I have two opinions that I would like to contribute:
1) I think it is good to let new people have the same chance to get an item through camping that established people have had - even if it leads to eventual "overstock" in the market. This is a natural occurrence even if one were to slow the drop rates. I would guess that for the most part, people who are in favor of slowing the drop rates probably already have most of the items they want.
2) In my opinion, drop rates on P99 for many choice items are already less frequent than on Live. This may be due to a less frequent spawing of named mobs or lower drop percentage or some combination of the above. I will site as examples the Iksar Ceremonial Chestplate (Hunter/Forager cycle somehow spawns less nameds here) the FBSS (freaking uber-rare drop IMO) and the Heirophant Cloak -after many trips to the Crypt I have seen very few drop. Certain spells also seem a LOT more rare.
