I sound a bit harsher above than I meant to, don't take it the wrong way. I do think, however, that increasing circulation of armour and allowing smiths to maintain a good profit margin even if prices come down a little (in the case of some ores that is) is the way forward.
Also, as with all other changes to other parts of the game, we do not make massive dramatic changes that will break everything, we very much prefer to make small increments, the %age change in drop rate, AR and so on for any specific ore will be somewhat small, but hopefully the cumulative effect will be good for the economy and the economic viability of wearing armour for fighting, hunting and so on.
