Hey there,
regarding the changes to the respec cost and black market silver generation: the goal here is to keep silver inflation in check. We want to keep the in-game gold/silver price low as this is important for players who get their premium through gameplay. Back in October 2019, when the in-game gold price exceeded 4000 silver, we had to take far more
drastic steps which brought the price down significantly and caused it to stabilize below 3000 silver for the most part.
The various updates and patches since the Queen update in January of 2020 increased overall silver generation significantly such that the game's existing sinks could no longer keep pace. We could see from our internal stats that the silver surplus generated per day was getting so large that - without us acting - we would again see the in-game gold price go towards 4.000 or higher, which we absolutely want to avoid by being more pro-active this time.
When it comes to respec specifically, one of its stated goals when introduced was to be an efficient silver sink as it's essentially a short-cut for leveling up additional items. When the feature was introduced, we also decided to give free respec points when maxed out to provide a solid baseline for those who do not want to spend the surplus silver this way. In order to offset the impact of the current respec change for newer players, we decided to significantly buff satchels (in terms of impact and cost) such that leveling up an item in the conventional way becomes easier.
