Venting: Standard economy affecting league economy

Not asking for advice or sympathy, just venting to the void.

I don't much care for standard. I only hop on there to look at my old trophy characters/items and maybe do some mechanics testing with my otherwise useless resources. So the exalt/divine change doesn't affect me directly.

It has affected sentinel's economy directly, however. Most my wealth was in exalts. There's only a few days left and I haven't finished one of my league goal crafts (a 5 mod item made via recombinators), and suddenly I don't have enough wealth to buy the stuff I need to finish it.

The individual items aren't very expensive (except the chayula chest mod, which I have 3), but due to the nature of recombinators I need A LOT. Normally peeps would be liquidating their stuff at end of league for things useful in standard, IE exalts/soon to be legacy stuff/etc. Now my purchasing power is a fraction of what it was before so getting 200+ annuls has become prohibitively expensive.

So yeah, rant over. Booooo.

Finish it in standard then. Recombinators are not deleted nor changed, they will still work.

Yeah but 3 of the mods I'm going for will become legacy: 100% global defences, 14% life as ES, and 34% spell suppression.

I suppose I could just hoard those but I haven't whaled out on stash tabs.

It will become legacy but all copies of those existing will still be there. Just like they exist now. Amount of them will not change. It will just be harder to buy on standard because 99% of people who had those items on league wont even bother checking standard.

Yes, this... I haven't bothered to log into standard except to shift my tabs around after the notice that their position would be remembered from standard to league.

I've got like 12 remove only currency tabs that I haven't looked at in years.

You should check those tabs for Divines :)

Why?
Standard might as well not even exist as much as I bother loading it.
