ok im going to just put this out there from what i have seen on Blue since starting a couple months ago. First pricing on certain items that have been on the server for so long like fungi at this point should only be about 20K. go to EC and watch 10 different people selling them at 40-55k. thats everyday. now the other problem with the economy is that you have lvl 60's farming things that are attainable by lower lvl people that would be a better item for them and also grant them exp. The only real sollution is to farm hard plat. now Seafurries while granting exp to people in there 40's also dropped items that made them pp. which i think we can all agree in the beginning when just starting was a good thing for everyone. Hillgiants is the same way they were the second best HARD plat mob to kill to give you exp and money for the mid lvls. when you have lvl 60's killing an exp mob and money mob noone that is lower lvl can afford to buy your high priced items in ec which makes the economy suck. idk idc thats my thought on the economy..im going to keep doing what im doing. if you read this cool if your gonna troll this thats even cooler.

I think the argument to that is the prices are based at 40-50k because people are actually paying that much for the item. If people stopped paying 40k+ for item XYZ then the price would fall.
The argument could be made that people are putting a lot of effort into farming item xyz and time is money (Plat). The camper wants the highest return.
Also given the variance in knowledge of money camps based broadly on what people know/play/class capabilities. You come up with more variances to why prices are higher or lower. There are so many factors that it can lead to a nose bleed if you really want to break it down beyond numbers.
I think the important thing is the economy is healthy due to the player base. The cost of items holding value means they are still worth camping and the value of plat is still relevant. For clarification we haven't switched to certain items holding value as currency. Can I get a "20 SoJ's for that 7% Mana/Life leach neck!" reference!
For now I am going to stop my post here in case someone else wants to add information.
