Today I saw what looked like 500 rock sold by an individual seller. And just before that another seller had listed a couple hundred rock. This is on NA. Same thing has been happening on EU. This has happened since the 3.5 launch and as a result the price of the rock has fallen from 2+ gold each to just over 1g each. I've been able to buy for under 1g at times. Prior to 3.5 it was normal to pay 2.5g to nearly 3g each.



It may be worth taking a look at the big sellers and see if they are manually farming or using bots. I know from personal experience on PTS that even during a loot drop event that it takes quite a while to farm 100 stone even when using loot drop potions.
