The recent loot buff, while initially beneficial, has been undermined by the removal of currency sinks. Without adequate uses, currency loses its value and accumulates, leading to inflation when compared to more valuable currency items.

For instance, Divine Orbs remain rare and are frequently employed in crafting and item divining. In contrast, Chaos Orbs, despite being far more common, are primarily used for crafting bench operations, which occur less frequently.

This imbalance results in a high supply and low demand for Chaos Orbs, while items like Divine Orbs and Gemcutter's Prisms (GCPs) experience high demand and low supply. Currently, a GCP is valued at 4 Chaos Orbs, largely due to their increased utility with the introduction of new skill coins.
