Low pop server = higher price for materials that might be true but a lower price for finished goods as there is less demand for those goods, as there is less demand for high priced goods makers of those goods pay less for materials which drives down their costs ... High pop server is the opposite but in both cases the demand for finished goods goes drives the cost of materials. Lower pop server has lower supply lower demand, high pop server has higher supply and higher demand ... and I cant see a difference.
