This minute they are a touch low Ill give you that: but an average cost of 850 is not exactly poor house low for mineral miners. To your eyes what is high and what is low?

Think of it like a thinning of tax based empires ;) The strong will survive and the weak will restart as mineral, commerce, or agri.. and order will be restored...
I notice not too many people are complaining about the high cost of minerals on RT... Hmmmm
Naa everyone just needs to put some 800 barrens on their borders for agri collective empires to take. The obvious solution is give us more land on which to make food ;)
Food suppliers dont control the price the market does. If all suppliers decided to sell food at 10 a piece then the soon would not be enough food. We are not keeping the price high were just putting food out there at a price that the market will tolerate..
