I understand some of you stating to "just got get it yourself." That's not the point he is trying to make. The point is this: Torpor was going for 50k or less, less than 12 months ago...even 50k was considered high! Now it's 150k...it's disgusting, IMO.
Server's economy is so far out of whack it's retarded and NEEDS to be addressed...for starters, it's a shame that the devs stopped allowing account sells/trades to go on, this was a nice plat sink.
Velious was launched in less than a year after Kunark was released in classic EQ. On P99, Kunark has been out now, for what 3 years with no Velious? What blows my mind is the devs never took any precautions to adjust the server's economy/market to make up for this HUGE, UNREALISTIC gap between expansions.
The least they could have done was make legendary items MUCH rarer - items such as the fungi tunic, for example. Remember when they were ultra rare here? It should have stayed that way. I actually suggested this a long time ago - but nope.
You can't even compare classic server economy vs project 1999's - it's that bad. My only thought process is that maybe the devs think the economy is such a small part of rebuilding that classic EQ experience that they simply did not think about the server's economy/market?

I don't think you understand economics or classic EQ inflation. Huge amounts of inflation is classic, and has nothing whatsoever to do with expansions unless there was some expansion where effective money sinks were added. People who have been playing for a long time build up huge cash reserves, then give it to other players for stuff they want, and the cycle continues, with more cash being built up the more mobs are killed and the more stuff is vendored.
What does changing drop rates on fungi have to do with anything? It is selling for 100k if you can even find it for sale.

You are 0 for 3.
Yes, supply and demand do change. This is why it is often referred to as a supply and demand curve rather than a supply and demand point in space.
Greed doesn't change, it has been pretty much constant throughout all of recorded human history.
