You sound like my wife! =D
Like some people and myself have stated in this thread, prices are actually down from a year ago, quite a bit down on most high end items. The only item I have seen increase in price is manastones.
And not to sound elitist...but the people complaining about prices are new players who see this huge price for a fungi tunic,(half what it was a year ago but again...who needs logic and facts). What they dont seem to get is if they progress and lvl as intended they too can go farm a fungi or any number of items that sell for a lot and all of a sudden...they have money to get what they want.
If they think they should be able to afford a fungi on their first character at lvl 20 they are deluded.

I'm actually comparing to the prices I remember from live. For instance I was quoted 1600pp for a shield that I sold several of for less than 200 back in the day. So no, it's not just the very high level gear that has crazy prices. Every item seems crazy inflated because there is so much extra plat. I can't even afford level appropriate newbie gear on my character because I'm new to 99.
I was even told by 3 different jewelcrafters in EC that they wouldn't bother making gold or electrum jewelry. The one who finally did it for me charged me 3X the combine cost when jewelers used to gladly do it for cost just to get the skill increase for making it.
Right now I'd like to just find a simple magic weapon to kill wisps with. If they are out there none seem to be selling them. If it doesn't sell for 1000pp then no one even bothers with auctioning it. It's just not worth their time and effort.
Its not the end of the world. Anyone who has played on a day 1 server has used mundane gear for many, many levels.
