So, I just read this little gem on the Global Lab notes....

system

● In order to reflect the standard price of the integrated exchange according to the actual demand of the item for which reservation purchase is formed at a high price (upper limit price), the range in which the base price can fluctuate is not the existing maximum/minimum bid range. Changed to include.

Does anyone else read that (Google translation) as "if an item is backordered to heck at max price, the price will be allowed to float?"

Here is a different translation:

"To ensure that the Integrated Exchange base price is well reflected according to the actual demand of the item at high price (upper limit), the base price variable range has been changed to include the bid range of the base price, not the existing maximum/minimum lower limit."

So basically it sounds like if the base range moves from where a bid is at, currently you will not see those bids, but after this update they will stay included.

TL;DR: No, Price cap is not being removed.
