, when did I start wearing a waistcoat?
