If you check the anonrerising link that is linked on the above comment, a nonny ITT admits they privately know a different pricejacker. So TS is not necessarily the sole bad actor here. Not to say they're innocent, in fact the opposite, but this is worth noting
Nodding I know that there’s someone who jacks Water Sprite prices as well (or used to at least), it’s what made them jump from 2kg to 7kg but they’ve steadily gone back down because there’s much more supply than light sprites
It's near impossible to price fix more common sprites, because if they try, they run out of money buying out all the other copies as other people show up to undercut them.
AYRT yeah in this case it wasn't meant to be sustained price-jacking as much as just flipping a bunch. as you said, much easier to do with light sprites due to scarcity

So it’s far from an isolated case (unfortunately)
