see, the prices being so high wouldn't be much of a problem if there was an alternative, if we have the spare cash and are making a twink, sure go ahead and pay 5k for an item thats worth 2, but if its your first toon take a group and go camp it, only it is nigh impossible to do so, buying it is the ONLY option.

example, I have been hunting in mistmoore castle all week, there has not been one second I have been in that zone where the dhampyre was not camped by some level 50 farming it to sell the cloak, which means I only have one option to get that item, and that is farm my ass off to get 4k to buy it, I do not have the option of taking a group there, putting in the time and effort to camp that item.

this IMO is where the problem arises.

a fix for the problem would be ( and I'm just thinking out loud here so don't jump down my throat too bad ) maybe on Tuesdays only GROUPS can camp certain rares, no solo players allowed to camp those mobs on that day, this would at least give regular folks a small window where they might be able to acquire it.
