Actually, I argued that the wiki tracker assisted in reducing to the "Price check on X" followed with "Lol at that price nub" argument bullcrap that follows with it being missing. So your sweeping argument there failed.

Moving on, back in 1999-2001 EQ had official forum boards as well as Allakhazam having boards with specific sub forums for each server. Numerous posts were listed over and over with price checks on items, they were referenced by players, and don't tell me otherwise in a feeble attempt to prove your point. It happened.

Furthermore, top guilds on each server had their own web pages and consistently had item sales as a sub forum for people to browse through, which again was a server specific source for doing a price check. Conveniently forgot about this happening as well?

Stating that people back in the old days had to spend countless hours to be informed on item prices is sheer bullcrap. The sources were there. And if the wiki isn't restored, we'll see a return of them in multiple formats.

Auction tracker was only ever of limited use, but it's more valuable than not having it. There are items I only ever camped after spending some bathroom time on my tablet skimming the wiki for stuff I could camp.

Anyone arguing against it on "shits classic" principles is arguing a fight they can't win. Shit like the tracker existed in classic too.

Bring it back as soon as possible.

Hate to tell you, but PC's are as classic as CC's are.

It never existed on classic. Just another entitled new-aged MMO player chiming in.
The reason you guys want auction tracker is:
1) You save time by not camping EC.
2) You are scared of being ripped off.
I have yet to see anything other then these.
Auction tracker never existed on live. Allakhazam's price lister was a comprehensive list that included ALL servers for each item, making it completely inaccurate.
You guys want the EC tunnel dumbed down, just admit it. It isn't your fault, you have had your hands held this long so I can see why you require it moreso.

This is what is says at the bottom of Wiki.

"Note: This is a wiki for a reason. If you see something that's wrong or can be improved, don't ask that it be fixed, please just improve it. As they say on wikipedia, edit boldly.
[ Please note: The p99 wiki is an unofficial, community supported resource which may contain inaccuracies, and is not administered by the p99 developers." ]

The devs have NOTHING to do with it. And shut the hell up about being "CLASSIC" shit. If I hear that one more time on here I will puke.

If you just started on here you have no clue in hell what stuff cost. Just what you need to find out that you looted your ass off to pay 200 plat for a item that is really worth 100 plat to some Jew Bastard in the tunnel flipping shit. If we can not get new blood on here this server is dead. And if they get ripped off by Richgirl types guess what. The hell about your supply and demand stuff.

You are full of misconceptions. First of all, EC traders do not make shitloads of plat by overcharging people. If we overcharge we quickly lose our business because people won't buy from us. We buy items for less than they are worth, and the seller knows this by checking the wiki. We then sell said items at the normal market rate. The wiki does not effect this, wether its on or off it is the same profits. People get tired of spending countless hours in EC so they dump them cheap. We don't rip everyone off and add it to our jew bank while discussing further ways to prey on the ill-informed; like the majority of the repliers may think.
My argument is soley that EC is a sub-game within EQ, and the wiki is giving you all the information you need to win it. The wiki interfers with the market more than it helps it, its like a communist big brother telling us what we can sell our loot for. This server is supposed to replicate classic, so why would you get mad when I compare it to Classic? Isn't that the point?
You people villanize EC traders, and think we are all about ripping people off; this is a very stupid generalization.

I honestly cannot tell if you are serious about this or if you are just trolling for tears.

Alla was never the only site listing items and prices. As stated before, other third party sites and guild sites all had this info. Are price checks via guild and ooc classic? Absolutely! Not everyone knew about or took the time to check all resources available to them. But the sources did exist. The one you used most often depended on your server, the guild you were in ect.

The arguments for the wiki price tracker (or even the wiki itself) being removed are flawed in that they are not inherent to the game mechanics. They mimic the same kind of resources that were around back in the day. Even if the overly vocal minority who want the tracker permanently removed had their way, other sources would pop up in short order. There has already been a secondary auction tracker linked in this thread, one that has existed along with the wiki tracker for at least a year (more?).

This is a dead issue. Online resources about items were around in 1999. People used those online resources. Online resources about items are available today, specific to p99, and will be wether the wiki tracker lives or dies.

I'm going to sneak into Elethia's home and take pictures of his television, car, cell phone, computer, and internet connection and then demand he 'go classic' and buy a horse and buggy.
