Actually I disagree completely. One example was on Phinigel there was a particular person who would repeatedly train anyone trying to farm the GEBS camp. He'd camp there 18 hours a day. He had an absolute stranglehold on the market. But somehow I still managed to get my own pair.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but it's very mistaken if you think P99 is the epitome of 'elitist' and only here can people be anal about camping certain loot.
Furthermore, I can accept your point about how the top people on Blue will be hte top people on Green if they decide to roll on it. Sure. But why does that even matter? It's a new economy. There isn't the enormous glut of platinum and items that there is now. Hell, until Kunark releases and people get access to Sebilis there isn't even that much raw platinum entering the system.
I realize some people may not have seen the post, but Rogean has stated it has always been the plan to do this once they'd finished writing all the patches.

Cute and idealistic (things that don't exist on p99). As someone who has played since 2010, I can confirm, Thulack is 1000% right. The same people will control everything. The first person high enough to camp the contested items will just pass camp between guildies for the life of the item. Sure, it had gotten better on p99. But if you think a manastone(purely for holding onto and selling later) doesn't get 90% of the neckbeards hard then we play on very different servers.
