People just don't get, this isn't blue, the prices for items on blue are meaningless, they have zero relevance here for a variety of factors.

1) There's no market here for low-mid range items. It's just not worth farming or selling items of this caliber here.

2) The type of items in demand here are different than blue due to it's nature as a PVP server.

3) Red has been dominated by one single raid guild which has literally 98.9% of all raid loot in the game, they also have like 90% of the wealth on this server. That means when you're trying to sell your high end items, your target market is usually Nihilum, but they already are decked out in end game gear. This makes selling things here much more difficult, and it's why I choose to farm mainly resist gear which has a broad market base as opposed to individual items which are far more difficult to sell.

4) Because this is a PVP server and it's a low pop server, people can simply camp many of the items that are on permafarm status on blue and not drop any plat, further lowering the value on many items that would sell on blue.

5) Legacy items have diminished value here such as manastones, NoS, etc., because so many of them flooded the market place with so little a pop.
