Most of the economic issues i had with the 1.4.3 beta are now gone , my caravans are working . my workshops are making about 100g ea . and the prices are now working well enoght that i can do trade runs (desert horses are not more expensive on the desert than on the snow anymore) , i did not see anything on the hotfix on that topic . but it just works now .
to the people that complain like hell about how op the smithing is and that it should be removed i got a idea for you , why dont you STOP USING IT IF YOU FEEL THAT ITS OP , the developers already said that they are doing a full rework on smithing , so there is no point on them twiking the prices now if they are changing the entire sistem.
