If you look at the common ratios in Standard chaos are worth more than exalteds.

Commonly you'll find 1 exalted worth 31-34 chaos. But if you want to buy something with exalteds, you're better off buying it with chaos because the ratio is usually around 2 fusings to 1 chaos but 40 fusings to one exalted.

So if you sell your exalted for chaos, you can get 2-8 more fusings per exalted by converting it to chaos first. Fusings are just an example, other currency follows this too, although to a lesser extent.

People are really that dumb as to sell their fusings 2:1 for chaos in Standard right now?

Seems every month the Chaos:EX ratio is getting higher and higher. My theory is people are overdoing the Chaos vendor recipe. The money sinks for Chaos aren't getting used enough. And it's not because Exalts just became as rare as Mirrors. I remember in Closed Beta the ratio being real low. It's like we are dealing with two different currencies here (ex: American Dollars vs Nigerian dollars).

I've seen Regrets:EX rise in price but not nearly as fast as Chaos:EX.

That isn't really a standard issue. There are always some odd trade that can be done. The thing is 12 alts = 1 Chaos. 12 Alts = 1,5 Fusings. So 1,5 Fusings = 1 Chaos. But due to fact that the Alt : Chaos-Ratio isn't that stable there are a lot of strange trades and one of them is the 2 Fusings = 1 Chaos, since somebody traded 16 Alts for 1 Chaos.

This simply comes from the fact that some people seem to Oversee the 8 Chance = 1 Regret and 8 Alterations = 1 Fusing trades with Vendors. There are even people buying 1 Fusing for 9 Alterations sometimes.

In general it doesn't matter which currency you use but there are often people shouting for strange trades and if you are the fastest you can make good money. But it wasn't any different in Ambush, I assume hardcore-leagues are a bit different, since I doubt that people playing hardcore aren't aware of the vendor-trades.

Happens in Rampage as well, though. In Domination, the ratio was around 24-26:1. Throughout Ambush it climed to 1:30+, and now in Rampage it is 1:34.

I would agree with the OP that the chaos recipe (and more people knowing it) is a main contributor. Chaos orbs can be produced, exalted orbs must drop.
