Yeah the economy seems pretty screwed up, I'm having some doubts whether its going to be worthwhile staying around now solely because of this. By the sounds of it to get a high level set of tradable gear at 60 its going to be costing multiple millions in platinum's with some items I'm seeing being auctioned close to a million by themselves.

Comparatively on my server back in 2001 we were paying 2.5k for a FBSS, here its 10k at best, gatorscale legs were 200pp, here they're 800pp.

Problem being plat generation from gameplay hasn't quadrupled but prices seem to have.

"Waahhhh, I can't buy full donal's/prenerf fungi/whatever with the money I made while leveling from 30-50 on hill giants and seafuries. I think I'm going to quit!"


But seriously:
1. If you quit because you can't buy no-longer-dropping/raid-dropping gear just by farming seafuries for 10 hours... yeah.
2. WTF items are auctioning for close to a million pp?
3. This isn't live, and this isn't 2001.
4. If an item is more expensive than you think it should be, maybe you should go get the item instead of trying to buy it.
5. There is probably much more than 4x the plat here than there would have been on a similarly sized live server in the middle of Kunark.
