Trickle down greed economics

[Velerin]

Seems like on this server for so long a few people had a strangle hold on the top items in the game (epic pieces, etc.) They could sell these items for however much they wanted (800k?!)
Now the level 60s not in this group want these items so they have to find ways to farm pp. They rape the next tier down for epic MQs, powerlevel services, fungis, etc to earn pp to buy those epic pieces from group A.
The next tier down (all the 50-55ish people) want to buy all these overpriced items, epics, fungis, etc etc. So they run around looting every possible MQ item regardless if someone actually doing the quest needs that item (i.e. pawbuster pipe in kc)
Then people scream and yell on here that some druid rolled for my MQ item and I didn't get it etc. etc. Basically blaming tier 3..when it really all funnels up to the top.

Maybe with the stranglehold on the top finally loosened the greed will reduce over time? (Probably not but I can dream)
