There is always a vocal minority that really thinks its important. They generally argue that there some kind of social experience of great value in it. There are people that like to haggle.

I suspect that its more often about how much money there is to be made keeping the status quo. Right now there is a parasite tunnel class of people that make millions of pp off flipping items. They wait for impatient people, play little bait-and-switch games, cash in on RMTers (many of them RMT)...they do a lot of things besides play the game.

The thing that sucks, is it hits the people trying to start EQ with nothing the hardest. There would be an active low-level economy on this server if people didn't have to waist their time spamming their wares in the tunnel. It would also be a huge quality of life improvement for most people that actually play the game.
Get a load of this pixel economy casual

Bro if you ain't flipping pixels for 16 hours in the tunnel then you don't deserve great wealth
