Fact of the matter is that whether there are 2 or 6 people camping Fungi, the drop-rate is still the same and therefore there will be just as many on the market. The fact that two people can no longer farm them strictly for cash does not justify raising the price. Go find something else to farm. Fungi Tunics will remain just as common/rare as they always have in the meantime.

There are two effects at work here:
1. The king is being camped 12 hours a day instead of 20 or whatnot, because it's not so fucking trivial any more.
2. A number of classes (like Rogues) who were utterly unable to duo it are now useful, and thus winning and holding on to their fungi tunics rather than selling them like 95% of the previous drops
On the other hand I don't think the price will go too crazy; there are already a huge number of them on the server. 80-85 actually seems like a pretty reasonable long-term price.
Considering that for 8 months after Kunark the fungi was 200-250, and that for another 8 months after people figured out how to SK pull him it gradually declined to 100k, and that it's one of the most overpowered items in the game (fungi+FBSS >>> cloak of flames and no regen), I don't really see the cause for complaint.
