Is Primal weapons being unattainable really true classic?

[Wakanda]

also PKT and reed belt were ultra rare on my server, i know people who camped bilge for 6 months, multiple people competing for this spawn day in and day out and never got him. so when i saw reed belt and pkt on p99 green literally everywhere as soon as the server opened, i was at first flabbergasted but quickly realized its just not classic

there are still old auction prices for these items from pre kunark going for 20k+ pp because how rare they were. i also remember when runed mithril bracers were 5kpp on my server.

not because the royals werent perma camped around the clock, but because the drops were super friggin rare in true classic.
