There aren't many "new" players joining the server at this time. A lot of lower level players are usually 3rd/4th/5th twinks of higher level players. The people trading items are 50kpp+ are raiders and players who farmed a whole lot of manastones and items that no longer drop before these items were removed from the game.

I think this is primarily the cause of what we (as new low level players) are seeing. There is little to no market for lower level gear and equipment, as most everyone is a twink of some sort, or being helped along by a much higher level player. So players don't bother auctioning off the lower level gear - they either dump it or sell it to a vendor as it isn't worth their time.

Still having fun, just trying to figure out the server dynamics!
