What do the P99 Veterans think will happen to the economy on Green when Kunark drops?

Nah there’s been a pretty chill economy on green that made realistic growth over time and leveled out well after market saturation. I’m certain items like fungi and even level 60 spells will end up in guild hands for quite a while (think who was selling GEBs early on, unlike things like GBS which were high value but diff type of camp) due to what it takes to camp them before there are 60s everywhere wanting to form farm groups. Also I’m sure they will eventually come with some dramatic prices but realistic for the era/length of time people have been farming plat (also a difference when compared with blue).

This isn’t fully accurate for Green though. Prices for significant items from like day one never took into account how long people had been farming plat for. Look how much things like FBSS and certain weapons were going for from the start. People sit on those items and set the market at the price they want and are perfectly content to hold out because they know it doesn’t take a lot of time for people to farm lots of plat in this game. Prices for something like a fungi tunic will be through the roof for the first like 6 months at least.

I'll be amazed if we don't have mass boxing bans and RMT bans when it comes to fungis, VP keys, etc, and most people are going to get burned out on their shamans before reaching Torpor level - which is part of why the price has remained so high for so long. People willing to do 54-60 solo are willing to put in that exact same amount of time to farm whatever price people are charging.
