![]() Honestly I think most of you are just whining and not trying hard enough. If you look hard enough and bargain with people you'll get better prices. Most people want to sell things quickly and will settle for like 80% of the price they list.
Also, you can't complain about price-gouging for a very obvious reason; let me explain with an example: in real life if the price of, say, carrots is too high that's a problem because (a) carrots are food and food is essential and (b) it's hard to grow your own carrots. However in Everquest everything can be farmed/quested for eventually and nothing that players sell is "essential", and so the EC tunnel is just a shortcut for people who want to get good items sooner. Therefore, the prices of most items have a reasonable upper bound because if people gouged too much no one would ever sell anything - it's not like any players would be "forced" to buy from other players the way people would be forced to buy carrots if everyone sold them for a hundred dollars each. | ||

![]() A few random points:
a) Everything is worth exactly how much some sucker will pay for it. Overpriced shit will not sell until the seller drops the price low enough for an interested buyer to send a tell. The only way to bring prices down is for people to stop buying overpriced shit at the advertised prices. However, see (c) b) The advertised price isn't always what the item sells for after haggling via /tells, which is going to be based on how long the seller wants to stand there auctioning his/her overpriced shit. c) If the market is overpriced and stays that way without reaching equilibrium, it's because there's an overabundance of level 50's with cash to burn inflating the market on their alts, creating a heavy barrier to entry for non-50 buyers that are levelling up to 50 for the first time without access to that sort of plat from HG/phat lewt farming.
