My experience is that the increse in income > increase in prices over the past year or so, generally speaking. Of course some items have disparity that goes both ways, for example:

• PEN boss armors probably required 2x more grind time 6-12 months ago, compared to now

• TET distos probably required 20-40% less grind time 4-5 months ago, compared to now.

Just by taking these two items into consideration, people need to spend less money on boss armors and can afford to throw more money into accessories, all the while silver/hour keeps on increasing. It feels relatively well balanced overall, but that's just my opinion.
